Energize your body, mind and soul by exercising every day. Even when you feel too tired to get moving, motivate yourself to push forward. Our bodies are designed to move! We need to keep moving throughout our lives in order to maintain not only healthy muscles but to keep all of our internal systems in tip top shape as well.
To keep our bodily mechanisms hard at work, we must keep the gears moving. Otherwise our muscles become lax and withered and in turn, our bones suffer the consequences. For instance, when core muscles in the body are not exercised and developed, more stress and strain is put on the back and spine. The same for the knee. Knee injuries that develop into arthritis can be helped dramatically by strengthening the muscles that surround the knee.
We all know that a healthy heart is essential to living well. Daily activity has been proven to strengthen the heart muscles and alleviate stress by helping the body to produce endorphins. Regular cardio exercises combined with strength training provides the best exercise plan.
Exercise is good for the mind and soul as well as the body. It feels great to take a nice walk after a big meal. Not only does the walk help your food to digest, it relieves stress and gives the mind and soul a chance to recharge and reboot.
There are so many benefits to staying active. Just as well, there are serious side effects that can develop when a person chooses a sedentary lifestyle devoid of exercise and activity. Don’t wait for these ailments to steal your zest in life. Go out there and get moving.
You don’t have to join a club or do anything fancy to begin exercising. If you are a beginner, start with a 15-minute walk out and 15-minute walk back. That’s an easy 30 minutes of exercising that you can build on day after day. I guarantee you that if you stick with it you will never regret the time you invest in exercise and taking care of your body.
