Effects of Exercise on Mood
Everybody now knows how that physical activity and feelings or energy are integrally related.
Moderate exercise raises energy temporary, and physical conditioning through long term exercise leads to sustained levels of higher energy.
Of course too much physical activity can reduce energy but the low levels of physical activity that modern people maintain usually do not reach that point of diminishing energy, except in short term exertion or in conjunction with health problems.
Exercise also can reduce tension, although this mood relationship with exercise is not as clear as the exercise association.
In any event, the mood effects of exercise have been evident in study after study.
Therefore, in managing moods it is essential to be fully aware of how physical activity affects you.
