EXERCISE CONTROLS WEIGHT
We all know that exercise can help us shed pounds or maintain a healthy weight. If you don’t have time for an intense workout, look for ways to incorporate more activity to your day simply by walking more and sitting less.
EXERCISE PROMOTES HEALTH AND PREVENTS DISEASE
No matter what your weight, being active decreases your risk of developing a wide range of health problems including cardiovascular disease, stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, depression, certain types of cancer, arthritis and falls.
EXERCISE IMPROVES MOOD
Feeling down or stressed? Exercise can help. Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may make you happier and more relaxed. Exercise can also help boost your self-image and give you more confidence.
EXERCISE BOOSTS ENERGY
Are you exhausted at the end of the day? Do simple daily tasks make you tired? Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength, boost endurance, and provide more energy throughout the day.
EXERCISE PROMOTES BETTER SLEEP
Do you struggle to get a good night’s sleep? Regular exercise can help you fall asleep faster and improve the quality of your sleep.
EXERCISE IS FUN
Being active allows you to enjoy activities that make you happy. Exercise can give you an opportunity for some much-needed alone time or it can be a social experience that connects you to friends. Find a physical activity you enjoy from walking to tennis. Or try something new, like rock climbing or Pilates. There is an activity for everyone. Find the one that makes you smile and feel good.
