Stress

Stress can be relieved in many ways. It all depends on the person and what they enjoy to relieve that stress. Stress can be positive in some ways and harmful in other ways. I personally like to hit the gym and get swoll with Tanner. Just being in the rec room with high testosterone men gets me super jacked and automatically makes me beat my max by 10 pounds in bench. Leg day is never needed.

The End

Stress

I feel like physical activity is a great way to deal with the stresses that life presents you. To relieve stress I like to read and to workout because it brings life back down to the basics. I personally am trying not relieve stress by watching tv or playing video games by myself for a extended period of time because it brings me into this state of unconscious that deprives me of being present in the moment and accomplishing my goals. I want to try and workout in the morning because like the article says it helps me sleep which I really need. Also to relieve stress I want to try to regulate my workouts so I can focus on improving my body as a whole as I get stronger.  

Stress

Whenever I find myself stressed, there are only two things that I allow myself to do. Either push through whatever I’m stressed about until I don’t have anything left to do. Or I lock myself in my dorm and do some yoga. I find that pushing through the stress is much more effective but in turn, stresses me out more. If I need to get something done, it’s better to just work at it until I’m finished than stress about it. However, this process doesn't always work as well as it needs to. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with homework and other things that I can’t finish. Yoga comes in handy here in two different ways. One; it’s physical exercise that releases endorphin and relieves stress when I need it. And two; it has a meditational aspects that helps me to clear my mind when I need it most. One of my new year’s resolutions was to start working out again. I want to start going at least 3-4 times a week regardless of what day. I can go to the gym every week day after my classes get out around noon. In my room I have a set of push-up handles and an ab-wheel that I want to start doing sets of either every morning or before bed. 

Stress and Exercise

All throughout high school and the first semester of college I had anxiety and stress about classes, tests, and non-school related things. I tried a numerous amount of things to relieve stress like getting more sleep, eating healthier, and taking my time to relax on weekends. But none of them did anything to help. Last semester I (like all of us) had a required class that had us work out on our own time. The workouts slowly started to improve my mood, my stress levels, and even my test scores. I found out that no matter the activity, getting up and moving greatly improved my day. This semester I don't have that class, but I continue to go to the rec and shoot baskets. Shooting baskets a couple times a week helps me relax and focus on my classes. I learned a valuable lesson this first semester that will continue to help me through school and work.

Stress

Stress is easily relived by exercising. Many different people do many different exercises to relive stress. Some lift and others do yoga. The exercises I do to relive stress are going on a run or a hike. These two activities allow you to step way from whatever is stressing you out with the joy of going out and getting fresh air. The fresh air helps clear my mind along with the intense physical activity of running. After I complete a run or a hike I feel refreshed and open-minded, ready to take on any task that heads my way. My next fitness goal is to run a marathon this year. This goal will also help break up the stress of school by breaking up the day with a few runs.

Exercise to cope with stress!

Pretty much everything I do in my daily life has some sort of stress associated with it. Different levels of stress vary from a final exam to what I'm going to text someone back. The ways I deal with the stress that comes my way is by listening to music, sleeping, going on a spontaneous run (for more major stresses), or go hang out with friends and get my mind off of things. Some goals that I have been looking to set for awhile is setting a regular routine of working out. I a already physically fit, but as we all know, there is no limit to the amount of fitness a person can have. Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays after my 7:30am math class would be the best time to go to the gym or on a run. That way I can workout in the morning and sort of wake myself up for the rest of the day. Some other times of day I could incorporate physical activity are right when I wake up and right before I go to bed. My goal is to do a certain amount of pushups and sit-ups before I can be a couch potato and go to bed. Go broncos.

Exercise has stress relieving powers

I look at exercise as a stress reliever all the time. It helps you also get any frustrations out that you have kept in your emotions the whole day. Most people just go to look fit too, but relieving stress is a big issue. Stress can have harmful side effects such as pains in the body, and can give you high blood pressure. Doing any type of physical activity can give your body the necessary relief it needs. Also, sleep tends to be a big issue because many people are sleep deprived. When we exercise, we need our bodies to heal, and the deeper the sleep, the more time the body has to heal.

Stress

      When it comes to stress there are several ways I deal with it. Most important I just enjoy life. With that, it would include going to bogus, listening to music, gym, golf, maybe not golf, or just dance in my room with Matt. HA sike, but really I try not to worry about the little things and just strive for the larger goal. If it is a test that I'm stressing for, I will just study my ass off until I feel comfortable with the information given to me. If that's not enough I will just deal with it and look forward to the future where I can just relax and not worry about it. We are human and we make mistakes but if I study all I can, I will get the grades I deserve.

Stress

The biggest stress reliever in my life is just going outside and getting fresh air. I enjoy going on a bike ride or taking a hike. But I also relieve stress through just hanging and not doing anything and just taking a break. A fitness goal for me is to go to the Rec at night between homework. I always have an excessive amount of homework so it's always nice to break up the load with some physical activity.

