Today, for some reason I've been in a pretty good mood. Twice today, I actually declared my want to befriend new people. I've been in fairly high spirits, and, I gotta say, I kinda like it. It might have had something to do with the fact that I worked out today. If there's anything I've learned from watching Legally Blonde as much as I have, it's that exercising "boosts your endorphins, and endorphins make you happy!" [Oh, Reese Witherspoon.] Here's a few reasons why exercising can be awesome and can cause you to be as happy as a lawyer that dresses in pink that carries around a gay chihuahua. [Yes, I really liked the movie, what of it?]
♥ Exercise will "bring you into a totally new world and can forever positively transform your life."
♥ Exercise will tone your body. Therefore you will begin to feel better about the way you look.
♥ The brain chemistry changes while you are working out leading to feeling calm.
♥ You will feel a sense of accomplishment after each time you exercise leading to improved self-esteem.
♥ Exercise can be a healthy means of distracting yourself from your emotional pain. [That is, assuming you're sad..] Exercise can also be a means to face your emotional pain because the increased confidence will allow you to deal with internal traumas in a bold, self-assured manner.
♥ Exercise by itself is known to improve depression and anxiety. [endorphins, y'all!]
♥ Exercise has been proven to make you smarter. Therefore you will develop the skills you need to let go of your emotional pain and discover genuine happiness.

And from this day, I have concluded that I will make it a habit to hit the rec center as often as possible. I've already set up a schedule for myself. I'm excited. I think more people should be excited about working it out instead of looking at it like a chore. Make it a fun adventure; buddy up, make an awesome playlist, set a goal for yourself [work on that beach bod, ow ow!] and look forward to it instead of dreading it. You don't even have to do it every day. In fact, experts recommend giving yourself a couple of days off every week so you don't do too much.
Also, remember, getting in shape doesn't always just mean working up a sweat every day. Diet is a huge part of it all, too. But, I'll save that for another post. Happy sweating, everybody. ;D
