Maybe you should tell your boss to take a hike!

Do you have a supervisor that is giving you a hard time?  Maybe you should tell her or him to go take a hike: 30 minutes at least twice a week.

According to recent research published yesterday online http://www.springer.com/about+springer/media/springer+select?SGWID=0-11001-6-1336221-0 that is exactly what you should do if supervisor stress is hard on you!

In the study, 98 employees and their supervisors completed questionnaires about the work place.  The employees rated their perceptions about how abusive the current supervisor was and the supervisors described their exercise patterns.

The researchers found that when the supervisors were stressed that the employees felt more victimized.  This was not surprising, but when the same stressed bosses began to exercise, the employees reported lower levels of abusive behavior!

They conclude that "the simple act of exercising minimizes the negative effects of supervisor workplace stress on employees".

So, now add stress reduction to the list of benefits of regular exercise which begins with FEWER BREAST CANCERS.
