Workout Mania

Today my daughter and I worked out with our personal trainer, aka Ms. Muscles. What a workout it was! Sheryl always pushes us to our very limit, and the only thing that keeps us going sometimes is the protein shake at the end of the tunnel. Truth is, a tough workout like that is just what the doctor ordered, on many levels.

For people going through divorce, a good workout helps them relieve the stress they are going through. It also helps them focus on something else for a change, and creates endorphins in the brain, which leads to a great feeling when you are done! Moreover, getting divorced means that soon you will be newly single, and getting back into the dating world at some point. (But don't rush yourself!) Regular workouts help us get back into shape, and make us physically stronger.

Do yourself a favor as you go through this major life change. Find a physical activity you like to do, and stick with it! You'll be glad you did.

Fantastic point. Great workouts always seem to bring things into perspective. Lifting weights and aerobic activity can be therapeutic as they give your mind and much needed break. Thus relieving stress and unleashing one's creative powers as one sculpts and redefines a more powerful and confident stature. So, press on, move forward and face your challenges head on. Exercise regularly and progress your mind and body forward, one step at a time.

Thanks Mindy! You are incredible.
