Exercise Does a Body (and Mind) Good
I’ve heard many times in my life that exercise is good for stress. And I believe it’s true. Back when I was younger, and I exercised in a sensible manner, I felt better than I ever have in my life. But now, I just can’t seem to muster the energy to do it.
There’s no doubt that exercising would be a good thing for me. I could stand to lose a few dozen pounds for sure. I’ll probably end up with more stretch marks, because I didn’t do the whole cocoa butter stretch marks treatment thing when I was pregnant and gained so much weight. But it would be nice to drop a few jeans sizes, and to have some more energy.
But the main reason I need to try working out is to improve my mental health. I’ve got a ton of tension built up inside, and if exercise can help get rid of it, I should definitely give it a try. The other benefits would just be icing on the proverbial cake.
