I Workout When I Feel Good, Or. . .

I recently read a study done by researchers at Bowling Green University. In a nutshell, they took some obese people and followed their exercise patterns by logging whether they reported being in a good or bad mood in the morning. They found that people were more likely to exercise on days on which they reported being in a good mood in the morning.

I don’t doubt that is true. However, my experience shows that you can convert that “bad mood” into a “good mood” if you discipline yourself into exercising on the bad mood days. Doesn’t that seem more beneficial?

If you’re about to start a day with a bad mood, more often than not you can change your “destiny” for that day by exercising. A morning workout can work wonders on altering your mood for the better. So, when you see you are about to enter a day in a bad mood, get some exercise. You (and those around you) will be glad you did.
