HAcky sack right before english exam?

Just wanted to know if exercise (pretty hard stuff - hacky sack makes u sweat) is ok before an exam?

The TSFX tips say that u should relax before the exam and we thought hacky sack would be perfect to sooth the nerves, but is it bad to get to break a sweat right before the exam, even if it rids the nerves?

Was also wondering if exercise is helpful... I was going to go for a run in the morning (at least it'll wake me up) but would this make me suddenly crash halfway through?

I know that from psychology meditation, social support and exercise are excellent ways to cope with stress but I'm not sure how much it would improve you. I'd say go for it, a little bit of exercise never hurt anyone. :)

In my opinion, you should probably stick to your ordinary exam routine or day to day routine. If you know exercise will help you relax and won't tire you out, go for it! But otherwise, why risk trying something new on the day of your exam? Don't add more uncertainties if you can help it.
