You are no stranger to the benefits of aerobic exercise. It can improve your mood, immune system, and make you look great! Recent studies have indicated including both meditation and exercise together into your daily routine can exponentially increase the benefits. One study indicates combining both together can reduce clinical depression by up to 40%! Why is this?

So what are some tools and ways to meditate and achieve all these awesome benefits? We have a few ideas for you!
