NOT Exercising Is A DEPRESSANT
Show Notes

 “Is exercising, then, like taking an antidepressant? Not exactly. In essence, NOT exercising is like taking a depressant." - Even Happier by Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar

We don't exercise to add days to our life; we exercise to add life to our days.  Exercising, even moderately releases all sorts of happiness "Brain Chemicals", or neurochemicals. 

  1. Serotonin (5-HT)
  2. Norepnephrine (NE)
  3. Dopamine (DA)
  4. Endorphin
  5. Leptin
  6. BDNF- this one may help repair memories.... would THAT help?

Jana and I started taking dance lessons at Fred Astaire Dance Studios.
Jana discusses dancing with a little person partner.

There are So Many ways to exercise.  Do something that seems exciting to you and you will choose other exercises to help you perform better at the activity you really enjoy.

Sitting is the new smoking.  Oh no!!!
This is the Desk we use.  https://amzn.to/3LI6jFc and we put it together ourselves 😀
