Stress Management is a hot topic these days.
We still talk about training in this episode, but we’re focused more on the impact of training and less on a specific type of training.
Eustress is defined as positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being. Strength Training is typically eustress. When you’re training in a way that’s working well for you it will result in a positive adaptation.
We dive more into how this works and also go over the following:
- What about negative stress?
- How does negative stress impact your training?
- What action can you take to decrease negative stress?
- Is exercise the answer or could it be part of the issue?
Trying to figure out how to manage your stress can be a slippery slope. Sometimes you’re trying to find ways to chill out, but end up adding so many de-stressing techniques (including exercise) that you add more to your overburdened schedule.
Hopefully you’ll find some wise advice in this episode to help you improve the way you look at stress management.
