Reduce Stress Through Exercise

By Lee E. Balcom

Stress built up from frustrating or dangerous situations can cause serious problems to your health. There are a great number of stress relievers to include meditation, hypnosis, deep breathing, eating more properly, laughing, playing games, listening to soothing music, reducing caffeine & alcohol, eliminating nicotine, and performing moderate exercise. The list goes on but it would take a large book to list all of the stress reducers and how best to implement them.

If you picked exercise as a choice for your personal stress reducer, here are some tips on how to do it effectively.

First of all, pick an exercise that is moderate and that you would enjoy doing on a daily basis. If the exercise is too intense or too long in duration, chances are that you'll give up on it and your stress problem will not be resolved. Your goal should be an exercise that will stimulate your body to create a level of calmness and happiness in a relatively short period of time - meaning a few weeks or a couple of months at the most.

To be on the safe side, confide with your doctor on your planned exercise program to insure that it will be helpful to you based on your physical condition, and any health problems that you have.

Once cleared by your physician, you should begin your program in a calm, collective way for 15-30 minutes per day. If you can do the exercise in your home or office, that would be much more convenient, more time saving (eliminates travel to and from the exercise location), and probably a lot easier on your wallet or purse.

The main thing to do with your chosen exercise is to be consistent in its use, moderate in nature, and fun to do. When you start seeing results, don't stop your exercise regimen - make it a daily habit for life!

Whatever choice you make, I wish you the very best.
