Get your sweat on

You know that feeling after you finish a workout? Sweaty and a little tired, sure, but also glorious, accomplished, energized. That! That’s why every health expert recommends a workout—aside from all the health perks, studies show a bout of exercise can also help reduce feelings of stress. It increases the production of feel-good chemicals called endorphins, which can boost mood. Whatever type of activity you like—yoga, stretching, jogging, biking, a dance video—whatever makes you happy, schedule some time to do it.
