The benefits of exercise are many, but you may not have considered the impact it can have on your health.
You need to work out for a specific reason—to feel better and look better so you can enjoy the life you want. We’re here to help!
Here are five reasons why you should exercise every day:
1. It’s good for your heart.
Exercising builds muscle, which helps keep your heart pumping more efficiently. This means less stress on your arteries, which could lead to a heart attack or stroke.
2. Exercises increase circulation throughout your body, which can help treat symptoms of arthritis and lower blood pressure levels in people with high blood pressure.
3. Regular exercise lowers cholesterol levels in your blood by as much as 30%, helping prevent heart disease and strokes later in life.
4. People who exercise regularly live longer than those who don’t—and they may even be able to reduce their risk of developing cancer by up to 50%. This can be attributed to the fact that people who engage in regular physical activity have lower levels of stress hormones like cortisol floating around in their bloodstream.
It’s important to start an exercise routine as soon as possible if you want to reap these benefits. Here are some tips for getting started:
-Try walking or jogging for 10 minutes a day. Add a couple more minutes each day until you reach 30 minutes per day.
-Keep your diet balanced by eating plenty of fruits and vegetables each day (at least five servings). If you don’t like vegetables, add them to your meals instead of having them separately as snacks.
-Exercise at least three times per week for 15 minutes or longer at a time (including warm-up and cool-down periods). Try jogging, swimming, or walking briskly on an incline for cardio workouts; strength training with weights such as dumbbells or weight machines; or playing sports like basketball.
You might feel a little bummed out about the idea of daily exercise. The thought of squeezing in another thing on your schedule might just seem like one more thing on the list of so many things you should be doing. But the truth is, exercise is an investment in your body that will pay off in countless and immeasurable ways. Even if it’s not something you love (and yes, it’s really THAT good), your body is thankful that you’re giving it some love every day, too. And guess what? It all starts with one simple, daily activity.
