Benefits of Exercise

Benefits of Excercise
Exercise is extremely important at any age for a multitude of reasons. Whether you’re concerned for your young child going into sports, are finally starting sports as an adult, or worried about doing exercise with various conditions or at an older age, exercise is still for you. We’ve compiled our favorite benefits of working out in this blog post. If you have any specific conditions that doubt your ability to exercise, make an appointment with your doctor to get cleared, however, remember, there’s almost always a form of exercise valid for you.
  1. First off, exercise gets your body moving and releases various hormones that help your mind destress and become happier. Consistent exercise can improve your overall mood and has been shown to decrease anxiety and depression due to the serotonin and norepinephrine released. In addition, endorphins released during exercise helps with feeling more positive and reduces the perception of pain.
  2. Exercise can help with different goals a person may have. Whether your goal is to lose weight, maintain your weight, or gain weight/muscles, exercise lets you do this. There are many forms of exercise from aerobic activities, resistance training, interval training, and many others that allow you to target your specific goal. For those looking to lose weight, being inactive is one of the main reasons for the body to hold onto excess weight. By starting to incorporate light-moderate exercise and small changes in your diet, your body will start to lose weight.
  3. The risk of chronic diseases increases exponentially for those who do not exercise regularly. Sticking to a consistent schedule helps the body improve insulin sensitivity, body composition, and cardiovascular fitness. In doing so, blood pressure decreases along with blood fat levels. Without proper exercise, the risk for higher fat percentages in the body may lead to heart diseases, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic conditions later in life.
  4. One overlooked reason for exercise is to gain muscle and bone strength. With age, you can lose muscles and bone density, which leads to osteoporosis, however through training, you can build them back up. Activities such as jumping rope and running help build bone density and activities such as weight lifting increases muscles.
  5. Lastly, exercise helps regulate energy levels throughout the day. Incorporating regular exercise has been found to reduce fatigue in individuals who maintain their workout schedule for over 6 weeks. In addition, exercise helps increase energy levels better than most treatments for those with Chronic Fatigue Syndrom – CFS. Not only are energy levels posted throughout the day, but exercise helps the body feel more relaxed and in turn sleep better at night. The energy expended during a workout leads the body to incorporate recuperative processes during sleep giving you the feeling of being better rested.
