Sandayanti, Vira. Feryaldi, 2019).This statement is in accordance with Daniswari (2017), that regular exercise is the best way to reduce stress.Exercise can reduce stress for each individual with complex and different mechanisms between individuals.Exercise is carried out continuously with a duration of 30 minutes and at least 3 times a week (Maria, 2022) Based on the results of this study, there is a significant value that exercise can reduce stress for a person (housewife).This is in line with Andalasari & Berbudi BL's statement (2018), that exercise habits have a high and significant relationship to reducing stress levels.Exercise can reduce stress because it stimulates hormones (feel good hormones), namely endorphins.Endorphin hormones will replace stress hormones and make emotions more stable so as to provide a sense of calm, release tension and reduce pain (Andalasari & Berbudi BL, 2018;Stevens et al., 2013).In addition, exercise can increase lactate levels in the brain as a true neuromodulator, namely an energy substrate or angiogenetic factor and protects against stress (Coco et al., 2020).Therefore, it is hoped that housewives can spend time for themselves and exercise to avoid stress and maintain health/fitness.
