The holidays can be a particularly stressful time, and all of that anxiety can get in the way of your plan to get ripped. Recently, Fox News Latino reported on the reason why stress can cause you to pack on the pounds, and offered some effective ways to beat it.
The news source suggests trying to fit in a workout after a stressful situation has occurred, but before the damaging effects of anxiety wreak havoc on your body.
"Stress increases cortisol level. If this hormone is not utilized, the metabolism decreases while fat storage is promoted," said human behavior expert and life coach Patrick Wanis, quoted by the news source.
Fitness magazine recommends yoga as a good way to reduce the effects of stress, the exercise combines muscle-strengthening poses with relaxed breathing to calm you down. If that's not your style, then just try some good old fashioned resistance training that can help you build muscle, get ripped and workout some of that anxiety - along with those holiday treats.
