TwitThisThe best exercises for stress relief are activities that are rhythmic, mindless, and steady, and last for at least 20 minutes. Although aerobic exercises such as walking, running, swimming, rowing, and cycling are ideal, any physical activity will help; choose the ones you most enjoy.
Most people report feeling refreshed, calm, and at peace after a workout. Although the mechanism isn't entirely clear, exercise seems to trigger the release of chemicals in the brain (endorphins and other neurotransmitters) that control mood. These chemicals interrupt the stress-producing cycle of anxious thoughts. They are thought also to decrease the activity of the sensory receptors in muscles that cause them to contract, thereby easing the tension that can lead to muscle soreness and fatigue.
