♠️Stress Affects Gains♠️
▪️It’s known in the fitness industry that regular and consistent exercise can help mitigate the negative effects of everyday stress.
▪️Going to the gym regularly can make the brain more resilient to stress and reduce some of the risk factors between stress and cardiovascular disease, according to scientific research.
▪️However, stress can overwhelm your system and also take a toll on your workouts. If you’ve ever tried to do a light workout during a particularly stressful week at work or school and felt weak, sick, or just flat-out terrible, then it’s not that you’ve suddenly lost all your strength.
▪️Everyday stress can limit your perceived strength at the gym, and limit how well your muscles recover after a workout
