Most people apparently don’t realize that their body was not designed to live and thrive without exercise. Or maybe they do and they are just lazy… In our fast paced culture, we tend to think that because we are tired from the day to day grind, that exercise will only make us more tired. Yet the great paradox is that we need exercise to cope with the day to day stress of life. And this isn’t just physical, it is emotional as well. That is one of the reasons that the most prescribed drug in America is anti-depressants… next most prescribed drugs? You guessed it blood pressure and cholesterol lowering drugs. It’s not hard to see the correlation. If people would simply exercise the way their body was designed to, many of their ailments would go away.
So with that in mind, check out this post over at Anxiety Insights. Stress has a huge impact on health. One of the most important ways of dealing with stress is exercise. There are all sorts of ways to exercise, but I still think that the most beneficial is weight training. Other forms are not bad, but weight training is shown to have many positive effects that other types of exercise can’t give you like improved strength, muscle tone , bone density and tendon/ligament strength. So get to the gym and do something- anything! You will feel the difference, both physically and emotionally.
