Beat Stress with Strength Training

Life in the 21st century is fiercely competitive and strength training can be an effective tool of stress management. A recent study by researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia revealed that high-intensity exercises help people in reducing stress and anxiety that have become a part of daily life. We would like to discuss how exercise helps you to get rid of stress.



Strength training helps the muscles to relax- We know that we are stressed out when our muscles get tightened up. Actually, this may lead to bodily pain or spasms. Exercise helps the muscles to release the pent up energy and in turn, relaxing them.

Makes use of the stress hormones- There are number of hormones, which get secreted into the blood when we are stressed out. Non-use of these hormones can lead to irritation and stress-related disorders. Exercise utilizes these hormones and makes us well equipped to beat stress.

Happy Hormones- Exercise releases endorphins (also known as happy hormones) in the body that provides a feel good factor. They act as natural painkillers, which makes one feel happy and positive.

Release of pent up frustration- It is easy to get frustrated in today’s life where success is measured only in terms of money. Exercise helps in the reduction of frustration and this, in turn, promotes a sense of general well-being.

Improved appearance- Let’s admit the fact that looks do matter in today’s world. Exercise helps one to lose weight, tone the body and make one look good. A well-shaped body helps in the enhancement of the confidence level and self-esteem.

Along with all these benefits, the greatest contribution of exercise is that it improves the resistance of body against stress. Research studies have proved that those who exercise regularly can deal adverse situations more calmly and with better clarity.

So what are you waiting for? Rush to the gym now and start leading a stress-free life!

Significance of Recovery Methods Post Strength Training

Most fitness maniacs are aware of the fact that warming up before starting any strength training routine is essential. It prepares the body for the intensive workout sessions and prevents occurrence of injury such as muscle tear. However, many are ignorant about the fact that taking care of the body after the weight training sessions is equally important. Post-workout activities have a great impact on the muscles, and may determine how well the body reacts to the exercise. We provide few simple but essential post-workout tips.



• Opting for stretching exercises immediately after the strength training routine is essential to make the body flexible. In addition, it helps to enhance range of motions around the joints. This, in turn, improves the balance of the body and wards off various age-related injuries. Stretch the major muscle groups that have been used during the workout sessions.

• Once you are done with stretching the body, take rest. Remember that resting after a vigorous exercise session will help the body to recover at a natural pace.

• Taking a shower post-workout helps you to get rid of the sweat and stress. It makes you feel fresh and energetic. It is recommended to have a hot shower for few (2-3) minutes and a cold shower for 1 minute thereafter. The hot shower will make the blood vessels expand and the cold shower will help in their contraction. All these, in turn, will speed up the blood circulation.

• It is important to refuel the body after the workout sessions have depleted the energy levels. Opt for healthy foods such as fresh fruits, boiled eggs, an energy bar or shake, chicken or vegetable sandwiches after the exercise routine is over. Do not forget to drink sufficient water. You must have at least 2-3 cups of water after you have finished the fitness sessions.

It is important to remember that implementing these few tips can make a great difference to your fitness results and overall health. Setting aside 15 minutes for these recovery methods will help the body to reap benefits of your strenuous efforts.

Consequences of Terminating Strength Training Routines

Many fitness enthusiasts join an exercise routine with amazing dedication and start losing motivation after a while. Of course, we all like to take a one or two days break between our exercise schedules; but putting an end to strength training routines all of a sudden can have drastic consequences – both physically and mentally.



Exercising regularly has a number of benefits such as enhanced levels of fitness, protection against diseases, improved mood etc. Research studies have proved that these benefits are acquired over a period and when you put off the exercise schedule abruptly, your current levels of fitness take a dip. Moreover, once you start working out after a long break, you will have to put in more effort and energy to make up for the loss.

Stopping strength training routines suddenly also increases chances of the body to succumb to diseases. David Kump, a researcher at University of Missouri-Columbia stated that his studies have revealed the negative effects of putting off fitness routines for a long period. He commented that being inactive even for two days could increase the risk of obesity and insulin. Another article published in the Journal of the Physiological Society (Nov 2004) also echoed the same thing.

Apart from adverse effects on the body, lack of exercise also negatively affects the mind. Studies have proved that withdrawal from fitness routines for a long stretch of time gives rise to depression, fatigue etc.

Considering the adverse affects of putting off fitness schedule suddenly, it is important to continue with exercising some way or the other. Be creative and make the exercise routine fun. This will keep you motivated and you will never lose the urge of withdrawing yourself from fitness activities.
