Light exercise is not particularly good for stress relief, says Sam. Or is it?

So now that I can’t do any intense cardio or lift very heavy weights,  I’m realizing how much I rely on exercise for stress relief.

That kind of exercise burns off steam and makes me feel good.

Shocker: I’m finding moderate cardio and lighter,  more rep, lifting,  not so good for stress relief.

But maybe I’m not doing the right kind of light exercise?

Here’s what I read:

I swapped intense exercise for this morning routine from the Internet’s favourite yoga instructor and I felt less stressed immediately

And here’s what they recommend,  Yoga with Adriene! My old pandemic friend.

Maybe I’ll revisit Yoga with Adriene even though there are now lots of yoga poses I can’t do.

I’m also enjoying Saturday morning aquayoga at my fancy gym.
