Walking and Well.....

I have only just found out the truth in exercise being a stress reducer.

During the spring I started a "diet", and well, while I was losing weight, the toning still needed some work. I am not the person that hits the gym at 6 in the morning, nor do I enjoy a brisk evening run. If I have to leave the house, I won't to it.

So, that left me looking for a good home DVD workout. I found Leslie Sansone's DVD Home Walking videos. Nothing fancy, no dance moves, highly motivational.....I got my hands on at least 4 different ones!

Then I got to work. Literally. After a few months, weight is still slowly coming off, toning is happening, and... less stress!

I didn't really see the stress thing until I couldn't workout for 10 days or so. The change was amazing, enough that I now hardly allow my self to miss a workout.

If someone is under stress----I would strongly suggest exercise before anything else, as it has helped with both stress and also with an mild on going bout of depression.

Jill, I appreciate this site, aimed at managing stress - with a business at home, family, and full college load, you have some great tips here for reducing stress!

Thanks~
