Everyone has some sort of stress in their life. It could come from work, social issues, family, financial, health and all different areas I may not have touched on. But we all have some stress in our lives, some more than others. Plus we all deal with stress in a different manner.
Working out, either a cardio or weight lifting reduces stress a lot. My question is, when you work out knowing there is stress in your life, do you use it as a focal point in order to get rid of the stress or do you just focus on the workout itself so that you forget about the stress.
I have done both depending on the situation. Sometimes I am mad and take my workout on this issue and I get a super intense workout. Other situations make me totally forget what I am stressed about and working out gives me a sense of calm. Let me know how you deal with this issue of stress and your workout.
