Is exercise stressing you out?
After a stressful day at work or at home with the kids, have you ever felt better after doing a pilates, yoga, spin or RFK class? Moderate amounts of exercise help to reduce stress hormones (such as cortisol), leaving you feeling energised and calm.
Moderation is key however, as exercising intensely can actually increase the levels of cortisol in your body leaving you tired and depressed. Read more about the relationship between exercise and stress from American Fitness Magazine here.
