Exercise will make you feel better!

Exercising release endorphins, making you feel happy and positive about yourself. Don’t we all want that?

Overall mood booster!

Exercising regularly will release tension. This translates into solved problems with depression and stress.

Confidence

It helps your body to have a high pain tolerance

Exercise can make you sore sometimes. At first it might be horrible, but after it happens a few times you learn how to deal with it. This leads to an overall increase in your pain threshold.

Work to improve your brain power!

Exercise causes your body to create more brain cells and connections. This means your brain becomes more powerful and has a greater capacity for learning.

Exercise improves your character

Sticking to an exercise routine will help you to develop the qualities of discipline, dedication, and determination.

Self-discipline

It also helps you develop the skills of compliance and adherence. These skills will have a positive effect in all areas of your life.

Exercise can help with addiction recovery

As mentioned before, exercise can help you to develop discipline. Overcoming addictions can become a lot easier when a workout routine is in place.

It also helps combat depression
