Exercise is a KEY to happiness. Research shows that people who exercise are healthier, more energetic, think more clearly, sleep better, and have delayed onset of dementia. They get relief from anxiety and mild depression. But even when you admit that you’d feel better if you exercised, it can be very hard to adopt the habit.

Join this discussion of what happens to our brain during exercise, ways to maximize happiness from exercise, and strategies to stick with your exercise goals.
