Catch the Endorphin Wave

Exercise is the best cheer-up medicine, and all it costs is time and effort. I especially like doing stomach crunches at work. I try to do 500 a day Monday through Thursday on my lunch hour. The crunches add up over time. They help my golf game, on the rare instances when I get to play, strengthening the core. The crunches also release endorphins, those feel-good chemicals that flood the body in the hour or two after exercise.

The exercise helps me deal in a positive way with the stresses of work. The calmer I can be, the better the quality of my life.
