Short answer—YES!
Any type of exercise can help with stress relief. Activity promotes a release of feel-good chemicals from the body into the brain. These chemicals are known as endorphins and dopamine. Exercising also helps the brain rid itself of chemicals that cause stress and anxiety.

Another benefit of exercise is the exertion of surplus energy that may otherwise keep you up at night. Sleep is a time for recovery, both mental and physical. It is incredibly important, especially when dealing with stress.

Exercise is an amazing tool that can work wonders for your mental health. Ensure the types of exercise you choose is mild enough that you maintain the ability to recover. At its core, working out is a getaway. It can be an opportunity to have a moment to yourself and a chance to sort through personal challenges.
