The Risen Fallen Podcast

We have all heard of a bunch of the benefits of exercising, but what are some of the benefits we have been overlooking?   I wanted to speak about some of said overlooked benefits today, let me know if you have any of your own!

This is something that I was told a long time ago, and something that I was told and taught growing up playing sports.   However, I completely forgot about it until recently I read more about this topic in a book that I am currently reading.   I’m excited to hear some feedback in regards to what YOU think about this!

Everyone always tells you that you need to take care of yourself. Whether you’re doing it or not sometimes… However, what does that even look like? How do you know if what you’re doing is considered that? This is something that is said to have a massive impact on your mental health!
