We all know the physical benefits we gain when we exercise: weight loss, increased muscle mass, increased agility, and it’s also good for our heart, as well. But did you know that exercising can also be good for your mind?
It turns out that exercising has a positive effect on our overall happiness. And I’m not just talking about making us a bit happier. I’m talking about some legitimate physiological benefits here: reduced anxiety & depression, better sleep, increased energy, and less stress, among other things.
Below, you’ll find 16 different ways that exercise can make you a happier person. If you’d like to see more of the scientific details, check out the original article at Jane’s Best Fitness.
The Exercise and Happiness Connection
Most of the time motivation to get going every day to jog and exercise is the real problem. I too had to face it and I would like to tell you how raced it out.
Of course, a small little iPod with time-selected playlist of songs really gets my nerve going every morning.
The music, the sound vibs up my entire body and I tend to do an extra mile everyday with it.
It makes my mind happy and body out of calories 🙂
Thank you for this infographic Jenn!
