Physical activity is not only good for your body, it’s also great for your mind.
It’s no secret that working out regularly can improve mobility, prevent future injuries, help lose weight, decrease the chances of cardiovascular diseases, and much more. But with our busy lives, stressful careers, and fast-paced environments, many of us can find it challenging to manage our mental health, too. Therefore, it is crucial to recognize that paying attention to your mental well-being is extremely important.
Although not a cure-all, physical activity has many well-established mental health benefits, such as improved brain health and cognitive function, reduced risk of anxiety and depression, improved sleep, and overall quality of life.
Here are 5 more benefits of physical activity on your physical and mental health
-
Self-confidence
-
Getting out of your head and into your body
-
Self-care
-
Feeling of belonging
Working out in a group setting is a great way to help with accountability and simply makes it easier to commit to your workouts. But that isn’t the only benefit. By regularly attending group fitness, you’re giving yourself a chance to form friendships and connections. You get to share not only your struggles but also your wins!

Post-workout bliss
Working out reduces levels of the body's stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol. It also stimulates the production of endorphins, chemicals in the brain that are the body's natural painkillers and mood elevators. This often results in an almost euphoric feeling you get after exercising.
