Hello and welcome to Two For You. So you may wonder what we're doing out here on
snowshoes and how this pertains to you
as a community leader. So you might
already know or many of us know right, 
the physical benefits of exercising. It's
good for our hearts. It's good for our
lungs, all the kind of physical things
that happening.
But research is also really sharing how
it's good for our mental health as well.
Right, Kelly McGonigal writes about the
benefits of exercise and what she notes
is that one of the benefits you have
when you exercise is that you have the
release of endocannabinoids. It's a fun
word. But what it does it basically
mellows you out and by mellowing you out
and reducing your stress level it opens
you up to more relationships and better
connections with others. Yeah, so this
month when you're feeling stressed and
you're like you know I don't really know
about,
I don't like feel like going for it, I
you know I don't want to go for that
long run or go for a snowshoe. Get out
there give it a try and add a friend.
Right, so it makes us feel more connected
and can increase our overall well-being.
This month, go for it. Create that trust,
the belonging, the connection. Do it with
a friend
