You Are Not Alone and We Are Here To Help You
Whether you realize it or not, the weather plays an important role in your mood each and every day. While sunshine can boost your mood and energy; the cold, dreary, damp weather we often have in the fall and winter in Portland, Oregon can zap both and leave you feeling depressed.
Scientists have linked the depression that coincides with a dearth of sunlight to the hormone melatonin, which regulates sleep. When sunlight fades, some of us produce copious amounts of melatonin, contributing to the drowsy, out-of-sorts feeling that can plague our fall and winter days. About 20% of Americans report feeling more depressed during the chilly season. (AskMen.com)
So, what can you do to combat this? Exercise and Nutrition are two elements you can control and both can play a huge role in improving your mood and overall health. Sure, popping a pill or laying in a tanning bed might seem easier, but both come with their own sets of side effects. Exercising can actually be fun, and enjoyable when you find the right type of exercise for you. That is where we come in to help. We offer a variety of classes and one on one or two on one personal training sessions for GYROTONIC® , GYROKINESIS® or Pilates.
Take your health into your own hands and don’t let Mother Nature get you down.
