LIFT WEIGHTS TO BEAT STRESS

Weight training is very helpful in reducing stress. Lifting heavy or challenging weight can help you to release all the negative energy that you may be carrying around.

Exercise of any kind works unused adrenaline through your system, which in turns allow you to sleep better and feel less agitated. Additionally, strength training raises your endorphin levels in the brain the "natural high" serious exercisers talk about. This high may only temporarily relieve stress each time it occurs, but over time, experiencing those highs leads to a more positive, upbeat outlook which combats the agitated negativity of stress.

Weightlifting can build confidence. Even if you're already reasonably confident, there is just something about feeling physically strong that makes you feel safer in a world that's sometimes hostile. It gives you a much-needed dose of perspective, which helps your brain distinguish better between real emergencies and missed deadlines, thus reducing the number of times you have an unnecessary adrenaline response. This in turn reduces stress.

The Average Person Should Be Able To Lift 1.8 To 2.2 Times Their Body Weight For A 1RM. Your 1RM Is The Maximum Amount Of Weight You Can Lift Once With Correct Form.
