When stress is getting you down, you need something to kick you out of your funk. You need something that makes you feel good. Because every time you exercise, you increase your body's production of endorphins.
In case you didn't get the memo, endorphins are responsible for those good moods you get in after a race or the euphoria you feel while chomping down on a piece of chocolate.
However, before you grab a piece of chocolate and skip the gym, remember the end result of each and choose which one will help you battle stress in the long run. (Hint: It's not the chocolate.)
