Exercise is more than just physical

As my son was considering his activities for Freshman year, he was contemplating Cross Country or Track and Field.  And as we talked about what it means to train and be fit, I shared with him and some friends my perspective on exercise, and what exercise means to an athlete.

You need to exercise more than just your body, and exercise is not just about raising your heart rate and working up a sweat.  Exercise is a full body and mind experience.

Exercise is more than just physical!

Exercise Your Body

* Improves your mood

* Increases your energy

* Improves your health 

* Reduces stress and anxiety 

* Improves brain function 

Exercise Your Mind 

* Mental stimulation also improves brain function

* Your brain is a muscle that needs stretching 

* A good night’s sleep improves brain function 

* Healthy fats are brain food and feed brain cells 

* Mental imagery is key to performance (sports is 90% mental 
   and 10% physical)

Exercise Your Heart 

* Find the positive in everything, positivity is contagious 

* Optimistic people outperform pessimistic people

* A positive attitude helps you achieve goals & attain success 

* Expressing gratitude fosters happiness
* Schedule time for play and adventure – Have Fun! 

As you exercise your body, mind and heart, the rewards are much greater than just the physical transformation.  You also begin an internal transformation: of positivity,  of increased energy and of overall improved mind and spirit.
