Exercise Tip: Beat the Stress

Feeling stressed?  Aerobic workouts are fantastic stress beaters.  

Exercise helps relieve stress through several different physical mechanisms:

Fifteen minutes of any activity that works the major muscle groups such as walking, running, cycling, swimming, and climbing stairs helps relax the muscles.

Exercise helps your body metabolize stress hormones more quickly.

Exercise releases endorphins, those naturally produced chemicals that relieve stress and promote an exercise “high” along with a sense of “feel good” hormones and well-being.

When you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, take the best reliever for stress:  Exercise!
