Exercise and stress relief
Exercise increases your overall health and your sense of wellbeing, and exercise also has some direct stress-busting benefits.

Feel the flow of endorphins:

Physical activity helps to bump up the production of your brain's feel-good neurotransmitters, called endorphins. You may not feel like it at first but you will soon start to get a "buzz" from training sessions

Wash it away:

After a fast-paced game of racquetball or several laps in the pool, you'll often find that you've forgotten the day's irritations and concentrated only on your body's movements. As you begin to regularly shed your daily tensions through movement and physical activity, you may find that this focus on a single task, and help you keep calm and clear.

Boost your mood:

Regular group exercise can increase self-confidence and lower the symptoms associated with mild depression and anxiety. Exercise also can improve your sleep, which is often disrupted by stress, depression and anxiety. All this can ease your stress levels and give you a sense of command over your body and your life.
