Why Exercise Is Better Than Therapy

It's a popular saying:  "exercise is like therapy".  But here are 15 reasons to prove it's even better!

It's Way Cheaper

Ranting to your exercise buddy between reps doesn't cost you a dime.

 

You'll Burn More Calories

Sitting on your ass in your therapist's chair won't burn calories — so complain to an exercise buddy instead and you'll have a cute butt to show for it.

 

There Are No Furry Therapists

Four-legged exercise buddies may GET you even more than two-legged ones.

 

Sweat It Out and Weep

If you cry, no one can tell the difference between your tears and sweat, especially in the rain, snow, or between splashes.  You can also blame your tears on your super tough and gut-wrenching workout.

 

This Is Way Better Than an Office

You can do it anywhere, and you get to choose the view — no stuffy offices here.

 

Your Time Is Never Up

You choose when the session ends.  Maybe it's 20 minutes.  Maybe it's 20 miles.

 

No Appointment Necessary

Any time of day works, even if it's 4 in the morning.

 

It Instantly Relieves Stress

99.9 percent of the time you''ll feel better afterward, not worse.

 

It Makes You Stronger, Inside and Out

The physical torture has a way of alleviating your emotional pain.

 

Exercise = Happiness

No pills involved, and the only side effect is endorphins.

 

Me Time Is a Powerful Thing

Sometimes a little alone time is all you need.

 

It Takes a Village

Then again, sometimes the more people involved, the better you feel.

 

No Judgments

No one cares if you haven't showered for days and show up in your PJs.

 

It Doesn't Have to Take Much

Sometimes just the act of showing up is enough;  no talking, no sweating, no moving required.

 

Free Endorphins!

Can't beat that!
