regular physical activity vs emotional distress

It's my third week on the training program. I'm close to reach one hour of recovering~ stationary bike, with some crunch/pushups/whatever and some taichi/boxing. After remembering, thanks to some random article, that loosing fat needed prolongated average efforts instead of burns, I started rethinking the bike exercise. Also the handlebar caused some tension in my forearm/wrists => uncomfortable tingling in my hands. I ended up doing bike-jogging. Sitting straight up, arm and upper body swinging in sync with pedaling. You look and feel like jogging but on pedals. Very very smooth, I suppose the upperbody swinging momentum shoves a bit of the effort from your legs, and helps keeping the rhythm. It feels great, 3 kilograms of fat allegedly left my body, some muscle mass came too, and it reinforces joints, enough that I can walk stairs both ways without feeling pain in my left knee. Not 100%, but a great side effect.

That said, I'm still not very stable. Often anxious, knee jerking, during the day. Some times nauseous. Sport is very beneficial, but I need to change things in other departments too.

ps: doing crunches again is funny, next day soreness forbids you sneeze nose-gasms, you can't expel air fast enough to get the numb sensation.
