Q&A
Both! Exercise is proven to improve both your physical and mental health. Exercise will build lean muscles, make you stronger and cleanse your body physically. Mentally, exercise will create a "feel good" feeling and lift any feelings of sadness or stress. It's a two in one deal!
Myth Buster
This is not true! Sweat does not define the intensity or exertion during your exercise! Sweating is simply your body's natural instinct to cool itself down. You can be biking or running in the cold weather, getting the same result as sweating in a hot gym!
