A study has found that short periods of exhaustive exercise can reduce stress. After a study where participants performed a single all-court sprint, researchers found that each participant experienced less tension, anger, and confusion about 75 minutes afterwards. Scientists claimed sprinting fatigues the mind, resetting it to its baseline. You can reap the benefits of sprinting just by a single 30 second spring. So next time your need to clear your head or feeling irrate, just do a quick sprint.

5 easy ways to take off 5 pounds this month
Posted in Cardio | Comment »There was an interesting article in Men’s Fitness on 5 ways that you can shed 5 pounds in 30 days. It ranges from switching beers, having more sex, and hitting the batting cages. See how a few simple adjustments can show up on the scale.
1.) Ditch regular beer and switch to Guinness. Guiness suprisingly has few calories than most beers (including light beers) with only 89 calories per 12-ounce beer, brilliant! Calories saved by drinking Guinness all month: 816.
2.) Take a hike. 4 three-hour hikes this month totals up to 6,864 calories.
3.) Work on your swing at the batting cages. You’ll burn 2,400 calories by spending some time at the batting cages twice a week this month.
4.) Want more sex in your relationship? Tell your woman it’s a great way to burn extra calories. By having sex 3 more times a week for a month will burn 3,660 calories. Why would you want to run on the treadmill when this alternative is available?
5.) Ride your bike. If you ride your bike 5 hours this month at 20 miles per hour you’ll burn 4,571 calories.
