Movement is medicine and our bodies create magic when we do it. ✨️

When we put our bodies to the test, the brain’s hypothalamus (our favorite brain booster) and pituitary gland produces neurochemicals called endorphins.

These are considered nature’s painkillers. They bring about feelings of euphoria and well-being as well as highlight the “reward” circuit of your brain. That area is typically related to food, drink, sexual activity, and so forth.

Exercise naturally energizes you. When you get your blood flowing and your body moving, you release endorphins which combat stress.

Upon exercising, neurotransmitters like serotonin or norepinephrine help teach your body how to better respond to stressors.

Studies even show that low levels of both are linked to depression and anxiety. So, higher levels of those chemicals during exercise naturally make you feel good.

Exercise is more than a chemical reaction and regular exercise can help us sleep better. Good sleep helps us manage our mood. Exercise can improve your sense of control, coping ability and self-esteem. It's an all around win!
