Feeling stressed? Exercise can help!

It is widely known that exercise has many physical benefits including managing weight and improving blood pressure. Research shows that moderate-intensity exercise can also improve our mood, decrease stress, and reduce depression and anxiety. Exercise releases endorphins – a feel-good hormone.

Feeling forgetful or experiencing brain fog? Exercise has also been shown to improve cognitive function and memory.

Taking your exercise outside has additional benefits. Sunshine enhances Vitamin D production which can enhance your mood.

The best way to stick to an exercise routine is to choose an activity that you enjoy doing. Some options include going for a brisk walk, going for a bike ride, or turning up the music and dancing around your house.

Aim for 30 minutes of exercise at least three times a week. Don’t have time for 30 minutes? You can get similar benefits from breaking it down to three 10-minute exercise sessions throughout your day.

Contact us below to schedule a one-on-one appointment with one of our therapists. The therapist will provide an individualized assessment and develop a customized treatment plan to help you attain your goals. We offer in-person visits at our clinic in Riverdale, Concierge in-home sessions, and virtual visits over telehealth to cater to all of your needs.

We look forward to helping you achieve your wellness goals.

Many people fear the winter because surfaces outside can get slippery from cold rain and snow. With these changes come increased chances of slip and falls. Freezing temperatures also introduce the possibility of running into black ice – a slippery surface that you often don’t realize is there until you are on it. It can all make you want to…
