Pinterest is one of my fave site's to search around when I have extra time... recently, I've noticed that they have lots of pins from tumblr about 'reasons to be fit.' Reason #0032 to be fit is 'for a confidence boost and to be happy with myself' and I think that is a FAB reason to get fit!
Working out releases endorphins (you feel happy!) and as you get more fit, you will gain confidence! Check out this article on exercise (& it's effects on depression) for some good info: Click here :)
And, according to WebMD-
Regular exercise has been proven to:
- Reduce stress
- Ward off anxiety and feelings of depression

Exercise also has these added health benefits:
- It strengthens your heart.
- It increases energy levels.
- It lowers blood pressure.
- It improves muscle tone and strength.
- It strengthens and builds bones.
- It helps reduce body fat.
- It makes you look fit and healthy.
So get out there & exercise! Get healthy :)
