Below are six ways that exercise can improve
your life.
1. Exercise improves your mood. Physical
activity stimulates your brain to release endorphins which
leave you feeling happier and more relaxed than you were before
you worked out. You'll also look better and feel better when
you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and
improve your self-esteem. Regular physical activity can even
help prevent depression.
2. Exercise combats chronic diseases. Regular physical
activity can help you prevent - or manage - high blood pressure.
Your cholesterol will benefit, too. Regular physical activity
boosts high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or good, cholesterol
while decreasing triglycerides. This one-two punch keeps your
blood flowing smoothly by lowering the buildup of plaques
in your arteries. There is more, regular physical activity
can help you prevent type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis and certain
types of cancer.
3. Exercise helps you manage your weight. When
you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more
intense the activity, the more calories you burn - and the
easier it is to keep your weight under control. You don't
even need to set aside major chunks of time for working out.
Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Walk during your
lunch break. Do jumping jacks during commercials. Dedicated
workouts are great, but physical activity you accumulate throughout
the day helps you burn calories, too.

4. Exercise boosts your energy level. Physical activity
delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues. In fact, regular physical
activity helps your entire cardiovascular system - the circulation
of blood through your heart and blood vessels - work more efficiently.
Big deal? You bet! When your heart and lungs work more efficiently,
you'll have more energy to do the things you enjoy.
5. Exercise promotes better sleep. Struggling to fall asleep?
Or stay asleep? It might help to boost your physical activity during
the day. A good night's sleep can improve your concentration, productivity
and mood. And you guessed it - physical activity is sometimes the
key to better sleep. Regular physical activity can help you fall asleep
faster and deepen your sleep. There's a caveat, however. If you exercise
too close to bedtime, you may be too energized to fall asleep. If
you're having trouble sleeping, you might want to exercise earlier
in the day.
6. Improve your sex life. Are you too tired to have sex? Or feeling
too out of shape to enjoy physical intimacy? Regular physical activity
can leave you feeling energized and looking better, which may have
a positive effect on your sex life. But there's more to it than that.
Regular physical activity can lead to enhanced arousal for women,
and men who exercise regularly are less likely to have problems with
erectile dysfunction than are men who don't exercise - especially
as they get older.
