13 Reasons To Exercise

1. Prevent Disease

Exercise has been proven to reduce the risk of just about every

single health problem known to man, from stroke to heart disease to

cancer and osteoporosis. Exercise is also a great defense against

type 2 diabetes, which is one of the most widely growing diseases of

our time.



2. Look Great

Exercise firms your body, improves posture and even makes your

skin glow. Looking your best is a wonderful result of regular

exercise.



3. Lose Weight and Keep It Off

Exercise burns fat and prevents future fat storage. If you want to

have a thinner, healthier body, exercise is the answer.



4. Have More Energy

Anyone who exercises regularly will tell you that they are more

energetic, less easily irritated and are more peaceful.



5. Sleep Better

Exercise boosts energy levels, but also wears you out. It makes you

feel more vibrant during the day and sleep better at night.



6.  Age Slower

Exercise is one of the most effective ways to fight aging. When you

age your body loses muscle and bone, while the loss of both are

drastically reduced with regular exercise. Exercise also helps reduce

inflammation.



7. Relieve Back Pain

In most cases, the best thing that you can do for back pain is to

move and strengthen those muscles. Consult your physician or

physical therapist for guidance.



8. Ease Depression

Exercise has been proven to reduce depression – sometimes even

as effectively as medication. Just chalk this up as yet another

amazing benefit to exercise.


9. Reduce Aches and Pains

By strengthening muscles around your damaged joints you're able

to use exercise to reduce joint pain and overall aches. Always

consult your physician before starting an exercise program,

especially if you have chronic joint pain.



10. Stay Mentally Sharp

Exercise has been shown to improve memory and other cognitive

functions, and seems to have a protective effect against dementia.

A Harvard University researcher called exercise "Miracle-Gro for the

brain."



11. Enjoy Your Lifestyle

Whatever it is that you love in life – your kids, travel, sports, fashion

- it is all more enjoyable when experienced in a fit and healthy body.

Exercise so that you are able to enjoy all the great things in life.



12. To Reduce Sick Days

People who exercise regularly are 50% less likely to call in sick to

work. A regular exercise program reduces colds and upper

respiratory infections.

having great confidence. There is no better confidence booster than

sticking with a regular exercise program.
