Body temperature lowers while exercising

I was exercising this morning with a Leslie Sansone Walk the Walk 3 mile video - it was my second day. I actually made it past the 1 mile walk, and then I suddenly remembered something that I read in "The Lyme Disease Solution" by Kenneth Singleton. He said check your temperature after exercise and if it is lower than normal, something is wrong.

So while I continued my workout, I took my temperature. Normally, it is 97.4 or 97.6. It was 96.2! I took it twice to make sure. And this was after 25 minutes of walking and moving back and forth and waving my arms. I was not sweating, but I was real tired.

Has anyone had this problem? Does this mean that I should not be exercising like this?

I have found that moderate, rhythmic exercise is very helpful. It seemed to be good for joint stiffness and low temperature (even if it dips immediately afterward). Straining too much or exercising on a particularly low day seemed to set me back further. Listening to your body is so important. Having goals like trying to make it through the whole exercise video are very good for morale. Right now I'm trying to go for walks long enough to tire my dog out!
