So many of us love to watch as our hard work in the gym pays off: as our biceps, triceps, pecs, and quads tone and grow. But the power of strength training, and working out in general, goes deeper than these muscles.
No matter your age, gender, weight, or experience level, exercising does wonders for your BRAIN. Countless studies have noted the overwhelming correlation between mental health and working out. The mental benefits of letting off steam at the gym are hard to ignore.
Naturally, working out sparks a rush of endorphins, your brain’s “feel good” hormone, which can lead to decreased stress, depression, and anxiety. Achieving noticeable changes in your weight and muscle tone can also lead to improvements in self-esteem and confidence. Even small victories, like having less trouble lifting heavier things, or feeling less and less winded after a few flights of stairs can have awesome effects on your self-image, as they should!
