Ever stood on top of your desk at work and yelled "AGGHHHHHHH!!!"? You have? Ok then, maybe there's a little too much stress in your life.
Stress can play a rather large role in many diseases so it's time to nip it in the bud. Pronto!!

How? Exercise!

Bend, stretch and walk all the stress out of your body. You don't need to buy a gym membership or swipe the credit card at the local fitness supplies store; simply taking a 30 minute walk a day can decrease your stress levels enormously.

When you go to work, why not park in the car spot that's the longest distance away from your building (provided it's safe to do so)? Take the stairs instead of the lift. Catch the train and walk to the station. It's better for the environment and better for your heart.

If you have a stationary bike at home and you like watching TV, drag it into the living room and watch while you pedal. Jump down and pump out some push ups in the ad breaks.

If there is a pool in your area - You could try swimming some laps before work, during your lunch break or after work.

Exercise will reduce your stress levels, and you don't have to transform into a gym junkie overnight to feel the benefits.... It's all about the incidentals.

Why not start today by taking a quick walk around the block tonight when you get home....walking really does wonders for both your fitness and your mind. In the interest of both motivation and safety - if you can find a "walking buddy" - even better!

Exercise in any form, will help to reduce your stress levels and keep you from losing the plot at work and saying something that you might regret later.

Now, go get 'em!
