3 Reasons to Exercise

If you’re looking for motivation to start exercising, look no further.

Boosts brainpower. Studies have shown that aerobic fitness may reduce the loss of brain tissue common in aging. Want to clear your mind? Exercise. Working out also increases energy levels and serotonin in the brain, which helps to improve mental clarity.

Reduces stress. If you’re stressing over your 401k plan and the stability of your current job, then consider hitting the gym. Working out can be a positive distraction, according to WebMD, and can help elevate your mood, keeping depression at bay.

Increases energy. Believe it or not, 30 minutes of exercise in the morning could change your whole day. Studies have shown that endorphins are released into the bloodstream during exercise, making you feel more energized.
