At FIT4MOM, we believe running is more than a workout—it's a celebration of movement, strength, and freedom. Whether you're lacing up for the first time or prepping for your next race, running is one of the most accessible and adaptable forms of fitness. No matter what stage you are at - pregnant, newly postpartum, or a seasoned stroller-striding mama, we're here to support you every step of the way.

Originally posted on June 5, 2023 by FIT4MOM
Have you ever heard another mom say something like, “running saved my life” and wondered what she meant? She probably was referring to the amount of mental clarity she receives after a great movement session!
That's right, Mama... running helps you physically, but did you know that running can actually help you emotionally and mentally, too? Yes, the fabled “runner’s high” is real!
Studies have shown that cardio training—like running—helps moms of all ages and stages of motherhood reduce the risk of anxiety, depression, dementia, and insomnia. Exercise produces neurotransmitters such as epinephrine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. These fun molecules influence your energy levels, thoughts, and emotions. In fact, norepinephrine is the chemical that helps moderate the brain's response to stress, helping you release some of the mental strain of mom life (yes, please!).
Additionally, studies show that running can help you improve overall brain performance—think decision-making, higher thinking, productivity, creativity, and learning.
