I always feel calmer when I exercise. In fact, that's probably the main reason I exercise.

I think if you exercise, your state of mind - my state of mind - is usually more at ease, ready for more mental challenges. Once I get the physical stuff out of the way it always seems like I have more calmness and better self-esteem.

Exercise is like an old friend: You may not be able to see that friend all the time, but you're not mad when you see them, you're happy, and you get right back into it.

I like to meditate. But I get rid of my stress at the gym.

Exercise is amazing, from the inside out. I feel so alive and have more energy.

A lot of exercise is mindless; you can have music or the radio on and not be aware. But if you're aware in anything you do - and it doesn't have to be yoga - it changes you. Being present changes you.

Exercise keeps me occupied, which is good for my mental health.

When I exercise, I need to connect to myself and see how I'm feeling at the moment because my mood is constantly changing.

As long as my body is in shape, my mind is working at its full capacity.
