Tip to beat the blues

Ever have one of those days where you just don't feel like getting off the bed? Feeling reasonably blue and down in the dumps and would rather simply skip out on life than hassle?

Well, I am here to tell you that's exactly what you SHOULD do (and then some) so as to beat that feeling of "having the blues".

One amongst the foremost mood elevating things you'll be able to do for yourself when you are having 'one of these days' is to urge up, get out and get a sensible workout in.

Yup, that's right. Do the exact opposite of what you FEEL like doing and you may almost definitely FEEL BETTER at the tip of it.

It has been proven time and time again that working out gets your endorphins racing and increases levels of serotonin in your brain, that in turn elevates your mood.

Therefore get outside (or stay inside at the gym if you need to, however I highly recommend obtaining recent air for getting a sensible mood on). Once you're there, START MOVING.

There's thus several ways that to urge exercise that I can not even barely begin to list them all here. However here's a few suggestions:

You could select a quick powerwalk, run or a bicycle ride. Rollerblading or cross-country skiing are smart ideas too.

If you'll notice a lovely place to do your cardio, like a beach, a wooded trail or a snowy mountaintop, that is going to assist too. Who does not feel nice at the beach, on a mountain or within the woods? It does not even have to be a very long session to induce that mood elevating effect. Twenty minutes ought to do the trick.

Or attempt lifting some weights or doing some bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges and pushups if you do not have any formal strength training equipment.

You'll be able to even mix the cardio element and therefore the strength training part by doing a little supercircuits with things like burpees and mountain climbers that get your heart racing but offer your muscles a pump at the same time.

Even swimming will be fun and get that body moving and that heart rate up sufficiently. Do some laps at the pool or down at the beach.
