Exercise is good for your heart, it’s good for your mind and its good for your soul. For years I have worked on bodies and it’s not difficult to tell immediately if a person has been exercising, or if they have become sedentary.
I love this post of WebMd which talks about the benefits of exercise:
“Cranky? Get moving. Exercise makes you feel happier. When you work out, your body makes endorphins — “feel-good” chemicals in the brain. You can actually start to feel better within a few minutes of moving. But the effects of regular exercise can last for a long time.
More Energy – You might not expect it, but using energy to exercise gives you more get-up-and-go. Sometimes when you’re tired, the last thing you want to do is move. But when you exercise regularly, that fatigue goes away and you find yourself with a lot more pep.
Exercise calms your body and your brain. After your body works hard, the levels of stress hormones — like adrenaline and cortisol — drop. Stress and anxiety fade away, especially after aerobic exercise.
More Productive
Want to be more efficient at work? Take a break and get some exercise. In one study, people who got moving in the middle of the day were much more productive when they went back to work. They were also happier and got along better with their co-workers.”
