Episode 38: Why exercise is good for our psyche
Exercise has a positive effect on our body and on our psyche. More and more studies are pointing to this. In this episode, we have coach and yoga teacher Fjodor Kendzierski as a guest, who takes a closer look with us at the effects of sport on our well-being and explains how much exercise we need and how we can manage to get moving even when we don't have enough time.
Your thoughts are racing, your body is under pressure and everything is stressful? When you exercise, your body releases endorphins, helps to reduce stress hormones such as cortisol and improves the quality of your sleep. In short: exercise affects our whole body and mind and strengthens our mental well-being.
But we often find it difficult to start exercising overnight - and to stick to it even more. A busy schedule or simply a lack of motivation prevent us from getting on the treadmill or putting on our jogging shoes. Yet exercise is important when we have a desk job and our bodies suffer from sedentary "work". And sport is also an important "to do" to stay mobile into old age.
In this podcast episode we discuss:
- What effect does movement have on our lives?
- Which sport suits me best: yoga, weight training, jogging or cardio?
- Train in the morning or in the evening?
- How can I stay mobile into old age?
- How much exercise is good to start with?
- How do I integrate sport into my everyday life and make it a habit?
- Practical tips for people with little time
