(Episode 12) Decoding Stress: Essential Insights for Military Spouse - Part 2
Welcome back to our 3-part series on stress and its impact on health and fitness for military spouses. In Part 1, we explored the basics of stress and its effects.
Today, in Part 2, we delve into how chronic stress can influence your health and fitness journey.
Explanation of "Hormesis" & How it Improves Fitness Results
Discover the concept of hormesis, where controlled stress, like exercise, can benefit your body. Learn how exercise triggers adaptive responses, enhancing muscle
growth, endurance, and mental resilience to stress.
5 Ways Chronic Stress can Negatively Impact Health and Fitness Results
Explore how chronic stress can hinder your fitness goals. Elevated cortisol levels from chronic stress can increase body fat, disrupt sleep quality, weaken the immune system, decrease motivation, and lead to poor nutritional choices.
Reduced Immune Function
Understand how chronic stress disrupts hormesis, impairing the body's ability to adapt and grow stronger from stressors like exercise. Discover how managing chronic stress is crucial for maximizing the benefits of exercise.
Thank you for joining us for Part 2. Remember, managing chronic stress is essential for optimizing your fitness progress.
Stay tuned for Part 3, where we'll discuss practical techniques to reduce chronic stress and enhance your health and fitness journey.
