There are always stories of what physical activity does for us. People tell us that physical activity is good for us, but they rarely explain why and which parts of physical activities are good for us.
Surely injuries cannot be good for us and truth be told, they are not. Sports are fun and physical activities in general, can be very good for us and in order not to parrot what everyone else is saying, here are some reasons as to why you should consider physical activities as a part of your daily lives.
Overall Health and Fitness
Exercise is good for us, particularly walking and running, which is what counters most of today’s people’s problems. There is another exercise that should be added to the list, and that is a face pull, or anything similar that activates the rhomboids, the muscles which pull the shoulders back.
Exercising will increase our overall health levels by stimulating the immune system and by promoting fat loss. Stimulating the heart is also a huge part of why exercise is important. A strong and healthy cardiovascular system will benefit us immediately and in the long run.
Exercising Helps Us Feel Better
One of the most important benefits of exercise is the fact that we feel a lot better after exercising or even after the second exercise rep. As soon as we start to exercise, our bodies start secreting endorphins and we immediately feel better and ready to tackle more problems and issues. We also store that motivation and get a clearer head. This is why some people go out for a run to clear their heads.
Mental health is important and frequent exercise is key to feeling good. If you exercise daily, you will always feel better.
We Gain Confidence
People who exercise regularly will either lose fat or build muscle or both. This is a byproduct of exercising. Hypertrophy or muscle gain, is a typical byproduct of doing sets of exercises in the range of 5 to 30 repetitions, which is what most people do.
Looking better, feeling stronger and being overall lighter, is the best thing you can do for yourself. You will be healthier and also more confident. Confidence is an important trait, one that can be attained through exercise and tackling fears and issues head on.
Meeting New People
Exercising, even when done alone, will likely put us on the path to meet new people. Exercising outside, whether outdoors or in a gym, will most likely lead to socialisation. As social beings, we benefit from meeting new people and talking. As someone who exercises frequently, you will find meeting new people a lot easier, as you gain confidence.
There are many benefits to exercising, these being a few of the more important ones.
