Although it may not be the be-all-and-end-all of finding happiness, there is a mountain of research that suggests that exercise plays a role in mental and emotional well-being, and yes, being happy. I know personally that my anxiety is managed better when I exercise, and hitting the gym or the pavement for a walk or run also helps when I am in a dark place.

Today’s photo is of  a message on the wall at my gym this morning. A gentle reminder of why we need to exercise, and the many benefits.
