Sweating Out the Stress: Tame Anxiety With Exercise


Listen Later

Can moving your body be one of the most effective ways to manage anxiety? In this episode, we explore decades of research on exercise and why it works: reducing muscle tension, shifting brain chemistry, and giving your mind a break from anxious loops. You’ll learn six key reasons exercise supports mental health, plus hear a personal journey of overcoming anxiety and a busy schedule to build a consistent routine.
We also share simple ways to integrate movement into daily life (like a grounding morning walk) so you can start your day feeling calmer, clearer, and more in control.
