The Benefits to Regular Exercise

Regular exercise is a great way to feel better and become more active in your day-to-day life. But what does regular exercise actually do for you?

Lose weight 

This one is a no brainer! Regular exercise will keep your body moving and burn calories. Whether you are lifting heavy weights or simply just going for walk, your body will be burning more calories than if you were sitting on the couch watching TV! 

Combats health risks and conditions

As you exercise more, your cardiovascular system improves. Exercise keeps the heart pumping and blood flowing - decreasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. It can also prevent or manage a number of health problems and concerns, and can improve cognitive function.

Boosts energy

It doesn't seem like it but weirdly enough, exerting energy produces more energy! Regular activity can boost endurance and muscle strength - giving you the ability to do more with your day. 

Promotes sleep

Although we said it makes you more energetic, using your body for exercise will make you more ready to sleep by helping you sleep faster, have deeper sleep and getting better rest. HOWEVER, try not to workout right before bed as you'll be too energised to sleep! 

Improves mood

Physical activity stimulates brain cells that release endorphins - making you feel happier, more relaxed and less anxious. This will boost your confidence and knowing that you worked out will make you feel much more better than if you didn't. 

Socialising and fun

There's lots of ways to exercise, and lots of ways to spend time with others! Getting into a team sport, going on a hike or even just your everyday gym session are great ways to get involved. There are lots of sports and activities out there, so there will always be something for everyone.
