STRONGHAVEN FITNESS CLUB

Do you want to feel better and add years to your life?

The solution is simple: exercise regularly. The health benefits of physical activity and exercise are undeniable. Regardless of your age, gender, or physical ability, everyone can benefit from exercise. If you need more reasons to start exercising, consider these seven ways in which exercise can lead to a happier and healthier you.

1. Exercise controls weight

Regular exercise can help you prevent weight gain or lose weight. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories, and the more intense the exercise, the more calories you burn. Going to the gym every day for long hours is unnecessary. Any amount of physical activity is beneficial. Increase your physical activity throughout the day to reap the advantages of exercise. For instance, you can take the stairs or do more household chores instead of the elevator. Consistency is the key to success.

2. Exercise combats health conditions and diseases

Are you worried about heart disease or seeking to avoid high blood pressure? Regardless of weight, physical activity can elevate high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels, also known as the "good" cholesterol, while lowering unhealthy triglycerides. Regular exercise is a proven way to prevent or manage various health issues and concerns related to cardiovascular health.

3. Exercise improves mood

Do you feel emotionally down or stressed after a long day? If yes, then consider going for a gym session or brisk walk. Physical activity triggers various brain chemicals that make you feel happier, relaxed, and less anxious. Additionally, regular exercise can enhance your confidence and self-esteem, as you may feel better about your appearance and overall well-being.

4. Exercise boosts energy

Do you feel tired after doing grocery shopping or household chores? Regular physical activity can help you improve muscle strength and endurance. Exercise sends oxygen and essential nutrients to your tissues, which helps your cardiovascular system to function more efficiently. When your heart and lung health improves, you will have more energy to tackle your daily tasks.

5. Exercise promotes better sleep

Are you having difficulty sleeping? Regular physical activity can help you sleep faster, better, and more deeply. However, avoid exercising too close to bedtime as it may leave you too energized to fall asleep.

6. Exercise puts the spark back into your sex life

Do you feel too tired or too out of shape to enjoy physical intimacy? Regular physical activity can improve energy levels and give you more confidence about your physical appearance, which may boost your sex life.

But there's even more to it than that. Regular physical activity may enhance arousal for women. Men who exercise regularly are less likely to have problems with erectile dysfunction than men who don't exercise.

7. Exercise can be fun and social

Engaging in exercise and physical activity can be an enjoyable experience. These activities provide an opportunity to relax, appreciate the outdoors, or enjoy activities that bring you joy. Additionally, physical activity can be a means of socializing with family and friends in a fun and casual setting. 

To make the most of this, find a form of physical activity you enjoy, whether dancing, hiking, or playing soccer. If you are bored, switch it up and try something new, or invite friends and family to join in on the fun.
