Hello viewers, today I will be giving the example exercises for Thursday-Sunday later in the blog but first I want to talk a little more about how exercise is a great health benefit for stress relief and also anxiety. Science has provided some evidence that physically active people have lower rates of anxiety and depression than sedentary people. Exercise may improve mental health by helping the brain cope better with stress. In one study, researchers found that those who got regular vigorous exercise were 25 percent less likely to develop depression or an anxiety disorder over the next five years (america) .This information was discovered by the American Depression and Anxiety Association. Not only do people who have been exercising regularly have benefits physically and health but also have a better mental fitness. People who exercise usually have better alertness and cognition which in turn helps people lower their stressors. This blogs example exercises are for Thurs-Sun and a couple of the days are off days and remember to form the exercises to your liking these are just examples.

Friday Cardio or OFF DAY- I prefer to do cardio on Friday so a 20 mins walk/run or a couple games of basketball or tennis and a mixture of the lifts done earlier in the week(pick workouts that you feel did the most for you or what part of the body you want to work on)
Saturday off day or cardio/mix if Friday was off– See above for example if you took Friday as an off day
Sunday-OFF DAY (Sunday is always my off day no matter what)
