More Reasons To Exercise And Stay Healthy

By Jimm Goodspel

If you think exercising isn't important think again. There are many reasons you should exercise. The obvious reason you should exercise is to maintain a healthy weight. Exercise is the biggest contributor to fat loss. If you are burning more calories than you consume you'll lose weight. Beyond weight loss there are several other reasons to exercise.

You should be exercising to avoid disease. The odds of developing diseases such as heart disease and diabetes have been proven to decrease when you exercise. Exercise can also decrease your levels of HDL cholesterol, triglyceride levels and your blood pressure. If you are at risk for a stroke exercising will decrease that risk dramatically.

Trend diets and diet pills have deceived many people into thinking that they can lose weight without exercising. As we mentioned before, you have to burn more calories than you take in. Though a proper diet is good for you, dieting alone won't lead to weight loss and there is no magic diet pill. The truth is, no pill or diet can substitute for exercise.

Feeling depressed? Instead of popping a pill; try exercising. Routine exercise releases more endorphins into the nervous system which translates into decreased depression.

In addition to increased endorphin levels, serotonin levels also increase both during and after a workout. Serotonin is associated with feelings of well being and decreased mental depression. Exercising also increases energy. Increased energy can help you be more productive at home and at work.

Maybe your self esteem could use a boost. Routine exercise can help you feel better about yourself in short period of time. If you are exercising and losing weight you will feel more confident about your looks. This new confidence will ultimately boost your self esteem.

Beginning an exercise routine doesn't have to be a daunting task. Find exercises that you enjoy and stick with it. You'll be glad you did, and you may even find that you like it and it becomes a regular part of your lifestyle. When that happens, you know you are on the right track. - 17273
