Bust those Winter Blues with Exercise
Many people feel a little "down" in the winter, due to the shorter days and colder temperatures. But, there's a simple fix that can help: exercise! Exercise causes your brain to release endorphins—the feel-good chemicals that can improve your mood. A walking program is the perfect place to start, but any type of exercise you enjoy will boost your mood—the key is consistency.
If lack of consistency has foiled your fitness routine in the past, here are
three tips for sticking with your blues-busting winter exercise plan can help.
