Benefits of Working Out & Its Relation to Sobriety
There are countless physical and psychological advantages of incorporating a workout routine into your overall recovery plan during addiction treatment. First and foremost, exercise can trigger your brain to produce endorphins. These endorphins can help you feel better physically and emotionally, which helps to reduce your stress level at the same time. Feeling better in both capacities can go a long way in helping you to remain focused on your recovery.
