I know tht I need to exercise to relieve stress. It has worked in the past and I know it will work again!

Ever try deep water aerobics? A great way to get a good workout. It is fun and you can work as hard as you like without any joint pounding. It is NOT just for little old ladies with with hip replacements.

I do feel better after a workout. I make sure to do something each day, whether it is riding my stationary bike or strength training my major muscle groups. Doing this at home is easy for me. Plus I can DVR certain TV programs and watch them while I workout!

I agree wholeheartly! I’m a retired senior, not much stress, a free health club/gym membership and am completely prescription-drug free. Going to my club faithfully three times a week keeps me in peak condition physically, mentally and socially. It makes everything else in life that much more enjoyable.

I agree with crazy4ou. I can not remain stressed when I am working up a sweat. I love spinning! I will be there tomorrow! And it is much healthier than over eating. Thank you.

A new gym just opened up in my back yard (almost); going every day has really reduced my anxiety and body-stress. For a PE flunky, I am in seventh heaven going to the gym these days. :)

I am going to a Bikram yoga class today!

I love yoga and it really helps to clear my mind. I love the balancing poses most of all, b/c you can’t really think about anything else.

Playing music does it for me.

i never feel like i want to wqorkout and i always postpone it but when i do i feel great emotionally and physically

after lifting weights i lose the stress from that day.

Today I could really use some stress reduction! This is a great day to start thinking about my evening run as a stress reducer. I’ve been training for a half marathon, and the motivation is starting to slip a bit. I’m definitely motivated to feel more relaxed, so hopefully the new outlook will help!

I love yoga… although I try the many different kinds, my favorite is the stretching which really helps my stress level. Even in the middle of the day with only a few seconds, I can bend over and stretch those old back muscles, deep breathe a couple of times and – on my way. TRY IT!

Exercise is the BEST stress reliever! When I’ve had a stressful day at work, I can’t wait to get to the gym or track. I not only feel relaxed, but have renewed energy and a much-improved attitude when I am finished with my workout.
