Is Exercising a Good Thing? Why?

You have probably been told countless times that you should exercise more often. But do you really understand why you should exercise?

For starters exercise is good for the whole body including your mind. This is because your body produces endorphins which when released give you that happy and good feeling experience.

Many individuals who begin an exercise routine report that they start sleeping better at night within days. They also report feeling much better overall.

For women, exercising can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Exercise can help improve your muscle mass and strengthen your bones. This is a definite advantage as you head into middle age.

Wellness is a hot topic now and this covers not just exercise but nutrition as well. More people today are concerned about their wellness and are beginning to understand that exercise is a contributing factor to this.

Additional wellness factors include taking physical therapy to help improve your joints, your circulation and increase your overall body movement. There are many fitness classes that are aimed at just getting your body to move again.

These classes are promoted as Functional Fitness and help you with everyday activities, including carrying your grocery bags, picking up your grandchildren and doing your household chores. These classes are often aimed at seniors and for those who suffer from a major disability.

Exercise is great for those who want to lose weight. In fact, this is such an important factor in weight loss that the trend is for weight loss centres to start including an exercise factor into their programs.
