    A long hike or bike ride is tiring without being stressful.

    Effort and stress are different things.

      Effort and stress are intrinsically linked. High effort activity naturally activate energy consuming processes and negative emotional states like frustration and fatigue.

      Effort isn’t stress but effort inherently causes stress on the body.

      A long walk or bike ride is stressful on the body. The stress created by physical exertion is what makes you tired.
