Stress – Effects And Ways To Stop It

Stress is defined as “a specific response by the body to a stimulus that disturbs or interferes with the normal physiological equilibrium of an organism.” Stress effects millions of people every day. It can be caused by physical, mental, or emotional stimuli. Physical stress is caused by things such as the burden of recent injury or illness that makes performing normal, daily activities extremely difficult or performing hard labor that is physically taxing and that demands more of you than you are physically able to do. Mental stress is a kind of stress that is often experienced by students who are over burdened by their course load or on the job when you under pressure to meet a deadline or to do extensive research. Perhaps the most common stress is emotional. This is caused by the death or illness of a loved one, a horrible boss, negative love relationship, the depression associated with a loss or illness, divorce, or a wide number of other factors.

Spin Workout – Yes It Can Be Fun

Like all cardio exercises that are good for you, a spin workout on a stationary bike can be very boring. Here’s a good 60-minute spin workout that will mix things up to keep you motivated. Go at your pace for as long as you can, building up to the full 60-minute workout. My gym has bikes that go up to level 25. For me, a 100% climb is level 20 for my spin workout which I can keep at 55-65 rpm. Adjust to your levels. For sprinting, I consider not being able to see the rpm number as 100%. Adjust to yours. When I’m done with this workout I’m soaked and have finished 24 oz of water. I work out in the mornings. If you do the same, get in a good frame of mind before hitting the gym. I suggest watching this youtube video of Will Smith talking about “Law Of Attraction” it’s awesome – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5nVqeVhgQE I highly recommend morning workouts, great way to start your day. Don’t have the time? Set your alarm 90 minutes earlier right now. Problem solved. You will become much more productive throughout the day. Trust me, you just Got2ManUp! Here’s the workout broken down by song. [Read more…] about Spin Workout That Will Make You Sweat
