1. Happy Chemicals
One word, endorphins! This chemical, which
makes us feel happy, is released when we
exercise. You don’t have to hit the gym to
release endorphins either. You can still get
those happy chemicals from a long stroll and
yoga.
After your mood-boosting yoga class, try an
which contains all
the calcium you need for muscle contraction
and replenishment. Blend with ice to create
a chilled smoothie that’ll leave you feeling
refreshed too!
2. Self Confidence
One of the best benefits of hitting our
favourite cardio class is your increased
confidence and self-esteem. Group cardio
classes are a great way to lose weight and gain
a massive boost of self-confidence. If your
energy levels drop mid-exercise make sure
you carry a high-protein bar on you just in
case. One of our customer’s favourites is our
Perfect for a mid or
post-workout!
3. Boost Brainpower
Could exercise make you smarter? Research
says yes. Adding more 30 minute workouts
into your day can boost your productivity
and concentration by pumping extra blood
to your brain. This delivers the oxygen and
nutrients it needs to perform at max efficiency.
Now that’s smart.
4. Reduced Anxiety and Relaxation
Forget relaxation techniques, apps, or bubble
baths, to relieve anxiety all you need is 20
minutes of exercise a day! A long walk or even
a hilly hike, whichever you chose will release
warm and fuzzy chemicals during and after
exercise – making you feel calmer.
5. Sharper Memory
Want to learn new things quickly? The
surprising solution is a daily dose of exercise!
Yes, research says that getting sweaty in
the gym can really boost your memory
cells! So, whether you want to boost your
productiveness at work, or learn a new
language, exercise is the key.
6. Creativity
This one is really surprising.
You wouldn’t expect to have
heightened creativity after a
run, but apparently it’s true.
After a heart-pumping 30min
– 1 hour workout we can
feel more creative for up to 2
hours after! So, if you’ve got
a creative project and want a
burst of creative thinking try
going for a long walk or run.
After all that exercise, the
best way to replenish is with
an Exante Protein Shake.
Try our refreshing
This shake can
be used as part of our Total
Solution or
plans to promote weight loss
or complement a calorie-
controlled diet.
From hitting the gym doing cardio
or weight training, to walking more
steps, the benefits we want from
exercising are always improved health
and fitness, muscle strength or weight
loss. But, what if working out gave us
unexpected benefits that are just as
amazing for our bodies, but minds too ?
Hiking is a great
exercise to get
healthier bones; super
strong glutes, greater
balance and co-
ordination, and your
mood will be boosted
in the process! Don’t
forget to take an
with you to enjoy on
top of the mountain!
