]]>Working out under a lot of pressure can be extremely anxiety-inducing, but it’s not always the cause of stress in your life. Before making any major changes to your workout routine, try to figure out if there are any other external factors that are making you feel this way.
If your workouts end up being the main source of bad vibes in your life, try to stop putting so much pressure on yourself. It’s difficult to enjoy your fitness routine if you’re too focused on achieving unrealistic goals because staying active and healthy should be your main priority.
After shifting your workout goals, it’s time to find the routine that you actually enjoy. If your current workouts aren’t doing you any good, start looking for a fitness program that does. Dance cardio, yoga, and running are extremely popular with people who don’t enjoy traditional gyms.

]]>A weighted blanket is just as it sounds; a blanket that has small weights in them that make them heavy, usually about 20 pounds or so, or they can be made from a material that’s so heavy that it ends up being the same amount of weight.
The way that it works is through deep touch pressure therapy, where if you put just the right amount of pressure on the body, the brain will release serotonin. This chemical makes you feel more happy and relaxed, which can help in a myriad of ways.
A weighted blanket is able to do that because it presses down just enough onto your body when you’re under it to release more serotonin, but it’s not so heavy that you can’t bear the weight.
So, if you’re someone who struggles with stress, anxiety, or other things that are making you distressed, perhaps a weighted blanket can be a tool you use to overcome your struggles.
