How much do you really accomplish in an average day? There are so many people who feel they live unfulfilling lives because they do little more than sleep, work, eat, and sit. Not only can this cycle lead to depression, but it can be dangerous to your physical health as well.
Benefits of Regular Physical Activity
Including exercise into your daily routine is a great way to solve both of these concerns, though: regular exercise can boost your mood and your productivity. Exercise gets you motivated in a number of ways to make life more fulfilling, and it provides physiological changes that can add more to your day.
Exercise can also boost your mood almost instantly. A better mood means you’re more likely to embrace challenges, feel confident, and be willing to lead a more productive and positive life. Physical activity releases dopamine (the pleasure hormone) and serotonin (a neurotransmitter that affects mood), which can reduce stress, improve motivation, and encourage action. The better you feel about life, the more productive you will likely be.
