Establishing a regular regimen of exercise is an important component of managing stress.

Over the past two years, I have taken up Kettle Bell training at my local gym. It is a great way to strengthen your core muscles. As you strengthen your core muscles, the alignment of your spine will improve, which decreases back pain without drugs or expensive therapy.

Stress buildup can manifest itself in muscle knots in the neck and back. Stretching and toning from Kettlebell exercises go a long way towards mitigating the effects of the muscle knots.
