Working out is not just good to keep
you in shape. While getting physically in shape is the main reason people work
out, it can do even more things for a person’s mental health. A main positive
of working out is improving self-confidence. The saying “look good, feel good”
is very true; when a person likes how they look, they will start to ooze
confidence. This is due to a release of endorphins from your brain that cause
the body to feel a happy sensation. These chemicals can cause you to like how you look, and also perform better with whatever you are doing.
Another advantage to working out is
to alleviate anxiety and reduce stress. Lifting weights or even hitting a
punching bag can help to let out a lot of the stress that piles up during the
day. So next time you are worried, or mad at anything, just
put on some shorts, go outside and run around the park. Not only will you see
some really cool sights, but your mind and body will thank you too. Whether you
are running around, climbing a mountain, or even just playing basketball with
your friends, working out has a numerous amount of benefits to the human body.

This was very interesting because I would work out all summer and stopped when I got to school and was wondering why I felt less confident. This was a good article and thank you for the explanation.
