Did you know you release stress hormones when you exercise? It’s because your body is in a state of physical stress, especially if you’re new to exercise or you’re not an adrenaline junkie. It's the reason why you feel so gross during a workout.
The good news is, regular exercise trains your body to cope better with these stress hormones, which can help build your resiliency to other forms of stress.
Gab and Sarah explain why exercise is a useful tool for looking after your mental health. Plus, Sarah has a new hobby and Gab has another weekly challenge for you.
