Exercise helps to reduce stress and improve someone’s over all moods. According to Otto and Smits (2011) exercise can be as powerful as antidepressant medications in treating depression, and, more broadly, regular exercise is linked with decreased anxiety, stress, and hostility (p. 7). There are several reasons how exercise reduces stress. By exercising daily we allow our bodies to adapt to different demands and stressors, because exercise is a stressor.

It also stimulates the production of endorphins, chemicals in the brain that are the body’s natural painkillers and mood elevators. Endorphins are responsible for the feelings of relaxation and optimism (Exercise to Relax, 2011).
