Did you know that exercise actually lessens the breakdown of brain matter and increases the size of the hippocampus?

Those who exercise on a regular basis have better motor coordination compared with people with a sedentary lifestyle.
Physical activity is one of the most effective ways to manage stress.
Studies show that exercise is the best way to improve academic performance other than studying.

REMEMBER TO: Turn exercise into a stress-relieving break! Make exercise fun, challenging in a rewarding way, and designed around your needs!
