Sheepdog Tip of the Day, After Combat tip 48
The stress hormones flooding through your body are made for fight or flight, and cannot be ignored. They need to be used, and hard exercise is the best way to do it. When you get busy, however, it is often your workout program that is the first thing to go. Do not let this happen to you, because exercise is the very thing you need. A daily run, 45 minutes pumping weights or a basketball game are the kind of things that can help burn off the stress hormones flooding through your body. Be sure to work out with positive, quality people who can help you blow off steam. You do not get anything from your workout when you exercise with bitter, trash talking or quick-tempered people. Such individuals only add to your stress.
