]]> There is something so therapeutic about punching a heavy bag, sweating it out, and getting your heart rate up. You may think of boxing as a great way to release some stress or anger, but did you know it has so many other benefits as well? 

Improves Cardiovascular Health

Boxing is a great form of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), which has been proven to boost cardiovascular health. This form of training is also shown to reduce your risk of heart disease. An added benefit is that you will gain endurance and be able to sustain high intensity exercises for longer amounts of time.

Gain Full-Body Strength

One of the greatest benefits of boxing is it works your entire body—your arms, shoulders, legs, abs, back—pretty much every muscle you can think of. Boxing builds strength and stability and sharpens your reflexes over time. If you’re looking to tone your entire body, boxing is a great choice.

Boosts Mental Health

Any form of exercise is proven to boost mental health, but boxing in particular has a great effect on the mind. It is a great stress reliever and the boost in your heart rate will leave you with a smile on your face (even as you’re panting to catch your breath!).

]]> One of the most common reasons why people go to the gym and exercise on a regular basis is because they want to look good, tone their body, and stay in shape. Mental health benefits of exercise, though, are often underrated despite the fact that they are just as amazing if not even more. Here are a few amazing ways in which exercise improves our mental health.

Transforms Your Self Image

It’s only logical that toning your body and achieving all your fitness goals is great for improving self-confidence. Also, improving your skills, exercising with other people, and being part of a certain group are also some of the reasons why exercise can greatly transform your self-image.

It Makes You Friendlier

The boost of endorphins and confidence is also likely to make you a friendlier person. Exercising is great for reducing stress and anxiety, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that engaging in regular physical activity can help strengthen our relationship with other people.

It Improves Your Cognitive Function

One of the best and probably most significant benefits of exercise is that it can actually improve our cognitive abilities. Studies have shown that regular exercise stimulates our brain cells and can help improve our memory and focus.

]]> What time of day is best to work out is a hotly debated topic, and surely no time will work for everyone. Still, we were curious so we did a bit of research. According to most scientists, the best time of day to work out is in the morning, and for multiple reasons. Regardless, exercise is highly beneficial whatever time of day it’s done, so if you’re only able to fit it in later on, don’t sweat it. If you do work out in the morning, here are some of the benefits you can expect:

Increased Metabolism

When we wake up, our cortisol levels are highest, and cortisol plays a key role in our bodies’ metabolism of fat and carbohydrates. Some studies have shown that working out in the morning can keep our metabolism working more effectively all day long.

Increased Alertness

Exercise has been proven to reduce stress and increase productivity. Increased blood flow to the brain can help us to feel more calm and focused than we otherwise would, as oxygen is delivered to all of our bodies’ tissues. Increased alertness can be a great asset as we continue our days with school or work.

Better Mood

Another benefit of exercise we can experience any time of day is increased endorphins. Endorphins play a key role in stabilizing our mood and can help with feelings of happiness and wellbeing. What better way to start off the day than with a little endorphin boost?

]]> The lymphatic system is part of our circulatory and immune systems and includes vessels and nodes throughout the body. One major difference, however, is that the lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump like the heart, so sometimes it’s good to give it a bit of help. Exercise is one of the best ways to assist with this process. As muscles contract, lymphatic fluid is moved, which helps the body eliminate what it doesn’t need. Any exercise will do, but here are a few of the ones we find most effective.

Jumps

The best way to get your lymphatic system moving is to get moving in general! Jumps can be practiced on the floor through activities like jumping rope or jumping jacks, or on a trampoline for a more fun approach. The up and down movement will open up lymphatic channels, which in turn increases circulation to remove waste.

Go Upside Down

Whether you’re working at a desk or on your feet all day, most of us spend the majority of our time in an upright position. Spending a lot of time in the same postures can cause our lymphatic system to become sluggish, so we turn to inversions for help. Play around with headstands, shoulder stands, or even legs up the wall. Gravity is your friend as it moves lymphatic fluid from the feet toward the nodes of the upper body.

Dance

Similar to jumping, dancing has the effect of stimulating muscle contraction but gives you a bit more creative license. Grab your friends and turn up the music, or look for a dance party workout video on Youtube. The most important thing is to move in a way that’s fun for you!

]]> We all have our own reasons for working out. Maybe we want to achieve a healthier body weight, maybe we want to reduce our risk of diseases, maybe we want to improve our mental health. Whatever the case may be, we all know that exercise has plenty of benefits. But in addition to the more obvious ones, there are also some lesser talked-about benefits that make working out even more worth it. For example…

Perseverance

If you’ve ever done a plank, you know how tempting it can be to give up when the going gets tough. But exercise teaches you to push through even when something is uncomfortable, increasing your tolerance for challenges and discomfort.

Better Sleep

When you exercise, your body is desperate to recover afterward, and it helps you sleep like a baby, which in turn gives you more energy and makes you feel better the following day.

Confidence

Whether it’s because you’ve hit a new PR, gone down (or up!) a pants size, figured out a new yoga pose you could never do before, or something else, exercise can make you feel better about yourself and give you a sense of pride in yourself that really puts a spring in your step.

What’s your favorite lesser talked-about benefit of working out?
