Stay Fit & Healthy during Covid-19 Quarantine

It’s so important in this time to stay in a good exercise routine and stay healthy. Exercise has been shown to improve your mood, decrease depression, stress and anxiety. Working out produces changes in the parts of the brain that regulate anxiety and stress and it can increase the production of endorphins, which help increase positive feelings.
