Stop and read this article with top stress busting tips. We have talked about no excuses and have touched on stress but in all seriousness it's time to get those stress levels in check......
Regardless of your profession or passion stress has a toxic effect on
our body and our mind. If you are busy
with work, crazy at home with kids or getting ready for a big event such as a
wedding then your best coping mechanism is to get your stress levels under
control. Exercise is a great way to reduce
stress and release the natural high of endorphins that helps combat the nasty
stress hormones.
In our busy lives it’s important to work smarter not harder when it
comes to exercise. If you are doing the
same work out day in and day out and are stuck in a rut you will get mediocre
results. Doing a strength session every blue moon won't ease much stress or get
you looking any better. Lock in a minimum of two workouts a week and mix in
some cardio, too. Boxing is a great way
to relieve stress at the end of a busy day plus it’s a great all over body
workout. If you want to de stress and
get up a sweat then boxing is the best option.No equipment? No time? No excuse!!!!! Simply going for a walk or a jog no matter how slow can be a great way to clear your mind and de stress. If you are feeling overwhelmed hit the pavement, take a moment to breathe in some fresh air and watch your stress melt away. While we are talking no equipment, no time no excuses!!!! A quick home circuit is a great way to get the heart rate up! Sweating reduces the stress producing chemicals and our sensitivity to the stress hormones in the brain and body.
