Exercising is Not Only For Weight Loss - 5 Golden Reasons For a Workout
I'm going to tell you about the top 5 reasons to exercise your body and none of them are about becoming thinner or slimmer.
There are many reasons for exercising but weight loss shouldn't be the goal.
Let's face it we'd all like to lose some flab or fit into those pants but is that motivation enough to get into shape.
Why do we hurt ourselves to lose weight? In general what specific training you do is much less important than just doing something.
But what should you look forward to as soon as you begin exercising? Less chance of heart attack and osteoporosis: By exercising and eating right you lower your bad cholesterol, blood pressure and have an overall lower level of stress.
Training with correct form also increases bone density and thereby reduces your risk of osteoporosis.
Less depression and more self-esteem: When you are active your body produces endorphins.
Endorphins are feel good hormones and medical journals have shown that the calming and balancing effect of the endorphins can be as great as taking anti-depressant medication.
As you start feeling better your self-esteem automatically increases as well.
Clearer Mental Focus: Your brain can be considered a muscle and muscles respond well to use.
When you try new things your neurons immediately start adapting to the new challenges.
Some experts believe that exercise can prevent many diseases that come with age, such as Alzheimer's disease.
More Energy: You don't use up the body's energy by training, you increase it.
When you exercise your energy levels adapt to the greater need, the body starts building more muscles and burning fat and since you become lighter you've got more energy to spare.
The increased well-being also gives you more energy.
Strength and endurance: Muscles need to be flexed.
Whatever movement you do you're always using your muscles and the more you use them the stronger they become.
Same thing goes for your heart.
The more cardio you do, the more your heart adapts and the more stamina you get.
Don't just imagine fitting into a pair of old jeans.
Think about the overall well-being of getting into shape.
It's not supposed to be a chore; it can be anything you enjoy.
I've now given you five more reasons to increase your health.
These are not general fitness tips or a weight loss workout plan because what you do is ultimately up to you.
Don't do nothing, just do something and start enjoying the benefits of a healthier and freer lifestyle.
