Fitness activities such as cardio, sports and more release hormones in your brain that brings you joy. Dopamine and endorphins are among the hormones that are commonly known to trigger feelings of happiness.

Exercising reduces stress levels. It’s a great way to keep busy and avoid unnecessary worrying as well! Invest your time in physical activities that you love and enjoy!

Regular fitness activities give you better stamina, boosting energy levels. You tend to look and feel younger. Your muscles are worked out and you feel energised.
6. Oxygen intake
With better breathing, your body gets more oxygen intake. Oxygen is vital to living. When you breathe in lots of oxygen while exercising, you also breath out carbon dioxide, removing this waste product from your body.

When you exercise regularly, it induces sleep at night. Prefer exercising in the morning, and not late in the evening. Wake up feeling refreshed and energised!

Incorporate your favourite fitness activity into your morning routine, so that you start the day in a healthy way. Jounaling, meditation and yoga are also great as part of your daily routine. Having a daily to-do list supports you in living your day the way you plan to.

Do you love spending your spare time doing things that you love the most? Do you have hobbies that you practice regularly? Consider choosing a sport that you genuinely love and make it your hobby. Spend time with friends or find a gym/club to practice your chosen activity, with people of the same interest.

Athletes are known to be well-disciplined! They embrace self-discipline in their daily life.

13. Beautiful (or handsome) skin
When you exercise, eat and drink right, you consume the right vitamins and minerals. This gives you better skin, hair, and nails.
