It’s important to listen to your emotions before doing any kind of exercise. Feeling angry or excited causes your body to release adrenaline that can give you a natural boost during cardio or high intensity workouts, while feelings of stress or anxiety are better suited to low impact, more mindful exercises like yoga or swimming. Once you recognise and define how you’re feeling you can then channel this into something positive and select the best workout session to suit your mood.
Here are seven workouts routines that can be matched to our most common daily moods, as recommended by Fitness First:
ENERGISED
Try boxing or body combat While a boxing class can seem intimidating at first, the experience can be therapeutic. Not only does boxing provide you with an opportunity to release your emotions, it can also help increase your body’s endorphin production, which are natural ‘feel-good’ hormones. Boxing and combat classes are both great ways to relieve anger or stress while also strengthening your entire body in the process.
