We know how we feel so good after exercising? There's a reason for this.Just as we get more energy exercising you also get happier! When you exercise your body gets rid of stress and you don't feel as tense as before exercising. Someone who exercise regularly are less prone to get depressed than someone who doesn't.

We all can recite the multiple benefits of exercise. It jump-starts good moods and protects us from heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, back pain, obesity, and certain kinds of diabetes. But did you know that exercise also gives a boost to your creativity. Physical activity gets your mind into the bodily experience, so that subconscious connections can pop up.If you take breaks—what we call ‘idle time,’ ideally spent in solitary activities, such as walking, running, or biking—your mind frees up to cross-fertilize so that when you return....

...to intellectual pursuits, you’re far better at connecting ideas that at first glance don’t seem to be obvious or even related.That’s because exercise can literally change your brain to get your creative juices flowing. When you work out, your body flushes out cortisol, the hormone that helps trigger the “fight or flight” response when you’re stressed.

Meanwhile, your pituitary gland releases endorphins, which can produce the feel-good “runner’s high.” Exercise also promotes the growth of new nerve cells and synapses through elevating levels of neurotrophins (a chemical that fosters the growth of new nerve endings) and by increasing oxygen in the blood, which helps provide mental energy.

Tips for creative boosts

·         Pick a low-concentration exercise that allows your mind to wander, such as brisk walking, swimming laps, hiking, or running. Sports, such as golf or tennis, or team activities, like soccer or basketball require too much strategizing or in-the-moment focus.

·         Exercise for a decent duration—at least 30 minutes.

·         Unless you and a partner plan to brainstorm on a shared project, exercise alone.

·         Bring a notepad or tape recorder so you can jot down brilliant ideas.

·         Get to work right after you return, while your creative juices are flowing. The shower can wait!
