Exercise helps our whole being. Building our inner well being and our physical body. Helping self helps others. Getting to know ourselves allows for one's self to fulfill more in life. A healthy physical heart and lungs is essential for life. Leading to being able-bodied in taking care of our earthly tasks and duties. Health of the lungs and proper breathing the gift of life allows us to share help and support. Life requires energy and exercise allows us to work through things that drain our energy. 5 10 15 min day. A walk with the kids or dog, a few laps at the pool, walking in place....Getting started is hard sometimes give it a try its worth the effort to do a bit of exercise.

Exercise is important because it leads to a healthier, happier lifestyle. It also decreases the risk of getting certain diseases and health issues. Exercise is also a great way to connect with other people. Many people go to the gym or for a run and will meet others that are invested in their health. This can be a great way to form friendships. The most widely known benefit of exercise seems to be the physical aspect. With exercise you can lose weight and build up your muscular and endurance levels. With these, it is much easier to go about your life and not have so many health problems.

Take this from a weight lifter's perspective. Exercise is important for three major things. The first is it opens up your veins and gets your heart pumping to get good oxygen to the brain. This can actually help you feel less depresses and anxious when it comes to self esteem. The second important one is no matter what your fitness goals may be in the end you are doing it for yourself and that is a form of self love so you are working on being the best version of yourself not because others told you so but because you told yourself to do so. Lastly it actually helps build a strong immune system, and helps you heal faster when you get injured or sick (minor injuries not major ones you need surgery for). Why it does that is because no matter what you choose to do to exercise your body will tell you if you are getting good food or bad food in your body by the energy level you have to do your workouts. You do not just learn about your own body but you learn how the correct way to eat and correct time to workout actually benefits your own body to sustain its self when in action. As I always say to others. 30 minutes three days a week is literally the bare minimum you need. You do not need to work out for one hour six days a week like me. Figure out why you want to be more healthy, make a plan on how to achieve it and go for it. Most importantly don't be afraid to walk into a gym. Most of us muscle looking guys who see someone new come into the gym makes us happy to know another person is taking their first step into a better life. We cheer you on in our heads to keep going, and also know we all had a starting point just like how you would be starting out. Don't be afraid to ask us how a machine works, or how to work out a certain muscle. We all love to help and and share what we know. Best of luck for your fitness goals.

The benefits of exercise know no bounds! There are both short term and long term benefits to exercise. One short term benefit is improved mood. An improved mood can be the result of the endorphins that our bodies release after exercise which serve to compensate for any pain and tension the exercise may cause. An improved mood may also come as a result of developing a sense of satisfaction from accomplishing a goal and completing a task. Another short term benefit is conditioning. By starting to exercise, you can physically condition your body which can make everyday tasks easier such as climbing stairs, going for extended walks and carrying groceries. By starting to exercise, you can mentally condition your mind to prepare it for more exercise and activities that require mental endurance as well as physical endurance such as running. A long term benefit of exercise is fat loss. Excess body fat is known to increase the likelihood of a myriad of health disorders such as diabetes, hypertension and even cancer. To have a healthy body fat reduces the likelihood of developing such disorders. Another long term benefit of exercise is improved mental health. Exercise can lead to improved mental health because it stimulates the mind and body in a natural way. As it leads people to have healthier bodies, there are less physical disorders that can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety and helplessness.

Exercise helps me to disconnect from fight or flight mode when I am feeling anxious It helps me to keep my weight in a healthy range. It builds confidence for me and helps me make new friends and bond with them when we do statics together via zoom these days. We take turns being the leader to think up of different statics. Exercise is also a form of meditation to me. I will get inspiration and get into the flow. It is an enjoyable moment too. Exercise coupled with intermittent fasting helps alot. It has helped me to lose 5 kg. Accumulated from heading out less these days. I love exercise I think I would like to get addicted to it. There are worse addictions.

People who exercise regularly tend to do so because it gives them an enormous sense of well-being. They feel more energetic throughout the day, sleep better at night, have sharper memories, and feel more relaxed and positive about themselves and their lives. And it’s also a powerful medicine for many common mental health challenges. Regular exercise can have a profoundly positive impact on depression, anxiety, and ADHD. It also relieves stress, improves memory, helps you sleep better, and boosts your overall mood. And you don’t have to be a fitness fanatic to reap the benefits. Research indicates that modest amounts of exercise can make a real difference. No matter your age or fitness level, you can learn to use exercise as a powerful tool to deal with mental health problems, improve your energy and outlook, and get more out of life.

Exercise gives me a chance to express myself. It allows me to clear my head and get rid of all the stress and anxiety. Also, constantly exercising can help you to raise your self-esteem when you see the progress. I also believe that exercising allows us to rid our minds of worries and it helps to release endorphins. These endorphins are feel-good hormones and I feel that this helps to ease my pain and depression as well. Seeing your body grow can also help you to gain back confidence and self-confidence is very very important. I also feel that exercising increases the chance of social interaction and will help to make u feel less lonely.

Although exercise has many physical health benefits, it is important for me because it’s helps me feel I have achieved something. It helps me to feel better about myself and to take some much needed time out to clear my head. It is so important to take time out for yourself and spend some time in your own. After all all you really have in this world is you and getting to know yourself and who you really are is a very important part of life. Exercise also allows your body to produce very important feel good hormones which reduces your chance of depression and anxiety.

Excerise is something that I've cherished more recently the older I become. The reason for this is that in growing older it can become more difficult to do activities that were previously relatively easy. Without building muscle or having a chance to stretch I sometimes feel weaker. Beyond even this reasoning, I've noticed that at least for me it helps keep me focused rather than preoccupied and has helped me stay calm. At times I've found it difficult to sleep, but found it easier to sleep after exercising more. I could note that excerise has been used to help hamper weight gain. In daily life, I've noticed positives from exercising with others. For instance, going to a dance class or group sessions has been positive for some friends. For me excerise has been more therapeutic is o e reason I like excerise. Sometimes it could be as simple as going for walks or even for fun lessons like dance or learning an art like boxing.

Hi! I believe exercising is important because it helps keep you physically and mentally healthy. Personally I struggle with maintaining my physical health a lot and I've noticed that exercising regularly has helped me loose weight and maintaining good levels of my vitals. But also its something I now look forward to and something I enjoy a lot. As it helps me stay productive, increases my self esteem, and keeps me motivated to push myself beyond my boundaries and be the best version of myself everyday. At first it was really hard to start doing exercise everyday, but once I was able to just start and make it a habit in my life, thats when it really became of importance to me. And became more than just about being healthy or fit.
Have a helpful insight? Don’t keep it to yourself.
Sharing helps others and its therapeutic for you.
