I strive to workout almost everyday. Working out keeps not only my body healthy but my mind as well. since I have made exercise a priority I have noticed a significant improvement in my energy levels and mood. although, working out is not only been beneficial in this way but its also been a way for me and my boyfriend to connect. we go to the gym together and piggyback off each others motivation and encouragement to achieve our goals, I believe this has brought us closer as a couple and goes to show how exercise can incorporate personal values to make not only your body stronger but your entire life.
