What’s good for your heart is good for your brain (1)
Yes, exercise makes you look good and feel good, but it’s biggest impact is on your BRAIN! The control center of everything. The mastermind. Fueling your brain benefits all aspects of life by increasing productivity at work and at home, creating an overall feeling of happiness and fulfillment, and boosting motivation and gall to accomplish everyday tasks.
When starting your fitness journey, remember these things.
Exercising is hard and committing to a schedule is challenging.
All you need is the push, in the beginning, to get you there.
Call up a friend!
Drop-in on a class!
Show up to an event!
After that initial push, I promise it gets easier.
Exercise raises brain levels of neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, which impact mood. It also increases endorphin levels and increases blood flow to the brain. There are no antidepressants that have been shown to impact the brain in as many positive ways as exercise can.” (2)
