  1. Fitness Makes You Feel Good

    C’Mon, Get Happy: Fitness Makes You Feel Good

    Being fit and being happy have a lot in common.

    Or maybe it’s better to say they have a lot to do with each other.

    We know that exercise improves our mood, fights depression, and gives us purpose – along with, you know, making our bodies move, feel and look better.

    But fitness and happiness share another trait: We all have to take action to get them and keep them. And we’ve found a novel way to keep this top of mind. Exercise ranks in the Top 10 activities necessary for happiness, at any age, according to the book “10 Keys to Happier Living” by Vanessa King, a UK expert on positive psychology available on ActionForHappiness.org.

    Here’s a handy reminder of the 10, GREAT DREAM:

    1. Giving
    2. Relating
    3. Exercising
    4. Awareness
    5. Trying Out
    1. Direction
    2. Resilience
    3. Emotions
    4. Acceptance
    5. Meaning

    Reams of research back it up: Exercise is a key to maintaining a high quality of life. Particularly after 50, it’s essential to keep us independent, healthy, happy and out of the doldrums that can overtake so many people later in life.

    In addition to important research, we also like the simple, direct approach of people like Sue, who told us at age 68: “Exercise makes me feel good. It puts me with positive people. I do it because it’s fun.”

    So, like The Partridge Family told us on TV so many years ago, “Come on, get happy!”
