Work Stress Equals Fewer Workouts - ACE

An older story worth a relook

Fifty-four employees were classified as having a high-stress job, which was defined as having high demands and little control over their work.

Not only did these workers express lower self-confidence in their ability to stick to an exercise program, they also exercised less frequently than did their colleagues.

Furthermore, the employees who said they intended to exercise but were unsuccessful were most likely to cite work demands as the reason they didn't make it to the gym.
