Stretching Can Reduce Stress

Sworkit Wellness

Work, family, friends, or just life in general. We don’t disagree with you that sometimes things are stressful and it makes it really difficult to get into the mood to workout. How can you think about exercise when you’re worried about your job security? Sometimes we aren’t in the pattern of working out so jumping in can be difficult.

 

Take the time to decide before bed or as soon as you wake up that you deserve a few minutes to yourself. Remember exercise is adding to your overall well-being.

Be aware of your stress levels and focus on your breathing. In five minutes you can feel completely rejuvenated. Your blood will start to flow better, giving you more oxygen to your brain.

Your muscles will feel relaxed, too.

Are you someone who builds stress in your shoulders or back? The result of a great stretch is a feeling of increased muscle control, flexibility, and range of motion. Instead of feeling stiff, go throughout your day feeling that free mobility.

We have a peaceful stretch for you to implement into your morning or night routine. It won’t cause any noise so don’t worry about waking anyone up. Just relax, stretch and feel well. Good luck and stay motivated.
