"Why Should I Exercise?"

Is your day non-stop? Are you always on the move? No time to
exercise or relax? Exercising will give you more energy and
time.

Recent studies suggest that overweight is more often caused by
the lack of exercise than overeating. From age 20 on, most
Americans show signs of obesity, gaining ½ to 1 ½ pounds per
year, mostly in fat, primarily because of too little exercise.
The cause - your enemy is the television, sofa, and car.

Here are eight great reasons and benefits to show you how
exercise can help you.

1. Exercisers pay half as much in medical bills each year as
those who don't exercise, and exercisers only have one-third
the number of sick days.

2. Exercise enables your cardio-respiratory system to function
more efficiently as your lungs take in more air and deliver more
oxygen to the tissues. Your heart pumps more blood with
each contraction and delivers more oxygen to your muscles.
It helps to fight stress.

3. Regular aerobic training lowers blood pressure and reduces
the chances of a stroke.

4. Exercise increases muscle strength.

5. If you're under stress or suffer from insomnia, exercise can
help bring relief.

6. Regular exercise can slow most symptoms of aging such as; fat
accumulation, weakened muscles, reduced balance, flexibility,
agility, and reaction time.

7. Many doctors prescribe exercise for some types of depression.
The body hormone, beta-endorphin, secreted increased amounts
during exercise, is a natural euphoric or antidepressant, which
may account for "Runner's High".

8. Exercise will make you look and feel better-an irresistible
appeal to your vanity, and an excellent reason to exercise
regularly.

Exercising on a regular basis promotes efficient breathing,
relieves tension, increases circulation, lowers blood pressure
and heart rate, and keeps you more alert.

An appropriate exercise program should include exercises for
strength (machines & weight training), endurance (aerobics),
and flexibility (calisthenics & yoga).
