Exercise and You
Excerpt from
the Introduction: Benefits of Exercise
The benefit of exercise
is great for you body and mind. Many people think of all
the things that exercise helps with but they never consider
that one of the benefits of exercise is actually a positive
thing for the mind. Exercise should not be taken lightly;
by exercising you can increase your own lifespan dramatically.
A person that is overweight will tend to die before a
person that is at the right weight for their age.
The Mind - One
of the biggest benefit of exercise is of the mind. A person
can sink into a deep depression when they begin to gain
weight or just stop exercising. However, the moment they
begin exercising it does something to the mind, gives
them a bit of a boost of self-confidence. One of the worse
seasons for the human body is winter, this is because
many of us tend to stay indoors where it is warm and sit
around. This not only lets us think of all the things
we could be doing but lets in our inner demons. If we
were out more and exercising we wouldn't think about these
type of things. By exercising we are doing something healthy,
probably walking around with a smile on our face and actually
increasing the oxygen in our blood which keeps us active.
Staying healthy
- Staying healthy is a big benefit of exercise. You are
actually helping your bones, joints and muscles when you
exercise. By exercising regularly and eating healthy you
will also be able to reduce the risk of Osteoporosis,
which is when the bone weakens and break easily as you
grow older.
Lose weight -
One main benefit of exercise for most people is the fact
you can lose weight. This is great for those that are
overweight but you should always ask your doctor before
trying any exercise if you haven't already been doing
it.
Increases Life
- Possibly the most important benefit of exercise that
I can think of, is the fact that it can reduce the risk
of heart disease and premature death. What person wouldn't
want to exercise if they knew that it would let them live
longer? If you already know that exercise helps your chances
than why does it take a life-altering experience before
most people decide that it is time to exercise? Many people
tend to steer away from exercise because they just don't
want to do it or they never have any time. Exercise doesn't
have to take time; in fact you can actually incorporate
it into your daily life. You don't have to go to the gym
to do it, that's one thing; many people think they have
to do to stay healthy.
Here are three things
you can do to stay healthy and get the benefits of exercise:
As you can see, exercise
can be done many ways from the comforts of your own home
or anywhere. You just have decide that it is something
you want and stick with it. Stay healthy and live longer…exercise
