I am an avid lover and a supporter of working out daily. It has SO many benefits that you can read about online, but through my personal experiences, I have found that it affects your mental health too and other things. Since beginning to work out, I have grown to love myself more than I ever thought was possible. I want to share my experience with you all, considering it might hit a chord with you, making it something you would like to begin to do regularly.
1. Stress-Relief

One of the main reasons I enjoy working out everyday is due to it being a huge stress-relief. Pushing myself to my limits with cardio and weight-lifting, makes me feel proud and allows me to get steam off my chest.
2. Mental Health

With stress relief, I have noticed that when I work out regularly, I feel better mentally and physically. I really do notice a difference when I haven't worked out and when I have.
3. Strength

With lifting weights I have noticed a major healthy difference in my body-- it is more toned (yes I have gained weight from working out, but it is ALL healthy, so it is not a bad thing). Growing stronger each and everyday and seeing progress makes you feel like you can accomplish anything.
4. Health

Overall, exercising is incredibly healthy for not only your mind, but your body. Your cardiovascular system is affected drastically in a good way and your bones become stronger due to osteoblast production. Exercising with good mechanics and techniques can never hurt your physical or mental health in a negative way.
5. Sleep Quality

Pushing your body to your limits takes a lot of energy-- so it will induce a good quality of sleep, and who does not love sleep. Rest up!!
