Exercise can be important to many people! Whether it be to relieve stress, distract yourself from something, or simply stay healthy, it's always a great thing to do. Though, make sure not to overexert yourself or wear yourself down. Injuring yourself or causing harm to your body is never worth the distraction and could even hurt you more than help you if your goal is to stay happy and healthy! Another thing that could help is keeping up with an exercise plan to make sure you don't wear yourself down and keep on track with a healthy amount of exercise per week.

There are many benefits to exercising, and the benefits to you personally, will depend on YOU personally. Meaning, each person takes something different away from exercising and when you know what you want to take away from being physical, the more likely you are to experience those specific benefits, which include, weight loss, cardiovascular fitness, raising endorphins, warding off depression, lower blood pressure, reducing anxiety, raising adrenaline and thus boosting your mood, as well as socialization aspects that can occur from joining a gym or a running club or similar activity, where meeting and connecting with people is bound to happen. There are many many advantages to getting physical though the ones that resonate for you are the most important.

Exercise is important because it makes us feel good about the present as well as reduces the production of "stress hormone" for the next 24-36 hours. It increases the energy level of the body thus making us more active, alert and aware about ourselves and the environment. Once we start exercising, our bodies feel a sense of high, a surreal experience. It keeps us motivated to continue once the habit of doing exercise develops. Its not necessary to exercise for hours even light exercise for 15 minutes for 5/ 6 days in a week is enough to keep us healthy.

Regular physical activity can help the mind and body deal with stressors. Research clearly demonstrates that getting regular exercise improves mood, lowers blood pressure, reduces stress, and improves cardiovascular health. Studies have also shown people with mild to moderate depression experienced a 50% reduction in depressive symptoms when they participated in 30 minutes of aerobic exercises 3-5 times a week. Examples of aerobic activities include brisk walking, jogging, swimming, biking, and playing basketball. Find just 20 minutes of alone time to relax, take a walk, write in a journal, or meditate. Research shows meditation may decrease stress, reduce anxiety/pain/depression, and enhance mood and self-esteem. Not only that, but exercising is just a healthy thing to do.

Exercise has many health benefits for everyone. Exercise reduces risk for many diseases, including (but not limited to) heart diseases, stroke, many types of cancer, diabetes type 2, many mental health issues, etc. It also helps you staying in good shape, prevent becoming obese or overweight or it can alleviate losing excess weight if you are obese or overweight. Exercise can improve also your self image, self esteem and thus improves your emotional health and consequently mental health. Exercising is also a form of socializing as you can exercise with another people or outside where other people are (you don't feel as alone as you would if you were inactive at home). Exercise can also improve your sleep.

Exercise is an important part of our lives and should be a regular occurrence. Exercise provides three main factors. Physical, mental and emotional wellness.
Fitness, along with proper nutrition, is important for a healthy lifestyle. Being fit may help increase energy, maintain physical functionality and may prevent or minimize complications from chronic diseases. If you do less exercise or activity you will become deconditioned. Your muscles weaken and lose bulk including the muscles you need for breathing and the large muscles in your legs and arms. You will become more breathless as you do less activity.
Physical activity can also help your concentration skills, by providing a release valve for stress and pressure and encouraging higher levels of endorphins. If you can concentrate well on important work and social tasks, you'll be happier overall.

Physical activity or exercise can improve your health and reduce the risk of developing several diseases like type 2 diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease. Physical activity and exercise can have immediate and long-term health benefits. Most importantly, regular activity can improve your quality of life. A minimum of 30 minutes a day can allow you to enjoy these benefits.Increases in daily activity can come from small changes made throughout your day, such as walking or cycling instead of using the car, getting off a tram, train or bus a stop earlier and walking the rest of the way, or walking the children to school.

Exercise for me is hugley important whether it be running walking out in the country or yoga it doesnt really matter, but its the whole process of having the motivation to do it which engages my brain and having it invloved in something else to focus on because when im not moving around and just sitting still its a very rapid decline in my thinking and becoming stale and therefore opening the gates to all the negative thoughts that would flow in and taking over motivation and creating the pathway for depression to set in which in turn breads anxiety, so its simple excercise is really important to me even going to work is a healthy think for me this keeps the brain active and engaged, use it or lose it.

It keeps your body healthy and fit, it keeps your mind distracted from thinking negative thought or any current stress. They are different type of exercises you can do and you can decide whether indoor or outdoor exercises. Some exercises that I can think of is yoga, swimming, biking, wall climbing, gym, basketball, baseball, football, soccer, or you can also do any hobby like painting, video games, sewing, reading, blogging, and many more. If you every feel down do any hobbies or sport and if you don’t have any try something new, these will keep you distracted and entertained.

To keep me fit and healthy, and keep my mind active and positive, and to make me feel good about myself. To know I’m as important as everybody else. To make me feel comfortable within myself. To stop me feeling bad about myself and to encourage other people to stay fit and healthy at all times, and show them that they need to value themselves, and to do it for themselves and because their worrying about what other people might think of them, it’s about them and not what other people might think of them, be happy and worry about yourself.
