Exercise anger management
Exercise helps us manage stress. Now researchers think it may also help us handle anger. According to a study of children published in the November ‘08 issue of Pediatric Exercise Science, exercise helped overweight kids express their anger in healthier ways. How to apply this preliminary learning to your life? Today, challenge yourself to exercise for at least 20 minutes. Then, see how angry you get the next time someone irritates you. _Always consult a physician before starting any exercise routine._

I walk, do push-ups, and sit-ups during my luch break for about 20 minutes. This helps me reduce my stress levels at work.

I exercise everyday, sometimes 2 to 3 times a day. I was exercising to hard and became a very angry person. If you go too much it can have a bad effect. I guess that was my way of punishing myself for things but I also punished everyone around me. I have since tamed some of my workouts to a dull roar and I have a bit of a sunnier disposition. I also decided that clean eatting is the way to go.

I currently cycle 3 to 4 times a week for 1 hour but want to do more.

i think i’m too tired from exercising to get mad any more. i have een trying to lose weight and i exercise on a trampoline for 1 hour, ride a bike for 1 hour, work on a stabilizer ball with weights for 30 minutes, use a weight machine for 30 minutes, and then work out with wii fit doing running, stepping and boxing for another hour. by the time everyone is home from work and school and dinner is done, im too tired to be angry and argue with any one!

When I catch myself in time, I pray and mediate. It helps me to calm down. i am not always consistent about this, though and that is what I want to work on.

I haven’t figured out what works for me yet as I just joined. I think maybe a 20 min. walk with a few exercises, maybe 40 min., fisrt to get warmed up for walking. I also think yoga might be beneficial.

My anger management is a little different than most. I turn anger onto myself. When I am angry with someone, I hold it back. I don’t say that I’m mad, then I act out with passive-aggressive way. I know that I just need to speak out and state what my thoughts are. If someone doesn’t like it, then I should not care. This is my challenge!
