Sometimes I feel stress coming in and grabbing me. I would just try to sleep it off, but it builds up. Recently I purchased my first bicycle and began to bike to work. I am just loving it! Also, the stress is coming off!

Hi Michael,
May I add another exercise that uses 80% of your muscles? It leaves me tired but relaxed and healthy.
Nordic Walking.
