“Exercise does a fantastic job of producing and firing endorphins around the body, which are the body’s feel-good hormones. Exercise has also been found to reduce stress hormones, which help foster relaxation. And when we feel good, we think good, and when we think good, we feel good. So it’s a virtuous cycle and exercise can help us to let go of stress and tension, while also giving our brain time to recharge.” – Matt Hughes
