Exercise is great for both the body and the mind. Not only does it keep you fit and strong, it can also relieve stress, boost energy levels and even help you feel more positive.
The trick about exercise is to not think about it as a chore, but as a hobby. Pick a type of sport or activity that you enjoy and it go from being difficult to fun.
