Exercise Makes You Happier!

We all know that happiness cures. Laughter and smiles can wipe away depression, stress and anxiety instantly. These three mental disorders can cause other issues and possibly chronic diseases. It is a known fact that exercise, especially CrossFit, can make you feel happier by improving your mood. Exercise releases those happy hormones known as endorphins. These hormones produce good feelings and reduce the feeling of pain.
