Find Your Fitness Fit
Not every fitness program is for every person, but fitness is important for everyone. That’s why it’s important to try a few methods to find which you connect with. After all, staying fit not only benefits us physically, but mentally and emotionally, too. Here’s how:
• PHYSICAL BENEFITS: We know fitness programs can help manage weight, strengthen bones and muscles, improve your brain health, reduce the risk of disease and improve mobility, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg!
• MENTAL BENEFITS: Working out can aid in reducing anxiety, depression and negative moods by improving our self-esteem and cognitive function. Exercise has also been found to help relieve feelings of low self-esteem as well as social withdrawal.
• EMOTIONAL BENEFITS: You’ve likely heard of a runner’s high. That’s the release of endorphins the activity brings an individual, creating feel-good feelings. It might be hard to believe, but exercising can increase your energy level and also improve your sleep quality, both good for your overall mood.
