Studies show that your personality changes based on whether or not you workout. Article was in @incmagazine today where they did a study ? on 9,000 people and they found that “An inactive lifestyle doesn’t just impact your body, it impacts your personality too–and not for the better.” .
.
The study, “found that subjects who reported being less active had greater reductions on average in conscientiousness, openness, agreeableness, and extroversion–four of the so-called Big Five personality traits–even after accounting for differences in baseline personality and health. No link was found with the fifth trait, neuroticism,” reports Scientific American.

IF that’s not enough to get you moving at least 30 minutes a day I don’t know what will. ..
Why Should We Exercise? Fitness
Fitness is definitely something every busy person needs to prioritize in their lives. As someone who works full time and has a husband, daughter, home ? and other responsibilities it is easy for me to say “well I don’t have time today.” .

.Parenting Hack 101: A great way to catch up with your teenager is to take a walk or invite her to some exercise class with you. I have learned that if you are doing some activity outside the home ? with your teen, it is easier to get them to talk to you. .

As a result of booking an exercise class to go kickboxing ? at a place like @keithcookestudio or ?♀️ on a treadmill to @burn60studios or ? @bodybysimone or a powerplate class @platefit you will end up in the car ? driving to the class which will give you another opportunity to talk to your teen.
