Use Exercise To Combat Irritability

Exercise is a great way to combat irritability.

Being irritated is frustrating because you can’t sit still or concentrate and you don’t know what to do with yourself. I don’t go to the gym regularly, but whenever I get irritated I do a little workout at home. It is very calming.

You can lift weights, but from my experience, aerobic exercise is the most therapeutic.
If you aren’t a member at a gym, here are some exercises you can do at home:

1. Jogging.
2. Push-ups.
3. Sit-ups.
4. Chin-ups.
5. Hitting a punching bag or shadow boxing.
6. Squats.
7. Lunges
8. Leg raises

For a more aerobic workout, go from exercise to exercise without resting in between.
