What is the relation between your physical fitness and how you manage stress?

Posted on September 3rd, 2010 by admin in fitness | 5 Comments »

How does your physical fitness level determine how well you manage stress?

Preferably in detail with links to support.

The two go hand in hand.
Your body will effectively suffer for your mental stress, as when you stress you release cortisone, which depletes muscle and fitness gains.

However, fitter people are usually calmer (not always) and have better circulation, allowing them to process the stress and its physical effects.

    Well i can’t offer you links. I can only offer you my best advice from personal experience. Working out changes your mind. If you’ve been depressed, it can tear you out of that state of mind. If you’re stressed from work, you’ll probably run an intense mile and feel AMAZING after. It takes strenth and it helps you deal with stress in a healthy way. After a work out, you always feel better, no matter what the stress is. Physical fitness can become an addiction (a good one) that helps manage your stress and release toxins and enjoy a natural high.
