Exercise is one of the physical dimensions of self-care which has many benefits including :

Exercise improves moods by releasing endorphins, which help with mood by boosting one's confidence and way of feeling good about themselves. One's sleep can improve, in addition to reducing stress by decreasing the levels of stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline. It also improves brain health and protects against age-related cognitive degeneration. One feels less fatigues and more energized upon participating in exercise activities.
