Personally, one reason I love to lift weights is because it allows me to relieve some pent up anger and stress. I take my frustration out on the iron. I notice when I wasn't lifting I was much more easily irritated than I am now. This led me into doing some research on stress and weightlifting. And if the belief that working out served as a stress reliever. What I found was shocking. Working out helps not only your body but your mentality an immense amount. And yes, it does in fact relieve stress here's a great article that explains what tolls exercise can have on your mind, endorphins, etc. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/stress-management/in-depth/exercise-and-stress/art-20044469. So always remember if your feeling a little stressed at work or school don't be afraid to take a break and hit the weights, you'll come back feeling refreshed and ready to go!
