Sure, working out is good for your health, but you might be surprised to learn a few other things!
Be Happier at Work. Exercise helps clear your mind, therefore allowing you to check a few more things off your to do list!
Improve Your Vocabulary. Exercisers who ran just two 3-minute sprints, with a 2-minute break in between, learned new words 20% faster than those who rested, in a University of Muenster in Germany study.
Get Natural Pain Relief. "It may seem counterintuitive, but rest isn't necessarily best for reducing pain and stiffness in the knees, shoulders, back, or neck. Healthy adults who did aerobic activity consistently had 25% less musculoskeletal pain than their couch-bound peers, says Stanford senior research scientist Bonnie Bruce, DrPH, MPH, RD."
Feel Sexy at Any Size. The simple act of exercising-regardless of your weight or fitness level-can make you feel positive about how you look, possibly due to the release of feel-good hormones!
Lower Dental Bills. Adults who did 30 minutes of moderate activity 5 or more times a week were 42% less likely to suffer from periodontitis, a gum disease that's more common as you get older. Working out may thwart periodontitis the same way it does heart disease--by lowering levels of inflammation-causing C-reactive protein in the blood.
Shrink Stress Fat. The waistline of those who worked out less expanded an average of 3 inches. Exercise may lower levels of hormones such as cortisol that promotes belly fat.
Slash Cold Risk 33%. Moderate exercise doesn't just rev your metabolism--it boosts your immune system, too, helping your body fight off cold bugs and other germs. Women ages 50 to 75 who did 45 minutes of cardio, 5 days a week, had a third as many colds as those who did once-weekly stretching sessions.
Improve Vision. What's good for your heart is good for your eyes. An active lifestyle can cut your risk of age-related macular degeneration by up to 70%.
Reach the Deep-Sleep Zone. Say good night to poor sleep. Women age 60 and older who walked or danced for at least an hour, four times a week, woke up half as often and slept an average 48 minutes more a night than sedentary women.
Never Get Diabetes. Walking 2 miles 5 times a week may be more effective at preventing diabetes than running nearly twice as much. Because fat is the primary fuel for moderate exercise, walking may better improve the body's ability to release insulin and control blood sugar.
Add Years to Your Life. Being physically fit can actually change how your body works. Vigorous exercisers have longer telomeres-cellular biomarkers that shorten as we age-compared with healthy adults who rarely work out.
So if you wern't inspired before, here are a few extra motivators for you to get up and go!! So head out and start enjoying this great summer weather!!

ReplyDeleteWeight can be reduced by doing the exercises at proper intervals of time. Abs exercise mainly targets the fat deposited in the stomach. By joining the fitness center or aerobics one can get clear sketch on the diet chart and weight plan indeed helps to reduce weight.
