The benefits of exercising and weight lifting extend way beyond simply improving ones physical appearance. Studies have proved that consistent physical activity both heightens self-worth and amplifies mental productivity while contributing to improved sleep – qualities that are significantly important for adolescents and young adults.

A study of university students found a correlation between regular exercise and higher grades, attendance rate as well as academic confidence.
Additionally, a high school study reported that students who exercised regularly expressed a more positive body image and a higher willingness to engage in extracurricular activities. It was also found that these students slept better and felt less anxious and more energetic during the day than those who did not exercise regularly.
For these reasons and more, going to the gym is an idyllic way for young people to spend their time constructively while simultaneously having fun with like-minded individuals.
