Be Active, Be Happy!

Now and then, I’ll dabble into the healthy aspects of living an active lifestyle.  According to a new study from the University of Vermont, a mere 20-minute workout helps people feel upbeat for the next 12 hours.  That’s right, 12 hours!  Researchers say the workout acts as an antidepressant alleviating anger and anxiety and putting you in a good frame of mind.  So if that spectacular mountain vista, sweeping singletrack ride, or salt water splashed on your face while sea kayaking doesn’t do the trick, those endorphins zipping through your body will certainly help.  get up & go this weekend!
