Recess.tv makes it easier than ever to work out anytime, anywhere. Getting a workout in is a great way to increase your energy, reduce stress, and feel ready to take on the day. But did you know there are benefits to getting that workout in during your lunch break?
Check out the 5 benefits of a midday workout below to make sure both you and your fitness game are staying strong!
1. Wake up your brain and body.
Avoid that 2 o’clock nap time feeling by fitting in a midday workout. Working up a sweat is better (and healthier) than having that midday cup of coffee! After that sweat sesh, you can be sure you’ll feel more energized and ready to tackle your next big project or work deadline. Follow it up with a nutritious meal or snack, or post-workout recovery tip, to reap extra benefits.
2. Improve your mood.
Exercise at any time of the day releases chemicals in the brain related to an uplift in mood and decrease in stress. The benefit of scheduling a midday workout? It allows you to reset and refresh in the middle of the day, letting go of any morning chaos and preparing you to finish the day strong.
