Everyone knows exercise is good
for you, but not many people know
just how beneficial it can be for overall
health.
Exercising regularly can improve
your mood, making you more aware
of your mental state and better able to
deal with fears. Exercise helps release
a number of hormones, including endorphins,
serotonin and norepinephrine,
which help to regulate stress,
rest and anxiety, improving your overall
mental outlook. One study showed
that women who had been diagnosed
with depression experienced decreased
feelings of depression, even
with moderate exercise.
Engaging in a regular exercise routine
helps boost your energy levels.
A six-week targeted exercise routine
can help people who deal with persistent
fatigue. Studies show that routine
exercise often is an effective way to
combat chronic fatigue syndrome and
other serious illnesses. People dealing
with these issues benefit from a routine
planned for their level of fitness and
guidance from a professional, until
they feel confident on their own.
Daily physical activity can improve
your long-term health. A routine that
improves cardiovascular fitness and
overall body composition can reduce
weight, blood pressure, cholesterol

levels and visceral fat, which has a
direct correlation to Type 2 diabetes,
heart disease and early death. It’s
never too early to start your fitness
journey, and it’s never too late to
take control of your health.
People of all ages benefit from
exercise; however, as we age, the
benefits actually increase. Moderate
exercise increases the production of
natural antioxidants, which help protect
and renew cells. This combined
with stimulated blood flow can induce
skin cell adaptations and delay
the appearance of skin aging.
Exercise also helps improve brain
function and memory. The increased
heart rate experienced during moderate
exercise promotes the flow of
blood and oxygen to the brain. The
hippocampus, which is the part of the
brain vital for memory and learning,
is also stimulated during exercise.
This increases mental function among
older adults. Lastly, exercise is vital
for building and keeping strong muscles
and bones. As people age, they
lose muscle mass and function without
exercise. This can lead to injuries
and reduced independence. Routine
resistance training will help keep
muscles strong and has been shown
to increase bone density, helping to
prevent osteoporosis later in life.
Everyone knows exercise is beneficial,
but oftentimes, people don’t
know where to start. Investing in personal
training or a group class provides
a targeted plan of attack for
your fitness journey and a source of
guidance and encouragement along
the way. Some advantages to guided
exercise are education, correcting
form to prevent injury, realistic goal
setting and modifying exercises for the
unique needs of an individual. Group
fitness provides encouragement, accountability
and a fun atmosphere,
especially when starting out. ª
Think of it as ordering takeout.
