High cortisol levels have been shown to break down muscle mass and also impair body's ability to burn fat as efficiently. So you might think you need to take a break from exercise but this isn't the answer and it could make things worse. It's about finding movement that works for you. Don't underestimate the power of walking either. I'll be guiding you through a full body dumbbell workout that will work your muscles without causing big cortisol spikes. Please remember I can't give advice for every individual so If you have any doubts consult your healthcare provider.
Thank you very much for this explanation. People like me with a very active nervous system and a very sensitive body greatly appreciate exercise. It calms the body and calms nervous activity, as well as the brain. Exercise with weights helps me a lot. Walking also helps me, but exercising with weights more so. So the work you do uploading videos is an invaluable help. You don't know the well-being for the life you produce.This is my experience but every body is different. I hope each of us finds our way to feel good☺️ Thank you very much Olivia. Wish you all the best❤❤❤
It's great to see you doing a beginner dumbbell workout, since they are the most essential workouts for women. Hopefully, it encourages more to do them regularly. I have been doing your dumbbell workouts for a long time, but I will definitely be doing this beginner one soon. They are the best. Thank you very much.
As a very high cortisol and stress sufferer I really thank you for this 🥹🙏🏽🙌🏽 And please more and if it’s not too much to ask a playlist of cortisol friendly withouts 🙏🏽
Another super duper dumbbell workout! I loved the simple but effective moves and your voice over was perfect in guiding me! Looking forward to many more!!! Many thanks and stay blessed 😊❤x
I loved it ! It went straight to my favourites and I will go back to it on a regular basis as it is just what I need. Thank you Olivia ! Your comments helped as well. I realised I was doing one or two moves the wrong way and it allowed me to correct my position. So double thanks to you !!
thank you very much olivia! this routine was great! i am so glad i found your YT Channel. I love your content and the understanding you have about cortisol. thanks!
I decided to do this today to help get my stamina back to where it wad. I wasn't working out as much as before, and I noticed last week that my stamina was way down and I was struggling through any workout. This was so good, and I feel amazing now. Thank you for an incredible workout ❤❤❤!!!!@
How does the weight of the dumbbells impact the effectiveness of this workout? Does it mean a lighter dumbbell will help me burn less? I added weights to my wrists coz my dumbbells are quite light. Does it work?
Until today, my experience told me: I don't like talking in workout videos. Always thought, it distracts me from staying focused. But not this one, @olivialawson! It was only beneficial and I really could improve my movements! I honestly love all your videos!
Hi Olivia. What is your resting heart rate, if you don't mind me asking? Just so I know where your base is, because you said 120 heart rate and mine did not go up that high. My average resting heart rate is about 47 - 51. I understand we are all different and that you are not a medical practitioner. I have also had my heart checked - all is good, my heart rate is just a bit low.
Was debating whether or not to workout tonight and saw you posted! Finished way past 1am but I feel amazing and accomplished. Thank you so much! Really needed this. You were so right, I didnt need a break, I just needed movement that worked for me! 🫶

Hi Olivia a lovely workout by the world's most gorgeous lady ❤❤❤wes

Cortisol level has to do with intensity of the workouts? I can't understand this,help please
High intensity workout drive cortisol levels up. It not the issue for majority of us but for some it becomes problematic.
Hi Olivia. What is your resting heart rate, if you don't mind me asking? Just so I know where your base is, because you said 120 heart rate and mine did not go up that high.

It really varies but generally around the 70 mark. I wouldn’t worry. Mine at time goes to low 50 too. 😊
