As some of you might have figured out, I’m a runner. Running is an incredibly effective form of exercise, and one that has benefits both physical and mental.

According to the CDC, endurance exercises like running help lower your risk of cardiovascular disease. See this link for more information:http://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/basics/pa-health/

The CDC also suggests that there are mental health benefits associated with running. See this link for more: http://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/basics/pa-health/index.htm#ImproveMentalHealth
