Exercise is one of the quickest, easiest, and most effective ways to reduce anxiety, stress and depression. Exercise every day for a minimum of 30 minutes. Don’t ignore exercise, it is absolutely a key to recovering from anxiety. It has been medically shown that mental well-being improves in direct correlation to level of physical activity, which is great news for anxiety sufferers. Physical activity also reduces the incidence of anxiety, panic attack and phobia.

The greatest relief from anxiety symptoms is felt during the first few hours immediately following moderate to intense exercise. Endorphins, the chemicals produced by exercise, make you feel absolutely fantastic; they are the bodies “feel good” chemicals. A 10 minute run will help to clear your mind, brighten up your perspective on life, and help you assess things from a more optimistic and even a more rational and centered perspective.

Long story short, if you exercise regularly, you will feel a thousand times happier and healthier mentally and physically, your anxiety will reduce in direct correlation to the amount of exercise you do, and everyday activities will be a great deal easier for you to do because your body will be stronger, more resilient, and less prone to everyday aches and pains, consequently you will be better able to cope with the stresses and strains of everyday life; talk about positive reinforcement!

Other than just aerobic exercise, you will benefit greatly from resistance exercises, to improve strength, reduce recovery time, improve blood circulation, and release even more endorphins than aerobic exercise alone. So, if you suffer from anxiety, or any mental condition, make a habit of regular vigorous exercise. If you’re not 100% certain that you are able to engage in vigorous exercise, for whatever reason, consult your healthcare professional before attempting any form of exercise, to find out what is safe for you. If you are not able to do vigorous exercise then Yoga or Tai Chi might be a more suitable option for you. For those who practice yoga or Tai Chi the combination of meditation, controlled breathing exercises, relaxation and flexibility work-outs, improves harmonization of body and mind and makes them feel fitter, healthier, more energetic, and happier and reduces anxiety.

Taking long walks on a regular basis is also great for mental and physical health and well-being. Such as a quiet stroll through a forest or along a beach, the scenery and environment increase endorphin release as you unwind. Although, if you are able to, then strenuous and enduring exercise does provide the greatest relief from anxiety. Have you ever heard, for example, of the blissful feeling that runners get after a long run?

This is known as “runner’s high”, and its a fact. Its because of endorphins released into the bloodstream, these the bodies feel good chemicals, make runners feel great. Now you know why they run so much. Its this feeling of bliss that makes them keep running, and keeps them feeling super! Exercise is probably one of the most effective, most accessible, most natural and safe cures available for anxiety. After checking with your healthcare professional, I recommend you exercise regularly to see your anxiety, stress, fear, panic, or phobia out of your life for good!
