Exercise benefits

It's been over a year since I started going to the gym consistently (I like weightlifting and cardio/jogging), and quite frankly it has changed my life. Here are the benefits I've noticed:

Improves mental health

Alleviates anxiety

Relieves muscular and mental tension

More energy

Improved vitality

Better sleep

Drastically improves confidence (boost of endorphins after workout but also from body image)

Mental clarity

Teches you discipline and consistency

Teaches you how to have short and long-term goals, and being committed to them

Growth mindset: teaches you to step out of your comfort zone, challenge yourself and achieve results, and gain further confidence from those achievements

You learn that everything is connected, and by this you have no choice but take better care of you: exercise, sleep and food are all interconnected and you can't thrive without having a good balance with all. If you're stressed and eat junk food, you can go 7x a week to the gym but you still won't see the results you want.

It's a very healthy routine to add into your life. having hobbies, pastimes and routines that you enjoy are an essential part of being a well-rounded individual who has a life of her own. In the absence of this, we often rely on others to fill the boredom or free time on our hands and lose sight of working on ourselves for ourselves.
