Anxiety and the Benefits of Exercise

Anxiety is a problem that everyone struggling with usually some way or form . For those of us on this side, but it tends to be more problematic than others. An effective way to reduce anxiety is to engage in regular exercise. A study by Landers and Pettruzello examined the results of seven narrative reviews that have taken place between 1960 and 1991. Of these twenty-seven opinions " ... 81 % of them , the authors concluded that physical activity / fitness to reduce anxiety was obtained after one year and there was little or no conflicting data presented in these comments " ( Landers , 1997. ) In other cases found Pettruzello Landers and that the results in favor of reducing the effects of exercise were afraid . None of the cases studied was a non-existent relationship .
For me personally the year has brought about many positive effects. The most obvious effect is that of course reduces anxiety . I have made several other steps to reduce my life to fear , so I do not really know to what extent the exercise helped , although I have no doubt it helped. In addition to reducing anxiety , regular exercise promotes a positive mood , increased self- confidence and self -esteem. I found the key to the exercise is the exercise enjoyable, if a little is good, no one will engage in more often, and it will not cause additional anxiety.

My current exercise routine is to play basketball for thirty minutes three times a week and lift weights at least once , maybe twice if I have time. I also run a little and tend to increase the amount of exercise that the amount of time that I raised at the end of the semester the university. Vary the exercise of the individual routines is the key to understanding all of this , and what you want to get involved in this on a consistent basis . Sometimes brings a friend with , take a class or group practice may motivating for those who attract trouble themselves , and also have, it's also the perfect time to get out of the shell a conscious and friends!

How much exercise is recommended? Most experts recommend four to five hours per day. Just kidding ! According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC ), adults should

get about 2 hours and 30 minutes (150 minutes) of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (ie , brisk walking ) every week and [ engaging in] muscle strengthening activities on 2 or more days to work during the week , all the major muscle groups (legs, hips , back, abdomen, chest, shoulders and arms) . (2008) . Adults can use this number to 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity (ie , jogging or running ) and two muscle-strengthening activities that work all major muscle groups change .

Alternatively, adults can mix - and solve the moderate or vigorous activity , combined with the recommended value of building muscle. For maximum effectiveness , adults should engage in moderate-intensity exercise five hours or two and a half of vigorous -intensity aerobic activity , combined with the recommendation of muscle building hours . Finally, the CDC that exercise is effective as it is used for at least ten minutes per session .

The positive effects of exercise clearly outweigh the potential negative disadvantage

Injury. The most important point to keep in mind , a way to stay motivated and engaged in regular exercise that you like! What are you waiting for? Get out and exercise!
