Get Some Exercise to Improve your Mood!

Even something as simple as a 15 minute walk can really improve your mood. Try it!
I was just reading the following -

Study after study has found that physical activity can boost mood, says Cook. How much? You don’t need to run marathons to get a benefit. “It seems like half an hour several times a week may be enough,” Cook says. “More than that may not have a further effect on mood. There seems to be a plateau.”The type of exercise you use as a natural depression treatment doesn’t seem to matter. “Your cardiologist might want you getting a lot of aerobic exercise for your heart,” says MacKinnon. “But for your mental health, just getting out and walking can be enough.”

About Us

My photo
Jenny
Bend, OR, United States
I refer to myself as a fitness foodie because I love to work and move my body which is good because I like to eat! I like to travel and find new places to exercise and new foods to try! I really enjoy being outside. I'm an active person and love to run around but I also like to balance that out with some rest and relaxation like stretching, meditative activities, cooking, writing or reading.
