We’ve all heard the phrase “exercise is the best medicine.” While it’s true that physical activity boosts physical health, it also has a significant impact on mental well-being. Exercise can improve your mood, reduce stress, and even increase your energy levels. But did you know you can maximize these benefits by tracking the connection between your mood and your exercise habits?
Why Mood and Exercise Are Linked
When you work out, your body releases feel-good chemicals like endorphins and serotonin. These help combat stress, anxiety, and low moods. But the effects of exercise on mood aren’t one-size-fits-all. By tracking your mood before and after workouts, you can discover:
- Which types of exercise make you feel your best (e.g., yoga vs. running).
- The time of day you feel most motivated to exercise.
- How consistent workouts affect your overall mood trends.
This insight allows you to create a personalized routine that supports both your physical and mental health goals.
