Many of us dread to exercise. Even clients I have had that are both motivated and dedicated to their program dread exercising some days or lose their motivation.
Just to help keep you motivated, here’s a list of reasons to exercise:
- Burn Calories
- Lose weight
- Improve heart health
- Feel good
- Balance hormones
- Increase strength
- Reduce blood pressure
- Lower your risk of type 2 diabetes
- Reduce body fat
- Strengthen bones
- Improve immune system
- Increase energy levels
- Better sex life
- Better mood
- Reduce anxiety
- Sleep better
- Have fun (find a workout you enjoy)
- Reduce back problems and back pain
- Reduce stress and helps alleviate effects of stress
- Improves thinking ability (clarity)
- Reduces risk of heart attack
Yes, the list of reasons to exercise is long and much better than the list of reasons or excuses to not!
