Making Spirits Bright: Four Days of Gifts & Giveaways

Since we’re all about uplifting spirits here, we’ve GOT to talk about the brain benefits of getting your body moving.
Did you know that regular physical activity can do all of the following for you?
☺️ Boosts your mood naturally. Exercise stimulates endorphins, your body’s own mood-lifters. 😅Relieves stress. Working out helps you chill out by reducing your stress hormones (adrenaline and cortisol).
🌟Helps you get your Zzz’s. Don’t we all feel better after a good night’s sleep? Exercise has been shown to help you fall asleep and sleep better in general.
🚀 Supports your memory and thinking skills. Exercise promotes the production of new brain cells, and studies suggest that it supports the health of brain cells and the growth of new blood vessels to the brain.
🧘‍♂️ Gets you out of your head.From walking to workout classes, exercise brings you to the present and helps you forget the day’s annoyances so you can feel calmer and clearer.
You can see why we’ve got movement on our Tracker!
