The Benefits of Exercise

Besides the obvious benefits of exercise, here are a few that I have found true in my own life. 

1. Will give you energy.
2. Stress reliever.
3. Make you smile. 

Want some extra energy? Whether you are an early bird or a night owl exercising will give you that boost of energy you need. I personally always exercise in the evening. I have found that I look forward to having that time at the end of my day to regather my thoughts. I tried working out in the morning for about a month just hoping I could switch my brain to looking forward to that morning work out but it didn't work. I dreaded going to bed at night because I had to get up extra early to go to the gym. So my recommendation is to try both and find what works best for you! 

Always stressed out? Exercise is one of the best things to do when you are stressed. I know first hand because I experienced this drastic change in my own life. Just think how much better you would feel if half of the stress in your life was taken away. That's how I felt when I began consistently exercising! 

Need to smile more? There is something about exercising that just makes me smile. If I had an awful day, going to the gym for an hour just makes me happy. Now I'm not saying exercise is always fun. There are times I even have to force myself to go but I never regret it. Sometimes you just need an hour to yourself to let out all of the negative energy in your life! 

I hope your monday was more exciting than mine!

Until next time,

Janelle
