What Are Some Benefits of Exercise?

Hello Everyone,

I hope that you all had a great Memorial Day. Before you know it June 21 will be here and that's the first day of Summer; and let's not forget the Dads - it's also Father's Day.

The year is almost half over already. The people back on January 1 who said that "This is the Year to get Healthy"...well, where do we stand?? Still thinking about it? Each day that goes by is one more day we don't get back. How many days do we have left in our life account? Only God knows that answer.

So, where am I going with this? Well, let's review.

Why is exercise important? Maybe this will get you to kickstart yourself into an active and healthy lifestyle that may deposit additional days into your life account.

Studies have shown that exercise promotes self-confidence and self-esteem. It tends to improve mood states and can even alleviate chronic depression in people. Individuls who exercise feel less anxious for hours after their workout.

Some reports show that people who exercise regularly are more sexually active than those who don't (Frauman, 1982). Exercise can have positive effects on intelligence and memory.

So, in conclusion, studies show that people who exercise consistently show significant improvements across a wider range of cognitive functioning and mental health measures (Leith, 1994).

There you have it; only a handful of the many benefits that Proper Exercise will bring into your life.

The choice is yours!
