Shawn Phillips : Strength Training: Good for Your Mind & Mood

"Training stimulates endorphins, neurotransmitters, and neurotrophic growth factors your brain thrives on, making you feel good during and immediately following training. Scientists are now discovering long-term positive effects of regular strength training: it makes your neurons more robust while improving blood flow, oxygen and nutrients to your brain." ~ Shawn Phillips from Strength for Life

I have to admit, this is probably the #1 reason I train. I like to create. I know that if I'm going to bring my best to the world, I must optimize my body. That's a given.

How about you?

More from Shawn Phillips in Strength for Life: "Michael Craig Miller, M.D., editor in chief of the Harvard Mental Health Letter, summarizes what scientists have been uncovering for several decades, regular training "improves your mood, decreases anxiety, improves sleep and resilience in the face of stress and raises self-esteem." He adds that exercise itself makes for a "pretty good anti-depressant too, equal to drugs or psychotherapy in some studies."

That. Is a good thing. :)
