Summary: People say you can lesson the affects 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 affect your health? Yes. 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. While most of us can work out for longer periods it is not necessarily healthy for everyone to do that. Exercising for roughly 10-20 minutes a day can be a huge help for your body and stress.
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: Exercise is very important. I consider myself very physical. I would suggest that we take heed to this article because anything done in abundance can be harmful to our body. It is important to keep our stress levels down because we stay healthier. I believe everyone should exercise throughout the week. It is important for everyone to know and understand what their body can handle and work out according to that.
