Sweat trainer Kelsey Well's legs and glutes workout was recently shared on Instagram. "Working out during times of stress can play a big role in maintaining your health and overall well-being," reads the caption of the post and we couldn't agree more.
Exercise has been found to be an effective tool against stress, anxiety and depression.

The release of endorphins can make you feel light-hearted and give you mental clarity throughout the day.
