If you knew the benefits of regular exercise, you’d run out of the house early every day to do it, and get it over with. What ever is your choice, walking, jogging, or dance, (then add some weight training to it).
Find the form of exercise you like the best. Investigate and research. ( That line dance class is great on every level, and the most fun.) When you find the one that is right for you, you’ll stick with it. And, stick with it for you.
So when your friends don’t show up, or call with excuses, you can still go the have a great time, knowing you are doing it for you! Regular exercise can be your hedge against diabetes, back pain, heart disease, and be just the stress management program you’ve needed all along. Take a deep breath here.
If you’ve not exercised in a while you’ll want to start slow and work your way up. The important thing is to start. Five minutes of exercise each day is better than no exercise, anytime.
If you’ve been saying you don’t need to exercise, or that you don’t know what good it will do you, here it is: Regular exercise is for everybody, young and old. It will help build muscle and bone, improve flexibility and strength, to guard against falling and breaking.
Burns fat, improves metabolism, to manage weight, and enhances self esteem. Lowers blood pressure and bad cholesterol, strengthen the heart, increase blood circulation for cell oxygenation. This lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke, (even though you may still be eating some bad things).
Exercise is one of the best ways to manage stress, yoga, meditation, sleep are good too. Regular exercise will help to eliminate anxiety, depression, and feelings of overwhelm. Clears the thinking with more oxygen going to the brain.
Exercising regularly will reduce your risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure, many types of cancer and basically reduce you risk of dying prematurely. So call up some buddies, find out who wants to do this with you, make a plan, and get moving. Just do it.
