Lift weights & Your Spirits - Studies show that even a little bit of exercise can affect the mood - controlling parts of your brain. Try a bicep curl by standing with your feet shoulder width apart, place your arms at your side,slowly bend your arm lifting the weight towards your face,slowly return your arm to your side.Repeat the same action for the other side.Complete 12 reps each arm and the next time you have a bit of a tough day remember to reach for your free weights instead of junk food.
