Stress Awareness Month - How exercise can help

Make fitness a habit and eliminate stress with the help of a personal trainer in Kingston

Stress is an inevitable part of our lives, and it’s something that we all experience at some point.

In fact, stress can actually be helpful in certain situations, but when it becomes chronic or overwhelming, it can wreak havoc on our physical and mental health.

That’s why April is Stress Awareness Month, a time to focus on the impact of stress and how we can manage it.

Exercise is one of the most effective ways to reduce stress, and it doesn’t have to be a gruelling workout at the gym to be effective.

Incorporating movement into your daily routine with a personal trainer in Kingston can help you feel better and manage stress more effectively.

Let’s explore the science behind exercise as a stress relief tool.

  • Produce endorphins – One of the primary ways exercise reduces stress is by increasing the production of endorphins. Endorphins are chemicals that are naturally produced in the body and act as natural painkillers. They also have a mood-enhancing effect and can help to reduce feelings of stress and anxiety.
  • Reduce stress hormones – Exercise also helps to reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the body. Cortisol is produced in response to stress and can cause a variety of negative health effects if levels remain elevated for extended periods of time. Regular exercise, with the help of a personal trainer in Kingston, has been shown to lower cortisol levels and improve overall stress resilience.
  • Promotes better sleep – Another way exercise can help to reduce stress is by promoting better sleep. Poor sleep is a common symptom of stress, and exercise has been shown to improve both the quality and duration of sleep. This, in turn, can help to reduce stress levels and improve overall mood and energy levels.

When I started with Niall about 9 months ago I was really out of shape. He has been great at getting me back on track by pushing me hard enough to stretch me but not hard enough to break me! I’m feeling much stronger and healthier than I was back then. Niall’s a lovely, high energy person who cares about his clients and is good at adapting his training techniques to the individual. I particularly enjoy training with him in the park. Highly recommended.

Being one of his older clients in age I have been trained by Niall for last two and half years and he has worked wonders. Pushing me beyond my comfort zone without making it hell! He has built up my confidence after an injury and is just good company to be around! Can’t imagine life without him now!
