Life is full of stressful situations. Over time, the harsh realities of a world where you are always connected to work, overwhelmed by activities and pulled in five different directions can take a real toll on your body and mind. One of the best things you can do for yourself and your family is to release these pressures in a healthy way. Too often people turn to chemicals and food to soothe a stressful life. Instead, think about engaging in a fitness program to release the pressure and help you achieve your best and most functional life.
Exercise Benefits More Than Just Your Body
Study after study reveals the benefits a regular exercise regime can have on your body. Sure, you want to look great, but you can’t maintain it if you don’t get at the core problem. Exercise in any form releases chemicals in your brain called Endorphins. These are known as the “feel good” hormones, and as they course through your brain, they have a stimulating effect. Since your mind is responsible for your maintaining the rest of your body, having it regularly on a natural hormonal high will start to turn even the most painful feelings around.
Move More, Sleep Better
A key component in feeling better is regular and restful sleep. Staying fit through proper diet and activity helps regulate your body’s sleep schedule. This doesn’t mean you have to work out hours a day to gain more rest. Any amount of exercise at regular intervals will help shift your constantly thinking brain off at night. It isn’t just about the hours of sleep you catch but the quality. Tossing and turning for hours on end does nothing to help you wake up refreshed.
Variety Does Equal the Spice of Life
Doing the same thing over and over again is not very appealing, even to the most petulant fitness lover. At Newport Medical and Wellness Center, choose from a variety of fitness classes running the gamut from yoga and meditation to high-intensity interval training. If a group setting isn’t your thing, give a personal trainer a chance to craft a plan that will provide you with variety and motivation. Meeting with a personal wellness coach will also help you turn the blahs around.
Working out regularly in any intensity has benefits that go beyond a beach body. Over time, you will start to feel better about yourself and be able to process the ins and outs of a hectic life healthily. Your personal life will flourish, and your productivity at work will also get a boost. Come in the Newport Medical and Wellness Center and find your best mind and body solution.
