Exercising isn't only about endurance and aesthetics. Admittedly, it can improve our physiques, sex lives, and dating opportunities, but that's usually not what keeps active people motivated.

Those who regularly exercise do so because it gives them an incredible sense of well-being. I exercise regularly because it makes me feel more energetic throughout the day, more relaxed, improves my memory, and makes me sleep better at night.

Consistent exercise has a profound impact on your mental health and relieves stress, improves memory, helps you sleep better, and boosts your resiliency. You don't have to go to extreme lengths to get these benefits; keep reading, and we will start slow.
