It’s women’s health & fitness day

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- Working out has been proven to boost mood and get those endorphins (the feel-good hormones) going! And guess what? Today is National Women's Health & Fitness day.

The idea is to celebrate what exercise and movement can do for women's physical and mental health.

The holiday was created by the health information resource center in 2002.

For those women who have been waiting for a reason to work out, this might be the perfect day! After all, it could improve your mood, and reduce your stress and cortisol reduction.

Those who exercise regularly also report better sleep, and focus during the day.

If you choose to partake in a physical activity today, encourage others by posting it on social media, with the hashtag "women's health fitness day."
