Reality: Although you start feeling somewhat tired during physical activity, you usually feel more energized afterwards.

Doing any regular physical activity can raise your overall energy levels and make you better able to handle everything you have to do during the day. Including movement breaks during the day is a great way to regulate energy levels and also to help with concentration.

"Feel-good" chemicals, known as endorphins, are released by the brain during physical activity and help to improve energy levels and mood.
