Personal Training Journal Entry #8
Everyone knows that exercising is good for your body and a big part of physical health, but what many don’t put enough weight on is that exercise can boost your mental and emotional health. In fact, exercise has been proven to benefit your overall sense of well-being.
So the question is, what kind of exercises target stress relief? Pretty much all of them!
Anything from a fast-paced run to a calm and collected yoga session, exercises can help you manage stress levels and retain a higher quality of life.
Even after a short workout, I notice my mood has improved and I feel more confident to say the least. Studies have shown that working out and other forms of exercise also battle mild depression and anxiety. In short, working out is not just good for your body, but your mind as well. Feeling stressed, worried, or anxious? Bring your surfboard out to the water in Malibu, go for a hike at Temescal Canyon, or simply take a nice long walk after dinner. Whatever it may be, whatever exercises work for you, get them in for your overall health, and keep your life in balance.
Sincerely,
