Exercise helps me focus on myself. It is a period of time reserved exclusively for me and my body, where I shower my body with the attention and care it deserves. I also get to develop a healthier and better physical and mental self for myself. Starting my day off with exercise revitalizes me and prepares me for the day ahead. Exercise is not just restricted to physical exercise, it also includes mental exercises. Riddles, brain teasers, meditation, yoga, all of these constitute as exercises. The best way to exercise is to plan a routine, and stick to it! Happy exercising!

Exercise is important for me because it allows me to make time for myself, which is something I often forget to do. Having something like exercise that I routinely do also helps me to feel more productive. I like to feel productive when taking time for myself because it makes me feel like I am accomplishing something. My favorite form of exercise is running because it helps me to relieve stress and I can do it outside. I love running in new places because it helps me learn where things are and allows me to take in the sights.

For me, exercise is an opportunity to de-stress and take my mind off of school and work, while also allowing me to do something healthy for my body and mind. Even though it may be tough in the moment, I always leave a workout feeling refreshed, calm, and most importantly, happy. Even gentle exercise like yoga or stretching has been amazing for my mood, as well as my overall physical wellbeing. And - not all exercise has to be solo! It's a great way to connect with people and have fun with friends. My friends and I enjoy weekly Zoom-ba classes together, and all agree that the fun-filled dance exercise is an excellent way to shake out some of that exam stress.

Exercising is very important. Exercise is not only good for your health. It's good to help with your emotional state. Sometimes you may have a lot going on in your life where you need to take a minute and focus on yourself. You could walk, jog or even go to a gym just to clear your mind. When you exercise and eat healthier it makes you feel better to have better energy. Exercising with close friends and family would make it a lot easier to do. It's all forms of ways to exercise you don't have to go just to a gym. There is bike riding, swimming, running, walking, etc

Exercise is important because it effects you physically, mentally and with your overall well being. Sometimes when I'm stressed I will exercise for thirty minutes. Only have a short period of time, I will feel more calm and at ease and I have mental clarity and awareness that I didn't have before the stressful situation. Its also important to make exercise part of your lifestyle. When its something you do for your health, you are putting you 1st and not your feeling or emptions 1st (which can change rapidly) saying you are too tired or you aren't in the mood to exercise for whatever reason it may be that day.

exercise is something that plays a very important role in maintaining your physical as well as your mental health. doing exercise not only makes you feel active, but it also makes you more productive in any activity you chose to do that day. exercise helps secrete a serotonin in your body, which is a happiness hormone. you'll definitely feel better after doing a workout ! from taking a small walk, to riding your bike, playing your favorite sport. its all a form of exercise! just make sure you sweat out all those toxins from your body along with those negative thoughts and energy.

Exercise is very important for staying in shape, boosting your metabolism, helping to de-stress, staying healthy, and it can often be very rewarding. It can be rewarding in the sense of achieving either short-term or long-term goals. For example, when setting a new personal record for running, your self-confidence and self-motivation is boosted. Exercising is something that everyone should be engaging in when they're available and ready to do so. Patience is key when exercising because there are days when life knocks you down, but it is your choice to either stand back up or stay down :)

If we are talking about physical exercise, it is super important as it is not only healthy for you but gives you a chance to focus on something that isn't a normal stress causer. For myself at least, whenever I work out, I don't have to worry about school work, relationship stress, or anything else unless I choose to think about it. This time which is dedicated to taking care of my body gives my brain a much needed rest and is something that I use as a reward for myslef. There are times when it's okay to not exercise because it will cause you more stress to lose that time that could be spent elsewhere, but overall, it will allow you to give your brain that much-needed break.

Good question. By engaging in exercise, one may experience a better mood, a higher range of motion, and brain benefits. Even small bouts of exercise can be helpful too. In your experience, how did you benefit from exercise and how did you feel? This might help you identify why exercise is important for you. Apart from that, exercise might help you distract yourself from negative emotions and unhelpful thoughts. Does that sound relatable? Trying some form of exercise may help in discovering its importance and which ones you find worthwhile. Although exercise is important, perhaps, one can get overwhelmed by being over-ambitious, making it hard to benefit in the long-term. Does keeping an exercise log sound beneficial? Feel free to reach out to any listener and, we will be happy to hear your thoughts. Best wishes on your journey.

Exercise can help when you are stressed. When you exercise, it releases feel-good hormones. It helps you think about good things and get your mind off of what it is that is bothering you. If you exercise, it can also make your body better and help you feel healthier. It also can give you hunger if you are not eating well currently. The feel-good hormones are what release whenever you do something that makes your body feel healthier, or even better. Your mind can get healthier when you exercise daily because you think about what makes you happy. Exercise daily and there will be a great change in your body and your mind.
