I assume that you're talking to me... though my name ain't 'reynold'...

I said I thought physical exercise helped well being, and therefore might well assist in dealing with stage fright, but I still dispute that exercise alone will stop it.

I've been performing live, and taking exercise for years. I still get stage fright, but I can manage it and carry on as I said.

I still do not see a direct link between exercise and ability to handle nerves. So no, I don't think you're right.... but if it works for you, fine....
