How Daily Exercise Can Better Your Mental Health

Increase Social Interaction

Yes, you can exercise in the comfort of your home if you choose. However, when your mental health is poor, exercise is a great way to incorporate social interaction into your schedule without becoming overwhelmed. Thus, exercising at a gym or taking a fitness class at a studio helps you be around others without too much pressure for conversation unless you want to engage. The mere presence of others during your exercise can be enough to boost your mood. Find a supportive environment that works for you! You can even bring a friend along to the class or the gym to help increase your comfort if this is something that makes you uncomfortable.
