From Sofa to 5K – Reduced Stress

In general, exercise is an important part of leading a healthy and fit life. It doesn’t matter if you’re thin or fat or not in a good shape, the truth is, your body needs exercise to function properly. As told in earlier webinars, running can help you burn calories, decrease your blood pressure and it even helps with slowing down the aging process. Well, these are just the physical benefits of running.
But there’s more to running than just the physical benefits. As you probably figured, there are some psychological benefits for runners as well.

Most of us tend to live a stressful and a hectic business life routine. Which affects not just our physical but also our mental health. In studies, regular runners generally say they live a happier, more stress-free life than their non-running friends.

In this ‘From Sofa to 5K’ webinar on ‘Reduced Stress’ we discuss:

• What happens when you complete a run successfully?
• How running helps you in reducing stress?
• How running can change your frame of mind?
• What is runner’s high?
• How Serotonin levels give you a level of calmness?
• How the 5 hormones released while running affect you and help you in reducing stress.

The 5 hormones are:

1. Endorphin
2. Dopamine
3. Estrogen
4. Testosterone
5. Serotonin
