8 Reasons To Work Out That AREN'T Weight Loss


Older lady laying down on yoga mat stretching.

A while ago I conducted a non-scientific (but still eye-opening!) poll.


I asked a bunch of people who had a regular workout routine WHY they exercised.


A lot of these people were in their 50s, 60s, and beyond, and most of them had been working out for decades.


Their answer: The mood and mental health benefits!


There is REAL science to back that up. We usually associate cardio with lifting your spirits, but it turns out strength training is also a MAJOR mood and mental health booster.


Studies show that strength training can help with:


ā— Less anxiety

ā— Lower depression

ā— Sharper thinking

ā— Better memory

ā— More energy & less chronic fatigue

ā— Better sleep

ā— More confidence and self-esteem

ā— Plus an even longer list of physical health benefits


Still, if youā€™ve never tried strength training before, getting started can seem a little intimidating.
