Everyone Needs Exercise: Why You Need to Hit the Gym

By Virginia Laird

Whether it is from a lack of desire or lack of time, there is a surprisingly large number of people who simply do not exercise at all. With an ever-increasing percentage of the population struggling with obesity, diabetes, and many other ailments, it is necessary that everyone begin to understand the role that exercise plays in overall wellness. Many healthcare experts encourage patients to add at least 20 minutes of exercise each day to help promote good health. These same professionals insist that there are a host of reasons for which you need to add exercise to your daily routine. These include:   

  • Exercise helps reduce the risk of heart disease
  • Working out can help you lose weight
  • Making time to exercise can reduce stress

Exercise Helps Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease

Heart disease, even the thought of it, is no laughing matter. It should always be taken seriously. There is research to link a lack of routine exercise to some heart disease. Exercise strengthens the heart, which helps to improve its health. Another benefit of routine workouts are their ability to manage blood pressure. Out of whack blood pressure levels can cause issues with heart disease. 

Working Out Can Help You Lose Weight

Another prime benefit to exercise is its ability to help with weight loss. As you work out, you burn calories that can help speed up the process of weight loss. Although exercise alone is not enough to meet your weight loss goal, when accompanied with healthy eating it can be achieved. Exercise including walking, jogging, and hitting the gym can all help produce results when it comes to dropping a few pounds.   

Making Time to Exercise Can Reduce Stress

For those who struggle with extreme stress, routine exercise can be helpful in managing this issue. Exercise helps the mind to clear itself of brain fog, and for a moment, it is easy to get lost in the joy that a good workout can provide. Research further supports the notion that the body releases hormones while exercising, which helps to stabilize emotions. Some refer to this as happy hormones. No matter what you may call it, this is extremely helpful in reducing your stress.

Begin today adding a little exercise to your day and begin reaping these benefits.
