Exercise Reduces Stress and Burns Fat: Discover How Exercise Relieves Stress, Depression & Gives You Boundless EnergyYou know that exercising burns body fat; but exercise reduces stress too, lowering high levels of cortisol, your fat-storing hormone. As you notice immediately when you try it for yourself, exercising boosts your energy levels and metabolism helping you burn more fat faster - this is long known... But now, the whole medical community and alternative health experts agree that, in addition to all its physical benefits, exercise reduces stress - in a BIG way. Beyond improving your cardiovascular system and lowering your blood pressure - hence greatly reducing the risk of a number of serious diseases - exercise relieves stress stored in your muscles and internal organs. Plus, it unclogs and de-stresses your mind. In fact, exercise is one of the best ways to manage stress. More than that, all studies on exercise and depression are demonstrating that exercising banishes depression. Just choose the workouts that are most fun for you and your mood will soar... You'll feel energized, joyful and full of life! These are just a few of the physical and psychological benefits of exercise. It's actually easy to understand ... How Exercise Reduces Stress......when you know its basic mechanics. Very simplified, the stress response starts a number of chemical reactions in the body, preparing it for "fight or flight" as a way to deal with the danger. Nature created this specific stress response as a short-term fix, so you could deal with whatever danger threatened you by either running from it or fighting it. Unfortunately, modern life is not as simple as that. You can’t run away from most of the stressors that are driving you up the wall, neither can you fight them physically. The stressors are constant. They are everywhere. There doesn’t seem to be any place or time in today's world when you can let go of worry, anger, frustration, hostility, anxiety, and depression. But exercise relieves all this stress by increasing the production of endorphins (the “feel-good” neurotransmitters) and natural pain killers in your body, which gives you a rush, or a "high" - in a good way ;-) As you focus your mind on the specific physical activity that you do, your irritations and frustrations gradually dissolve. Exercise Reduces Stress by Giving You......an outlet, a sort of "break time". 
Try it and you'll see for yourself... regular physical activity dissipates negative feelings, sublimates anger and irritability, increases your self-esteem making you feel good not only physically – by burning fat and getting you back into shape - but emotionally and mentally as well. Plus, the increased energy and self-confidence you gain from exercise is making you more outgoing and social, which in itself adds to the psychological benefits of exercise. And there’s more. Exercise reduces stress and your stress-related symptoms like sleep problems, sugar cravings, general anxiety, brain fog (by improving blood flow to the brain), headaches, low immunity, premature menopause, lower (or no) libido – we’ve already talked about the effects of stress on health. Take up something you enjoy doing and keep doing it regularly a few times per week - you will not only see those pounds melt; your stress is going to be a thing of the past allowing you to enjoy a full and vital life! So, are you ready to experiment with some fun stress relief activities? Remember, exercise reduces stress not only emotionally... It gives you a little time to yourself, away from your responsibilities and the constant demands upon you. It gives you solo time away from work, kids, and the daily grind helping you get your head back in order. It is like playtime all over again - the secret is to pick a type of exercise that you really enjoy! Is it swimming? Riding a bike? Dancing on your favorite tune? Playing volleyball? Yoga?
