Working out daily helps you be happier. When you go out for a run, do pushups, or dance like no one’s watching, your brain releases “happy hormones” called endorphins. These are naturally-produced chemicals that help you experience joy. If it’s your first time working out, it’s good to take things slow. The CDC recommends starting with 30 minutes of moderate to intense exercise per day. This is all it takes to experience benefits such as reduced stress, improved sleep, a healthier body image, and improved self-esteem.
