The impact of exercise on positive mental health is well established. Over 1,000 articles in medical literature show a relationship between exercise and not being depressed. Exercise can not only improve depressive symptoms, but also increase circulation to the brain, enhance endorphin production and normalize sleep patterns. An inability to get a good, full night’s sleep can impact daytime efficiency, consolidation of memory, fine motor skills and creativity.
