Exercise explores my strengths & limits. I can push myself or take it easy. I decide. Its uplifting & feeds my soul -- a great stress buster. Curiosity led me to a consistent practice, not any idealization of a desired outcome. It has connected me with a great community of supportive people. Recently, I had an emergency surgery and will not be able to exercise for the next few weeks. It's been humbling. I've become a lot more aware of my own able bodied privilege and reflective of the importance and meaning of exercise now that I can't.

It maintains your weight, that means that they prevent both, weight gaining and continuous weight losing, and that's by the calories that were burnt during the exercise. So it can work through the gym or increasing the daily activities or frequent walking.
It helps you to improve your mood. Exercise practicing, either by going to the gym or walking for half an hour contributes in enhancing your mood, because physical activity stimulates the chemicals in the brains that reinforce the feeling of happiness and relaxing. Also, exercise reinforces self-confidence and self-esteem by getting a better look.
It can also decrease your stress a lot and enhance your energy levels.

Exercise can really help give you space to clear your head. When exercising, like running, you can feel the freedom and the almost power that you have, to push yourself, and the feeling that you are limitless. When exercising you have the opportunity to just think, and cleanse yourself of all that is bothering you. Also, endorphins are released when you exercise, which is a type of hormone that makes you happy! Having this can help you feel better about yourself and others! Plus, you get such a sense of accomplishment! Exercise can help you both physically and mentally! Yay!

Exercise is essential for everyone. It keeps us healthy, can release energy (catharsis), and has been scientifically proven to help relieve feelings of both anxiety and depression. When we exercise, the brain releases endorphins - these can lower stress levels, improve the immune system and lead to a decreased appetite. Furthermore, the brain releases serotonin, a natural "mood booster". Serotonin is classed as the "happy" chemical in the brain. The number of positive emotional effects gained from regular exercise is endless. These effects include improved self-esteem, enhanced mood, better memory and mental functioning - and decreased stress. However, as always, we have to exercise with caution to prevent exhaustion, muscle damage and dehydration.

Exercise is important to all of us! The benefits or doing sports are great and a lot, the one thing that keeps make exercising that I feel really good afterwards. Sports make us feel like we are taking care of our bodies and feel refreshed and energized. Although everyone can say for sure that doing sports can help you feel better and decrease the feelings of sadness and depression. I think doing sports and exercise also help in your overall health. It’s really important to exercise, any kind is good, walking, running, zumba, aerobics, weight lifting and a lot more. 2 times a week as a start could be great.

i want to appreciate the life i have as effectively and for as long as i can - mobility and overall healthiness help with that immensely! feeling like i can move more easily and feel my body work is a great joy in my life, and it's almost constant. it's also great to be working towards something - even the smallest goal achieved can make me feel like i'm super strong! when i started exercising, i thought i'd get bored, that i wouldn't have enough time for the things i like, but after a year of it it's become something i look forward to. walking is relaxing, running is satisfying, and lifting weights makes me feel powerful. i still spend time on the couch chilling too, but i'm not missing out by spending an hour or so a day doing something good for my mind and body either. that's why exercise is important for me.
the endorphin rush is pretty good, too ;)

Exercising regularly doesn't only make for a healthy body, but also a healthy mind. There are thousands of studies emphasizing the effect that exercise has on the brain, such as the release of certain chemicals that will help boost your happiness. It's even considered as one of the main intervention techniques for people who stuggle with mood disorders. It also helps with sleeping better at night!
When I say exercise, I don't mean strenuous hours on a treadmill or lifting weights like The Rock. 20min of training a day (which is as easy as walking around the block a few times) is enough!
