Have you exercised today? Even though most of us know that exercise does our body good, we often feel too
busy and stressed to fit it into our daily routine. But how important is it to make time for exercise? The fact is
that almost any form of exercise, such as yoga or a workout in the gym, can relieve stress. Even if you aren’t
a natural athlete or you're a bit out of shape, you can still do some exercise that will help you to reduce stress.

It is well-known that exercise improves your overall health and your sense of well-being, giving you more
energy for your daily life. However, did you know that it also has some immediate benefits that reduce
stress? Here are a few of them.

• It makes you calm. After a fast game of football or several lengths of the swimming pool, you may find
yourself concentrating only on your body movements and realise you’ve forgotten the day's irritations. As
you begin to relax and focus on your physical activity, you feel the daily tensions disappear, and the
resulting energy and optimism can help you feel calm and see things more clearly.
• It releases endorphins. Physical activity helps to increase the production of your brain's feel-good
chemicals, called endorphins. A run, a game of tennis or a walk surrounded by nature can give you this
feeling, too. Spending time outdoors is really good for you.
• It improves your mood. Regular exercise can increase self-confidence and reduce the symptoms of mild
depression and anxiety. Are your nights regularly disrupted by stress, depression and anxiety? If so,
exercise can really help you to sleep better. It lowers your stress levels and gives you a sense of control
over your body and your life.

So what are you waiting for? Get moving! Why don’t you invite a friend? You might even have fun!
