Exercise benefits
It's been over a year since I started going to the gym consistently (I like weightlifting and cardio/jogging), and quite frankly it has changed my life. Here are the benefits I've noticed:
Improves mental health
Alleviates anxiety
Relieves muscular and mental tension
More energy
Improved vitality
Better sleep
Drastically improves confidence (boost of endorphins after workout but also from body image)
Mental clarity
Teches you discipline and consistency
Teaches you how to have short and long-term goals, and being committed to them
Growth mindset: teaches you to step out of your comfort zone, challenge yourself and achieve results, and gain further confidence from those achievements
You learn that everything is connected, and by this you have no choice but take better care of you: exercise, sleep and food are all interconnected and you can't thrive without having a good balance with all. If you're stressed and eat junk food, you can go 7x a week to the gym but you still won't see the results you want.
It's a very healthy routine to add into your life. having hobbies, pastimes and routines that you enjoy are an essential part of being a well-rounded individual who has a life of her own. In the absence of this, we often rely on others to fill the boredom or free time on our hands and lose sight of working on ourselves for ourselves.
