I already know, you are too tired or simply don’t have enough time to exercise, right? While this may be the mentality of many people living a busy and stressful life, I believe it is important to find a way to get a little bit of exercise in on a daily basis. I am not saying you have to go to the gym or lift weights everyday, but what I am saying is anything is better than nothing!
Even a simple walk around your neighborhood or using such tactics as purposely parking farther away when you get out of your car to go grocery shopping or are running errands. These may seem like basic steps and even not sound like you are exercising but you indeed are. This is why it is important ot realize that the little things you do add up to be a lot when you stop and think about it.
With that being said, I decided to give what I feel are the top 5 beneifts to exercising. You may be surprised when you see what they are!!
1. Increased Energy
How many people out there fall in this category? How many people lack the energy needed or feel tired throughout the day or could use more energy?
Just about anyone I have talked to who does not exercise regularly lack energy and as a result suffer from some sort of bad health. This is not the coolest feeling in the world. With a good exercise program and diet that has the right macronutrients in them, you can immediately see the change in your body composition. You will be able to achieve your weight loss goals easier, display a leaner physique and feel better about your days.
2. Exercise Improves Your Mood
Exercising stimulates certain brain chemicals and can help you feel much better if you are having a stressful day. I know many people who do some form of exercise just to relieve some stress and it works like a charm.
3. Exercise Allows You to Sleep Better
Having Trouble Seeping at night? This very well could be a direct response to not exercising regularly. If you exercise regularly you will allow your body to fall asleep faster and deeper.
It is best to exercise before the time when you fall asleep. Exercising around this time may cause you to have difficulties falling asleep for the simple fact that your heart rate is accelerated and you just performed physical activity. So make sure you perform exercise at a reasonable time for the best sleep results possible.
4. Exercise Can Spice Up Your Life!
Yes, exercising regularly can bring adventure into your life! Many people stereotype exercising as being boring and going through the motions. I beg to differ as you can do a variety of things such as dancing, walking, go mountain biking and several other physical activities. If you really want to add a variety of exercises to your life that will be allow you to be on a continuous path or fun and excitement, try the Never Get Bored Training System for more details!
5. Exercise Increases Your Metabolism
So your metabolism has not been as active as you would like it to be? You are looking for a way to accelerate your metabolism and lose some weight?
Well, I have great news for you! Exercise will increase your metabolism and allow you to burn off my calories than if you were to stay sedentary. In addition, if you decide to exercise with weights, you will not only boost your metabolism, but also display a tone physique at the same time. Now I don’t know about you but having a lean physique and increasing my bodies metabolism with a little bit of weight training sounds pretty cool!
Hey I was just wondering do you do all the writing yourself or do you have guest posters. I’m enjoying your blog. Thanks.
I do have some guest bloggers like fitness expert Anthony Alayon and bodybuilding legend/best selling fitness author Lee Labrada. Most of the posting however is done by me.
Best!
