Exercise More During a Crisis: When in a crisis-like situation, we tend to work more - a lot more. The constant stress of long hours, difficult decisions, and uncertain outcomes can take their toll. We get worn down more quickly. We have less patience when we need it. We can burn out fast. One way to counter these effects is to exercise more. Science has proven the value of exercise to both improve our health and our mental acuity. Taking walks, working out, or a few push-ups and sit-ups all add to our ability to conquer our stress and travel through our crisis moments.
