Why do you need to work out?
There are many reasons why it is important to work out but I will focus on the main reasons.
To Delay Death – This may sound morbid but all of us will die. There is no escaping it. . . the death statistics are 100%. The goal is to have the highest quality of life for the longest period of time. By living a healthy and safe lifestyle in a healthy environment we can increase are chances of extending our lifespans and our abilities to be mobile and active through the entirety of our lives. A healthy lifestyle should include exercise to experience the highest level of physical health.
To Avoid Disease & Lower the Risks of Health Problems – To have a high quality of life we ,obviously, would like to avoid diseases. Engaging in many forms of physical activity can have a direct correlation to deterring certain diseases and health problems such as coronary heart disease, hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes, strokes, heart attacks, osteoporosis, lower back problems, cholesterol level problems and even stress.
To Feel Good About Yourself – Exercise can have a positive effect on your mental outlook and your emotional well-being. When engaging in cardiovascular exercise, chemicals called endorphins are released in the body that create a “feel good” mood and can help to make a person feel less stressed and more relaxed. Exercise can help you sleep better and can even be helpful in treating mild to moderate depression and other mental disorders.
To Control Weight – Exercise can help to “burn” unneeded/excess calories. Excess calories are stored in our bodies as fat cells. In order to take off a pound of fat, your body has to burn 3,500 calories more than the number of calories you are consuming. Aerobic exercise can be used to increase metabolism and burn calories to help reduce weight over time. Even after an aerobic workout session your metabolism stays elevated for several hours, burning more calories. Aerobic exercise also suppresses appetite, so you aren’t as tempted to eat.
