Aspen Club and Spa

Let’s face it, sometimes we feel down in the dumps. Life can get to you, and you may not be feeling your usual cheery self.  There are countless things that affect thy mood. Did you know that working out can improve that mood? Studies have shown that a trip to the gym can lighten your load. You may leave feeling more positive, refreshed, and ready to smile again after your workout. Why? Exercise releases endorphines in the body, boosting the feel better good stuff in our brains. Adrenaline rises as well. We sweat, we release negativity and stress. It’s no wonder that exercise is a huge part of the mind-body connection. The next time you may feel down, or sluggish, try a workout. This doesnt mean you need to go gangbusters on the stairmaster or do 100 eagle crunches in a row (who does that?!) but even a gentle workout will likely free up your mind, and make you feel better. Then again there is always that pint of ice-cream in the fridge….just kidding! Enjoy.
