Stress Management
Research has shown that fit people are more able to handle the long term effects of stress without suffering ill health or burnout. This is due to to them having a less physical response to stress than their unfit counterparts.
Stress Management Through Exercise:
- A healthy outlet for negative emotions and promotion of a
positive mood.
- Reduction of adrenal hormones produced by stress.
- Production of endorphins helping to relieve pain and
elevate mood.
- Reduction of excess adrenaline.
- Reduction of muscle tension.
- Optimal body function to promote restful sleep.
- Resting nerve cells (that cause worry) so that these can
be renewed.
Improved power to focus and think Exercise improves the blood flow to the brain which reduces toxic waste products in the brain that cause foggy thinking; also the increased oxygen to the brain brings additional surges of oxygen to the brain that may be needed when you are thinking intensely i.e. the best ideas can come when you are exercising! Improve self esteem and self efficacy.
