Exercise fosters social connectedness by providing opportunities for individuals to engage with others in a shared activity, whether through group classes, team sports, or community events. Building relationships in fitness settings can enhance motivation, accountability, and enjoyment. Additionally, social interactions during exercise can alleviate feelings of loneliness and promote a sense of belonging. This positive social network can contribute to improved mental well-being, increased commitment to fitness goals, and an overall enhanced quality of life through supportive communities.
