How to Manage Stress Through Exercise

Finding Your Calm Through Exercise

Are you feeling stressed out? If so, you might want to lace up your sneakers and get moving. It might sound simple, but research has shown that physical activity is a great way to blow off some steam.

Exercise: A Natural Stress-Buster

Physical activity helps to reduce stress in a few key ways. First, when you exercise, your brain releases chemicals called endorphins—those are the feel-good hormones that make you feel happier and more relaxed. At the same time, exercise can help lower levels of the body’s stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol.

Moving For Mood

What types of exercise are best for stress relief? The answer is simple: The ones you enjoy! Whether you love walking in the park, hitting the gym, or dancing around your living room, what matters most is that you’re moving and enjoying it.

Building A Routine

When it comes to stress management, consistency is key. Try to get at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity every day. If that feels overwhelming, remember: even short bursts of exercise—like a 10-minute walk—can help alleviate stress.

Get Support

While exercising on your own is great, working out with a supportive community or a coach can take your stress relief to another level. Having a coach can help you set and reach your fitness goals, and being part of a community can make your workouts more fun and motivating.
