i used to exercise with the goal of losing weight, but over time, i've started to realize that there are lots of other reasons why exercise is really important and good for me (and everyone else). exercise is a way to help me get stronger, have better cardiovascular health, and improve my mood. exercise releases endorphins, which definitely improves my mental health and makes me feel better. beyond that, i'm a huge proponent of self-care. as much as i love face masks and massages, there are lots of acts of self-care that can be done on a regular basis (like exercise!) so, to sum up, exercise is great on a physiological level, for your mood and mental health, and because it's a way to take care of yourself and show your body that you love it (or are trying to get to that point)
Struggling with exercise motivation?

Exercise is important for many different reasons! It could be for personal reasons, to keep healthy, or for work to keep fit and active. But most importantly, regardless of what you are exercising for, it is a key part to maintaining a healthy mind.

Exercise is very important because you need it to stay healthy, especially for your heart. Not exercising can ultimately lead to heart attacks and strokes. Not excercising also increases your risk of high blood pressure and diabetes.

There are so many benefits to exercise, both physical and emotional! In addition to increasing your muscle and making you stronger, exercise can help relieve stress, boost self esteem, and for me it makes a big difference for making my life feel more "put together". Although some people say it's boring, it doesn't have to be if you find the right way to implement it into your lifestyle, which is different for everyone.

I may assume you mean physical exercise. Exercise has proven to have numerous health benefits. We can first take a look at what happens if you don't exercise. You have a higher risk of getting heart disease, becoming obese, feeling breathlessness, having lack of energy, higher chance to get depressed, lack of mobility, lack of strength, lack of endurance, high blood pressure, osteoporosis and bad posture. Most of these can be easily managed and lower the risk with exercise. Exercise has also been proven to be more effective than some anti depressants. It's a great way to explore new things in life and gain a lot of health benefits, that can be very difficult to manage without exercise. It can also be a social thing, where you get to make new friends! Ofc a healthy life is non existent if everything else is screwed up, like sleep, sufficient diet and rest. But exercise still serves an important role in our lives. Humans are built to move, and with the growing of paasive jobs, exercise becomes even more important to consider in our daily lives! I don't think it's rational to play with your health and risk all of those things i listed, plus another page full of risks for no good reason. Ofc if you have some sort of disability or such, it can be more difficult, but there's always some way everyone can do physical exercise! You will thank yourself when you're a grandma/grandpa and still are able to walk and move, instead of sitting all day every day!

When you exercise you do good to your health, mental and physical. You're starting feeling more sexy, cool and relaxed. It wil take sometime until you have the desirable results, but if you can at least try you'll notice that exercise gives you a strength so different. Your mood will change. The skin will be more flexible and your daily or weekly program will be more interesting. Through exercise you'll definately combat stress and you can also meet other people who do so to share this. You can set a goal of 10' a day or 3 hours a week. Find a gym that suits you, go for aerobics, or track n field, start dancing, pilates or even yoga.
Take care. xxx

Exercise is really helpful in overcoming anxiety, depression, and other mental illnesses. It is been proven time and again by many of the researchers. The fact that exercise is necessary to maintain a healthy lifestyle is known to all of us. It not only helps us physically but mentally too. I personally workout on a regular basis with two days off a week or so. It is beneficial to workout consistently rather than doing it vigorously for a week and then doing nothing at all. I try to maintain a healthy lifestyle by including an hour of exercise daily. Many people find it difficult to go to the gym due to their busy schedule or work at the offices but I highly recommend working out at your own pace in the comfort of your home. There are quite a lot of amazing apps out there that come in handy with an easy UI that not only gives the diet chat but also helps to track your progress. And tracking progress is something that keeps me going!

We eat what we want and live our lives how we want, so the only way to live longer in that kinda lifestyle is to exercise. Exercising lets you loose the fats that you don't need, gives you good blood flow and high metabolism rate. Also keeps you fit and healthy.

Our bodies were meant to move, they actually crave exercise. :D Regular exercise is necessary for physical fitness and good health. Stretching exercises are also important for good posture. Exercise increases blood flow and oxygen levels in the brain. And it makes you feel good :)

Exercise is very important for people. It not only burns calories and can help you get in shape, it also can help emotion-wise. When you're angry, exercising can help you calm down and think reasonably. It can also make you feel like you've accomplished something, once you are finished.

Exercise is helpful in so many ways. It's fun, keeps you moving and also healthy! Personally, I'm not too big on your classic gym type exercise. However, I LOVE dancing and taking walks and riding my bike. Exercise is important to me because I also have arthritis so I have to keep myself moving. Also, you can lose weight, woohoo!
