Total-Body Benefits of Blast Abs & Chest Workout

Confidence: Sometimes self-esteem issues are tied to body perception. Regular exercise helps build confidence by improving our body image. While exercising you're likely to strengthen and tone your body, and seeing these results can greatly improve your self-esteem and help you feel better about the way you look. 

To protect yourself and your brain from stress, you release a protein called BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor). This BDNF has a protective and also reparative element to your memory neurons and acts as a reset switch. That's why we often feel so at ease and things are clear after exercising and eventually happy. When you exercise, it increases endorphins, dopamine, adrenaline and endocannabinoid - these are all brain chemicals associated with feeling happy, feeling confident, feeling capable, feeling less anxiety and stress and even less physical pain.

Exercise and confidence can really...

Improve your Mental Health - by building physical strength, exercise can really make a difference. It's been shown to reduce depression, anxiety and negative moods as well as alleviate low self-esteem and social withdrawal.

Reduce stress - any form of exercise, from aerobics to strength training to yoga, can act as a stress reliever. Physical activity in any form boosts feel-good endorphins and distracts the mind from daily stresses.

Gain a Sense of Accomplishment - one of the biggest payoffs of exercise is that, through focus and physical movement, you're able to feel a strong sense of accomplishment. Whether you beat an old time in the 100-meter dash or add time to your daily walk, exercise can give you a sense of pride at having achieved a particular goal.

Improve your Brain Function - during endurance exercise, a molecule called Irisin is produced in the brain through a chain reaction. Scientists believe it has neuroprotective effects and can activate genes involved in memory and learning.

Start Feeling Better - in the short-term, exercise has been shown to enhance our mood and influence our minds toward adopting more positive thoughts. In the long-term, physical exercise can improve our confidence by making us feel good about our physique and abilities. Combine strength training, cardio and flexibility-building disciplines like yoga to reap the benefits of an all over approach to fitness.
