Monday is a great day for a
workout. We can wake up energized
from the weekend, anxious about the day and week ahead, tired from too much
fun, but no matter how we feel, a workout is a good idea.
For one thing, our metabolisms
can use the boost. Interval
training and weight work can stoke our inner fires and help us burn more
calories, even when we have to sit at our desks later.
Working out stimulates our brains
to work better and smarter. It
decreases anxiety and depression while increasing positive moods. That part is science. The part where we can take out our
aggression by slamming medicine balls or kick-boxing at imaginary targets is
anecdotal, but satisfying.
Then there is that sitting at a
desk part. Our bodies are not
designed for long periods of inactivity.
Giving them a recess from all that stillness is good for our health.
Go play!
