Exercise Has Benefits.

Benefits to exercise include:

• A decrease in frustration, anger and irritability
• A decrease in stress hormones
• A release of endorphins – chemicals in the brain that are pain relieving, mood elevating!
• Better sleep

You do not have to become a serious athlete to experience the benefits of exercise.

Every bit counts. Don't worry if you can't schedule exercise every day at this point.

Begin somewhere!

Choose an activity you like.
Start a walking group for social and stress benefits!

Attention. Please consult your health care provider before starting an exercise program.
