How often do you work out each week? I’ve been hitting it about 3-4 times lately, and honestly, it’s been such a lifesaver for dealing with work stress. There’s something about getting moving that just clears my head. Does working out help you relax too? Curious to hear what kind of workouts or activities you’re into and if you’ve noticed it makes a difference.

Working out is my go-to for coping with basically everything. I'm happily single and childfree which means finding the time isn't an issue. I go hiking or cycling whenever I can and get at least 3 gym workouts in each week.

I've been on a 5 days a week kick for a few months now. I feel like a whole new person. I've lost weight and have SO much more energy now. Probably because I'm physically drained by the end of the day and am able to get to bed at a reasonable hour, instead of staying up until 1 or 2 AM regularly.

I’m at 0 times a week right now. Did walk a lot to see fireworks last weekend if that counts? I used to have a good schedule, would stop at least twice a week at the gym, and then good hike or walk on the weekends. Definitely miss it, but once I’m out of the habit, hard to get back in it.

I make it a point to get a lot of walking in, I usually do two miles a day at minimum. I agree that moving around is very helpful. And just having the time to myself is great, I can listen to whatever I want or just spend the time thinking. If I can't get my walk in I feel sedentary and out of sorts.

I lift weights (a combination of Olympic weightlifting and bodybuilding style training) 3 or 4 days a week and walk around 4 miles every day (accumulated throughout the day, not usually all at once cause ain’t nobody got time for that). Both are non-negotiable. I do my lifting at the crack of dawn before work so I can’t convince myself I don’t have time after work, and the walking gets done on breaks and during lunch. This routine is the only reason I am still employed. The lifting in the morning lets me get all the aggression out before I have to be nice to people all day, and the walks interspersed throughout the day keep me from getting overstimulated. And this way I still have time when I get home in the evening to unplug with a book or a tv show, or whatever else I want to do. I don’t have kids though and I know that makes all this way easier. And I also have a husband who is all for me doing whatever I want whenever I want, which also makes it easier.

Five days a week. Then two days a week I fast on my rest days. Both help with my mental health and stress.

Probably 3-4 times for me as well! I make sure I go on walks daily no matter the weather too as just getting outside helps my mental state so much!

6 days a week currently. In the past it's been 5 days, or even 7 days a week. I work out before work- it keeps me sane! Then I run 5-10k once or twice a week after work as well, and do a fitness class once a week so 7-9 workout sessions a week. I also walk about 3 miles home from work every day. I'm addicted to the endorphins! I can't say I always love it during the workout or run, but I love the feeling after. Unfortunately there's not much time left esp. during the week as I don't get out of week early (also why I'm religious about working out before work)

7x per week. It’s literally my therapy.
