Summary: People say you can lesson the effects of stress on your body by performing fourteen minutes of physical, vigorous activity a day. But you must be careful to not over work your body or else you can bring stress to it. Exercise can help by lowering your blood sugar, blood pressure, weight, your cholesterol, and feelings of depression. Can working out intensely longer than you should go affect your health? Stress can be added to your body if you exercise for too long. Your immune system can get weaker when stress is upon you. The release of cortisol and adrenaline from your adrenal gland is triggered by stress. Be careful to not over-train yourself because it will then produce more stress hormones. You don’t have to work out for an hour. You just need to exercise for roughly 10-20 minutes a day.
Critique: I find this quite interesting and ironic. I didn’t think that working out a long period of time could put physical and mental stress on your body. I always thought working out longer would result in a healthier body. I’m amazed you can exercise for 10-20 minutes and still have a healthy workout without having stress come upon you.
Impact: If anybody reads this article, they can see how long they should workout so that stress won’t come upon them mentally and physically. To help prevent stress, I would read other articles besides this one so they can get the right information on how long they need to workout so that stress won’t come upon them.
