Let’s be honest, living in 2019 can be very stressful. I know I can be very stressed, and I’ve learned to deal with it in a productive and effective way: working out. Instead of keeping it all to myself, I decided to share how I feel at the moment. I figured there must be more people who feel the same. I know everyone has their own way of dealing with stress, but this abs and glutes workout video might help you to actually do it.
I used to stuff my face with all the tasty food I could find to deal with stress. I guess you already know that doesn’t end well. So do I and that’s why I went to the gym on a weekday during the day, which I usually never do. My body and my mind needed to relieve stress in a healthy way and working out is the best way for me to do that. I hope that you watch this video and feel motivated afterwards to deal with your stress in a healthy way too.
It doesn’t matter what you do, as long as it’s effective and productive. Maybe you’ll walk the dog or talk to a good friend. In case you also want to work out I’ve filmed my workout for you. Use the same exercises or just use a few in your own routine, it’s up to you! Just make sure the workout you follow fits your goal and needs. Ask a trainer for help and be responsible in the gym, safety first!
