It’s important to remember that our bodies can’t always tell the difference between a physical stressor and a mental one. Exercise is important for health and well being, doing the right amount, at the right intensity and at the right time are key. Exercise is an amazing outlet, but it is also a physical stressor and sometimes forcing intense workouts when you have a crazy schedule can just add to stress levels.
