Healthy Healing: A Guide to Working Out Grief Using the Power of Exercise and Endorphins

When author Michelle Steinke-Baumgard's husband died in a plane accident, she found herself grief-stricken and alone at 35. But she was able to find a way back to the world through an unlikely means: exercise. Though it's common to shut down and withdraw when we're struggling with grief, by getting back out there and by taking care of ourselves, we can become more resilient. Getting physically fit in the wake of tragedy not only will help your body get stronger, but it will give it the strength and energy it needs to fight off depression. Beyond that, endorphins are a chemical our bodies produce when we exercise which helps us overcome the physical strain we are putting on our bodies, but it has the double effect of making us feel better mentally as well. By following Steinke-Baumgard's program, you too can start training your way out of your grief and getting physically and mentally fit all at once.
