Although it has been scientifically proven that working out makes us feel happier due to the release of the ‘happy’ hormone endorphins, culturally, it is somewhat still considered to be some sort of myth. In that case, we thought we’d try a different approach to proving to you that working out and exercise does make us all feel better and more likely to feel like smiling! Here, we’ve put together a compilation of pictures showing celebrities who love working out, and we hope this will motivate you to do the same also!