Stressssss

The way I deal with stress is by going to the gym, talking with friends, and watching tv.  Laying down and watching tv relaxes a lot and I can do that for hours.  However, I still go to the gym about five times a week with my brother.  Most of the time we lift weights, but once in a while we end up playing basketball which is good cardio.  A great amount of my stress though lately is not getting enough sleep.  I end up procrastinating my homework and end up doing it very late at night.  I go to the gym at night, but I might try working out in the morning this semester because the article said it can help sleep.  Hopefully that will help with my sleep and reduce my stress.

Stress and Physical Activity

From personal experience, I have found that sports and other physical activities are the best way for me to deal with stress. I try to go to the gym every day, but I realize that that isn't always going to be possible. Realistically it is not sustainable in the long run so I go at least three days a week. Another goal I have is to push myself when I am at the gym so that I can improve my fitness. At the beginning of the semester my roommates and I sat down with our schedules and figured out that we are all free to workout at 6:00pm it is a lot easier to exercise when other people are holding me accountable. As I said, I currently do my exercise routine (consisting of 20 minuets cardio followed by a 30 minuets  on a targeted muscle group) in the evening so according to the article that is a good time to burn fat but for my goals of increasing my fitness, working out in the afternoon would benefit me because of the increased intensity associated with working out at that time. I already get a healthy amount of sleep so the benefits of a morning workout don't interest me all that much.    

Stressin and Exercisin

Some goals I have for myself when going to the gym is to run for at least twenty minutes and find time afterwards for some other workout.  Working out in the evenings works best for me because I have morning classes five days a week.  It also helps after a long day to go for a run rather than coming home and being a couch potato for the rest of the night.

Stress and Exercise

School and sports have pretty much ruled most of my childhood/teenage life, making exercise and stress big parts of my life, which is both good and bad. Good because I like the challenge of a busy schedule and the hard work that comes with it, however a demanding schedule can wear me down sometimes. That run-down feeling has definitely been a part of my college experience so far. To help me find balance, I like to go to the gym once a day, assuming there is a break in my schedule that allows for that gym time. If not, some sort of fun activity, like a bike ride, is a great substitute. Finding time for such things can be pretty dang hard sometimes because all I really want to do is nap after class, but laying around all day static leaves me feeling worse than if I would've dragged myself to the gym. Working out, no matter how strenuous, boosts energy levels in the body, makes you feel happier, and refreshed afterwords.
Ideally, I would like to start each day with a good workout so I get the day started off right, but knowing the reality of how well I wake up early, that will probably not happen that often. Instead, I will go to the gym every afternoon/night after my classes are finished as a sort of break in between class and homework. Hopefully, this will lead to better sleep and higher energy levels, making a hectic schedule more doable.

Stressin

If you asked me what I did in college to relieve stress it would probably take me a little bit to think about it. In the old days I used to make a lot of pottery, yoga and swim and ride horses. Now I watch Netflix?? I don't really relieve stress anymore maybe. The articles I think are acurate because my mom and I used to go on morning walks and quite possibly I slept better. But at the same time I think I sleep just as good now, because I'm oh so exhausted from walking to classes and essentially doing a lot of nothing. But thats life right? This semester I am going to have a art outlet because I miss that daily. I want to start up yoga again and then go hiking and outdoor stuff. Who's with me

Stress and Exersise

When looking at the ways I deal with stress, I feel like I have a few solutions. Being a typical lazy college student I turn to sleep and eating. When I am feeling top notch, I like to turn to yoga and running. When it comes to goals, I really should work out more, as well as find more productive ways to funnel all my energy. Sometimes I feel like my spazzyness gets too bottled up, almost like a bottle of soda that has been manhandled. Oh wait, I do get manhandle by all of you. Anyway... When it comes to the time of day a person should work out, I honestly don't think it really matters. Maybe for guys because they have more testosterone in the morning, but as for us ladies, I just think as long as we work out then we are golden. I hope that since we are back at school, I will start working out more in the evening since that is when I have the most free time.

How I Relieve Stress + Physical Goals

When I find myself starting to become stressed, I have a few different tactics to relieving it! Music is a huge stress relief for me, but who could disagree? Music is awesome. Yoga helps me to relax, as well as drinking tea in the morning and/or at night. In the summer time I love to jog or bike outside, which I prefer that rather than being cooped up in the rec center. My favorite thing to do in the rec center would have to be rock-climbing, which refreshes me afterwards. Follow up with some time spent in the sauna, and I am completely relieved of stress! My goals for physical activity would be to wake up early and workout. I always set my alarm for 6 a.m., yet I snooze it and go back to sleep. My bed is just so damn comfortable. If I can’t seem to find the morning energy, I think I’ll start by waking up and meditating before I start my day. It will be a good way to clear my head, and have extra space in my mind to complete assignments. I want to try and run at night as much as possible, and maybe take a few classes offered at the rec. I only have one class on Mondays and Wednesdays, so I will be able to commit to a workout on those days. No matter what happens, I know I can’t give up. It’s just a matter of being persistent, determined, and taking one day at a time!
