15 Ways Exercise Is Better Than Therapy
It's a popular saying: "exercise is like therapy." But here are 15 reasons to prove it's even better!
It's Way Cheaper
Ranting to your exercise buddy between reps doesn't cost you a dime.
You'll Burn More Calories
Sitting on your ass in your therapist's chair won't burn calories — so complain to an exercise buddy instead and you'll have a cute butt to show for it.
There Are No Furry Therapists
Four-legged exercise buddies may GET you even more than two-legged ones.
Sweat It Out and Weep
If you cry, no one can tell the difference between your tears and sweat, especially in the rain, snow, or between splashes. You can also blame your tears on your super tough and gut-wrenching workout.
This Is Way Better Than an Office
You can do it anywhere, and you get to choose the view — no stuffy offices here.
Your Time Is Never Up
You choose when the session ends. Maybe it's 20 minutes. Maybe it's 20 miles.
No Appointment Necessary
Any time of day works, even if it's 4 in the morning.
It Instantly Relieves Stress
99.9 percent of the time you''ll feel better afterward, not worse.
It Makes You Stronger, Inside and Out
The physical torture has a way of alleviating your emotional pain.
Exercise = Happiness
No pills involved, and the only side effect is endorphins.
Me Time Is a Powerful Thing
Sometimes a little alone time is all you need.
It Takes a Village
Then again, sometimes the more people involved, the better you feel.
No Judgments
No one cares if you haven't showered for days and show up in your PJs.
It Doesn't Have to Take Much
Sometimes just the act of showing up is enough; no talking, no sweating, no moving required.
Free Endorphins!
Can't beat that!
