What type of design would best suit your research question? (Experimental, Correlational, etc)

Experimental

What research method would you use to conduct your experiment? (Survey, case study, naturalistic observation, lab experiment, etc.)

Survey to ask individuals in what moods they find them selfs in when and when not working out.

Please reflect on the process of designing this experiment. What were the challenges you faced? Was this more/less difficult than you expected? How?

One challenge is that people live different life styles resulting in different stress levels. Also, it would be tough to gather a large population that would be willing to experiment for a period of time.
