Heart disease and cancer are two of the nation’s leading causes of death. Approximately 4 out of 5 deaths caused by heart disease and cancer are linked to factors that include stress and lack of exercise. And we all know that diabetes increases the chance for heart attacks and strokes. Combat common risk factors, like stress and a sedentary lifestyle, by starting to exercise now. Live healthier and live longer.

3. Improves Defense Against Disease

The effects of many severe and minor diseases can be improved or even healed through regular exercise. These even include the diseases listed above. By following a regular plan, you can also decrease HDL cholesterol levels, decrease triglyceride levels, and decrease your blood pressure as well.

Exercising on a regular basis will also reduce the risk of prostate cancer for men, breast and uterine cancer for women, and much more.

4. Enhances Your State of Mind

Everyone knows from the many scientific studies that regular exercising will lead to an increased release of endorphins in the body. These chemicals will fight depression and make you feel happy. The body releases these endorphins only 12 minutes into the workout.

There is another chemical known as serotonin that is increased during and after a workout. The increased levels of serotonin in the central nervous system is associated with feelings of well-being and decreased mental depression. The chemical can also help you sleep better at night.

5. Enhances Your Wellness

When you are in great shape and well fit, you have more energy and an improved mood. You will also find that you can stretch beyond your own limits and do more than you thought possible. This sense of accomplishment will make you want to continue your training and push yourself in all areas of your life.

6. Persistence

Exercising regularly will give you more energy, which can help you be more productive at home and at work. Exercising can help give your new goals a sense of purpose and give you something to focus on and aim for. This can help you increase your persistence and prevent you from going off track while you aim for your goal.

7. Social Capabilities

Working out on a regular basis can help to boost your self esteem. You will look better and will be more comfortable in social situations. Exercise will also help you to become more active and meet new people, which will prevent you from feeling isolated and unsupported. Exercise increases your interests in sex and can help you to improve your relationships.

Take a little bit of time out of your day and start exercising – you’ll feel better than ever before and your body will thank you.
