Is it Stress or is It a Challenge?
Stress is our response to the situation. When we feel feel out of control and cannot manage a situation we
get stressed. When we feel in control and can manage a situation we
view it as more of a challenge: as positive stress to help us overcome the problem.
How Personal Training Helps Stress
Personal Training will help you manage your stress and turn it
into a challenge. It will not take away the situations in your life that are causing
you stress – but it will help you cope with them better, looking
upon them as something that you can cope with, rather than be fearful of - why - due to the extra confidence the session will give - the surge of testosterone as well as the nice time you'll have had. It is a time to escape into the lovely world of just yourself and I exercising in a naturalistic way!

Turning A Stressful Situation into a Challenge
There are steps you can take to help turn situations away from
being stressful, and into a challenge instead. This involves
training your body, your mind or both. Training that will be individual and personal to you.
How Your Body Can Help You Manage Stress
- Diet - the foods you eat control your hormone levels that have influence upon how you handle certain situations.
- Exercise can help you feel more positive and in control - to help you cope with stress more easily and also counter the effects of stress upon your body (such as chronic inflammation which is implicated in some chronic health conditions).
- Certain exercise movements are associated with increased testosterone levels and can also boost your confidence.
- Improving your sleep quality - When you're tired you may feel unable to cope with certain situations as well, and can easily
feel overloaded with everyday tasks that can lead to feelings of
stress.A personal training session will be stimulating for both your body and mind, but then generally is this followed by a deep relaxation which can help sleep. If not just inform me - as I have other tips we can add in depending upon your personality.
How Your Mind Can Help
Training your mind to recognise physical symptoms of stress in your body (such as raised heart rate) - as support form your body to help with a challenging task ahead - rather than allowing this response to add to any panic, can help you in certain situations.
Learning to take comfort from this, as your body's way of supporting you is possible, and gets easier to do with practice. If you have to run away from an attacker you'll be glad of this response , however if you do not have to run from an attacker – mindfulness can help – telling your body it is all okay and everything is in control.
All we need to do is know when this is not needed - to employ a range of different techniques that my coaching can show you to help reduce this response. Recognise it, deal with it and stop it accumulating and going on to affect your health. We can find a way that works for you. A fun way possibly too!
