A gymnasia workout features activities that raise the heart rate, increase the pulse rate and rev up metabolism. The physical exertion also helps condition the mind, as students will realise they can think more clearly and can focus better in their studies following a good workout. Besides, the development of physical skills increases the self-esteem of individuals.

The physical exertion involved in the gymnasium results in endorphin production in the brain. Endorphins are the "feel good" hormones that improve mood and outlook. Students who engage in robust gym activity benefit from the release of endorphins.

The physical activity becomes fun. The endorphins' effects allow students to proceed to their class feeling cheerful, relaxed and ready to focus on learning new ideas.
