The Ultimate Stress Relief: Axe Throwing

Ask any expert the secret to a happy, healthy life, and the same instructions will pop up time and time again. One instruction that makes the list every time is managing stress. Stress is insidious, and once you’re feeling stressed, it becomes harder to relax and shake off that stress. Fortunately, if you’ve got stress, we’ve got the cure. There’s no better way to release excess tension than to pick up an axe and throw it! Let’s look at some reasons axe throwing is the activity for ultimate stress relief!

• Axe throwing equals exercise. Haven’t you heard that exercise is one of the best forms of stress relief? During a workout, the body produces chemicals called endorphins, which act as a natural pain killer. A body full of endorphins has more energy, feels better, and releases bad stress. You might not realize it, but axe throwing is excellent exercise. The very act of picking up the axe builds muscle, and from the time you pick it up until you let it go, you’re getting a workout. Arms, chest muscles, triceps, lats, and even hamstrings and calves come into play during this full-body exercise!
• Hanging out with your friends reduces stress. Typically, when people go out to throw axes, they do it in a group. Surrounded by friends, family members, or coworkers, you’ll start feeling better right away. When it’s not your turn to throw, you’ll be engaging with your people, releasing tension by confiding what’s troubling you or just forgetting about it while you enjoy the moment.
• When you’re axe throwing, you’re in a stress-free environment. There’s no judgement in axe throwing, and the atmosphere is one of relaxation and fun. There’s no pressure to be perfect or even skilled, and it’s really one of the few places in the world where you can just be yourself, throw yourself into something new, let loose and have fun! You’ll be surrounded by positive attitudes, engaging in friendly competition. Groups in an axe throwing environment encourage each other, cheer on improvement, and celebrate the time together. Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, you’ll feel the rush of adrenaline as you throw axes and hear the cheers of those around you. Come with friends, bring your family, or hold your company’s team-building exercise there: no matter what the group may be, you’ll all be able to relax and let off steam together.
