Good Morning

We all know exercise is important but it is sometimes good to be reminded of how beneficial it can be. One of our clients commented that her husband was like a different person after working out, which led me to think about how exercise affects our mood.

I found this article entitled “The Exercise Effect” which you may find interesting; it talks about exercise being a mood enhancer and its ability to treat and even prevent anxiety. It is suspected that exercise may increase our serotonin levels thereby impacting our mood. It also impacts how we sleep, I definitely sleep longer and more deeply after a good workout.
