When looking for a great way to relieve stress and reduce anxiety consider starting a regular exercise program. Exercise benefits the muscles and bones, but it’s also just as beneficial for the mind and spirit. It makes a great distraction too when you’re feeling ongoing anxiety. Panic attacks are actually a fight-or-flight response that causes uncomfortable and frightening physical responses to mental anguish. It only makes sense to respond to physical issues with physical activities.
Anxiety is a creator of tension in the body and mind. When you exercise, endorphins are released which are natural mood enhancers. You also improve your blood blow to the brain, relieve muscular and skeletal tensions and improve your digestive system. But doing regular exercise will also help you sleep, make you feel better about yourself and improve your memory.

In other words, it’s a great outlet for you anxiety. I exercise regularly to keep my anxiety levels low and have even developed some exercises I can do quickly and quietly at work when the stress becomes too great.
