Adverse mental health can trigger a lack of self-esteem, and training is one way to boost confidence. The Journal of Health Psychology shined a light on the fact that using physical activity in a time of stress dramatically helps the mind. The mind, body, and spirit are all connected, so to keep all of them in order; you have to focus on all three. After finishing a workout, the sense of accomplishment is not the only positive. Plata states, “exercise also triggers the release in powerful neurochemicals like endorphins, serotonin, and norepinephrine.” Zumba is a world-renown dance program that created the “Before and After series.” The CEO of Zumba decided to take photos of individuals before and after their Zumba workout. The images clearly depict the happiness and smiles that can be felt after that sense of achievement. After much research, it was found that Zumba has been shown to help with anxiety, stress, postpartum depression, and PTSD. Plata explains that through exercise, it has been demonstrated to researchers, fitness advocates, and wellness companies that the conversation of mental health and the positive connection to exercise should be open for everyone. The “Before and After” series is just one glimpse into how mental illness can be helped. Staying on top of one’s physical health can ultimately lead to more substantial mental health. If you are getting stronger physically, why not get strong mentally too.Plata, Mariana.
