Exercise Help Stress

One of the best ways to reduce stress is with exercise. What kind? There are two basic types: aerobic and anaerobic. Either one or both will increase body metabolism. But you ask: "How does exercise which causes stress also help with stress?" Great question.

Exercise does cause stress and too much can be too much. People die while they exercise. You've heard of them. So how can exercise be good for you?

You have to be in great health to be able to afford exercise. Stay away from anaerobic exercise until you build a capacity to do it. Anaerobic is the high intensity, short duration-type, like weight lifting.

Begin by walking around the block. That will help reduce stress a little. The trick is to make exercise a regular part of your life habits.
