“Say Goodbye to Stress and Anxiety: The Transformative Power of Exercise for Mental Well-being”

Do you feel that stress and anxiety control your life? Do the pessimistic thoughts that swirl around in your head cause you to lose perspective on what you can and should be doing about them? The solution could be right there in front of you — available at any minute of any day. It might seem too good to be true — doesn’t a solution for stress and anxiety always come with a huge price tag? Quite the opposite. It is a totally cost-free resource available from the moment we wake up and the moment we go to bed. But if I were you, and suffered from depression and anxiety, I would jump at the opportunity. What could this wonder cure be? Exercise.

But now you’re probably thinking: ‘Ok, exercise? Really? How exactly is setting up the treadmill and sweating my toosh off going to help me sit with my feelings? I mean, come on, I have anxiety and the last thing I feel like doing is getting into shape.’ Fair point. And I hear you. But what if I told you that a world of mental health could be yours if you just managed to clock in 30 minutes of movement (any kind of movement! dancing counts too!), every single day of your life?

The sad truth is that stress and anxiety are endemic to the modern world: tight deadlines, family pressures and financial worries all contribute. So it’s little wonder that there is a litany of quick-fix solutions to ease these feelings, but many just provide temporary respite at best.

But what if you knew that there was a completely medication-free, talking-couch-free way to beat stress and nervousness? Something that, inarguably, works? There is, and it’s called exercise. It is, in fact, the most potent treatment we have for our mental lives.

What’s more, as your muscles work, you pump out endorphins, serotonin and dopamine — all mood-enhancing and stress-reducing chemicals. Your brain is, in effect, getting a medicated boost of happiness.

However, it’s not just the druglike chemical effects of exercise in the brain that help to promote mental wellbeing. Regular physical activity acts, at least in part, like a mental reset button to the hyper-amped brain that is normally fired in overdrive. Exercise can also serve as a welcome distraction from the negative thoughts that bombard us each day, not to mention the many worrisome things that sometimes keep us from sleeping properly. Exercise places the mind where it should be, in the present moment. And gaining value from this moment makes us less likely to let go of those pleasurable feelings that come with losing ourselves in the unique motion of a gymnast’s handsprings, a runner’s stride or the exuberant twist of a victorious shot putter.

And the great news, perhaps the best news of all, is that you don’t have to be a fitness nut or work out for hours to benefit your mental health. Simply setting aside 30 minutes every day to moderate exercise — walking around the block, riding your bike, practicing yoga or whichever of those light exercises you like best — can be a powerful way to keep your head feeling great.

And now, after all that, you are still thinking to yourself: there’s no way that people like me can start exercising. Now you have to find the time, and you have to find the motivation; it has to be for a good cause, but you actually have to like it. Hey, maybe you won’t even like it! Well, it’s much easier.

You don’t have to carve out big chunks of time from your day or exert yourself to the point of collapse to get benefits. Start with short bursts of movement and work your way up to longer, more vigorous workouts as you’re able. And, of course, some movement is always better than none. A few minutes of activity can boost your mood and ward off stress and anxiety.

Warm-Up (2 minutes):

Arm Circles: Stand with feet hip-distance apart and arms straight out to your sides. Start making small arm circles and gradually increase the size of the circles. Go for 1 minute.

High Knees: Stay in one spot and raise your knees up toward your chest alternately as fast as you can for 1 minute, pumping your arms to increase the intensity.

Main Workout (7 minutes):

Squat Jumps (1 minute): Squat back and jump up for 1 minute. Push-Ups (1 min): Do 1 minute of push-ups with good form, so your body remains a straight line from head to heels.

Lunges with Twist (1 minute): Begin by stepping forward with your right foot into a lunge, and then twist your torso towards the right. Bring yourself back to the center, and repeat this on the left. For 1 minute, alternate sides.

Bicycle Crunches: 1 minute LIESO, knees bent, hands behind head. Alternate left elbow to right knee, while straightening left leg and then switching sides. 1 minute.

Plank Hold (1 minute): Get into the plank position with your hands (palms flat on the floor, fingers pointing forward, shoulder-width apart), with your body in a straight line from your shoulders to the top of your thighs and your toes — your top line. The rest of your body should be stiff, with your core and glutes engaged. Hold this position for 1 minute.

Mountain Climbers (1 M): Start in a plank position, moving your knees forward one at a time as if you’re running to bring them towards your chest, while keeping your core firm and hips steady for 1 minute.

Cooldown (1 minute):

Forward Fold: Stand with feet hip-width apart and bend from your hips, reaching your fingertips towards your toes. Hang there for 30 seconds to stretch your hamstrings and lower back.

Child’s Pose:

On all fours on the floor, knees hip-width apart and toes touching, sit back on your heels and lean forward, stretching out your arms and dropping your chest onto the floor. Hold for 30 seconds and you’ll feel your back and shoulders begin to open out.
