People who exercise and move on a regular basis tend to have lower stress levels and tend to cope with the stress that they are experiencing a lot better. The routine that I’ll be sharing with you about today is a shift that I made from working out three-ish times per week to going to the gym six days per week. Exercise is one of the best ways to ease yourself out of go mode and to give yourself a place to redirect all of that energy that would kind of just spiral around in your brain like an angsty hamster if you didn't have somewhere to put it.

In today’s episode, I’ll be talking about my own workout resistance, the benefits of pairing structure with flexibility, and why I might encourage you to consider playing around with what alternate workout routines might look like for you.

Our Change Academy theme this month is about how to become a frequent exerciser. So, if you want to learn how to get to the gym on a regular basis, and if you want to learn the tools that I am using, that I have used in the past three weeks to go from a spotty three days at the gym to a consistent six days at the gym every week, join us Change Academy this month!

Trigger Warning: If you are a person who’s really struggling with working out too much, over-exercising, not taking rest days, please go ahead and skip this episode as it may be triggering for you.
