Oh yeah thats a great point and from that perspective its an important aspect of self care and really giving yourself attention

“I exercise to burn off the crazy” 😂 yes, Ma’am!

i look like a superhero rn its nice

I thought this was going to go differently at first but it is all of the above

I have a basic human need to exercise! That covers it perfectly! 😂

This is beautiful! I often say that I exercise 100% for my mental health; and all the other benefits r bonus. But I love this idea that I exercise to connect with myself! I am gonna add that to my self-talk. U r right: as a society, we understand the importance of connecting with others. This is a good reminder that the connection with ourselves in equally important: thank u!

I workout to feel good & especially lately as my 17 yr old son affecting my health with his foolish behavior & I been feeling burnt out, even when I workout it’s hard at times & my mind is think about everything, but I feel better when done, I got me healing crystals to help me too & it does🥰💗💗💗

Burn off the crazy… oh, yes! 😂 But also I find the mind-body connection value so much… while burning off the crazy! 😉💜

I exercise because it is fun and I love it! It also helps my mental health and it relieves anxiety.

I exercise because it makes me happy 😊

Great question! I never thought about the brain/body connection in literal terms. It makes perfect sense! Thanks!

I miss seeing your new routines

I exercise to reduce stress and because I love it.

Yes!! Love this, thank you 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

I exercise so I don’t get pain

I’m so glad you addressed this. I’ve never been successful at losing weight with exercise. My diet has helped me loose weight. I love exercising when I can fit it in. It helps me manage stress and feel good.
