At Wellworkx, we're passionate about helping you feel your best, and today we're diving into how exercise can be a game-changer for your mood.

How much exercise do you need? A groundbreaking study in JAMA Psychiatry found that just 15 minutes of running or an hour of brisk walking daily can decrease your odds of developing depression by a whopping 26%! That's a small time investment for a big mental health payoff.
The Science Behind the Smile
Ever heard of a "runner's high"? It's not just a myth! When you exercise, your body releases endorphins - those feel-good chemicals that boost your mood. Plus, the increased heart rate triggers norepinephrine, a chemical that helps your brain better manage stress.
Exercise Options for Every Mood
At Sitflexx, we believe in finding joy in movement. Here are some mood-boosting exercise options to try:
Remember, even small amounts of movement count. Taking the stairs instead of the elevator or doing some housework can positively impact your mood.
Starting Small, Winning Big
If you're dealing with depression or anxiety, the idea of exercising might feel overwhelming. That's okay! Start small with achievable goals and gradually increase your activity levels.
The key is consistency - aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise 5 days a week. Use the SITFLEXX throughout the day at your dest or in front of where you are sitting.
