Fitness expert explains benefits of gym
Mpho Mudau said he started the gym to improve his mental health. Viva Gym personal trainer Tumelo Setsetse told Briefly News that exercise helps with promoting feelings of happiness. He said:
"Physical activity stimulates the release of endorphins. These endorphins help to reduce stress levels and improve mood, which can help individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues."
Aside from the mental benefits, working out also strengthens the heart. Tumelo told Briefly News:
"Exercise reduces the risk of chronic diseases by improving cardiovascular health. An increase in blood circulation can reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other related diseases."
