Have you ever experienced aches and
pains while working, or feel tired all of a sudden even before you start
working?. Well, this is practically the effect of stress on your body. Most
medical experts agree that stress can be a profound influence in the decline of
your normal body functions – tight muscles, migraine, drowsiness, and so on.
Most medical experts agree and research
has proved that a healthy bout of physical exercise can improve your health
despite the daily bout of stress due to career, personal or social problems. It
is advisable that you should take some time off from work, or an early good
night sleep and wake up early in the morning to engage in some physical
exercise.
Physical exercise for stress
management
Physical exercise can help to improve
your body’s adaptability to stress. This involves routine movements that will
improve your cardiovascular functions and at the same tome strengthen your
heart. This in turn improves the circulation of blood and other bio-chemicals
which your body requires to maintain a good health.
When oxygen are well supplied to the
muscles, muscle integrity will improve which will also enhance endurance, stamina
and flexibility. Engaging in physical exercise can also serve as an outlet for
mental stress – release of depression, anxiety, anger, fear, and so on by
focusing on your workout.
Exercise tips
To get the required result, you must
follow certain physical regime of exercise. Simply jogging around the block or
lifting some weight will not provide the overall effect as a complete workout.
Here are some tips that will start you off in releasing stress through physical
exercise:
1. Time. To avoid interruption during workouts, you must set out a particular
time that is suitable for you. Early morning is the best time for an exercise
since the fresh air will help your body get the clean oxygen that it needs to
recover from those accumulated stress.
2. Warm-up exercise. It is very important to engage in light exercise to warm your body up
and also stretching out the muscles before engaging in heavy workouts to avoid
cramps and injuries during and after exercise workouts.
Start off with some minor stretching,
beginning with your ankles, legs, hips, arms and neck. Make sure you do it slow
and with set time intervals so your body won’t react negatively. The purpose of
the warm-up is to let your body adapt to the work-out that will follow
afterwards.
3. Required sports
equipment. Purchase some health books that
features exercise routines for different parts of your body. You can also
purchase light weight dumbbells, exercise balls, exercise marts, and so on to
improve your body’s performance.
4. Proper Diet. One of the most important facets of the physical exercise regime is your
diet. Make sure you eat enough balanced diet so that you won’t easily
get tired and weak from the physical exercise. However avoid those unwanted cholesterol and calories. Stay away from fast food goodies and junk food
rather stick with healthy fruits and vegetables.
