Togetherness – fights pain, increases fun

A study at Oxford University shows that exercising together appears to increase the level of the feel-good endorphin hormones naturally released during physical exertion.  An unexpected result perhaps, though it reinforces the notion that team work is more productive than individual performance.

We know that teams can be synergistic, that is 1 + 1 = more than 2 and that integral systems in business and society are more stable and resilient than discrete systems, but it is interesting to see that our hormones know this too!
