5 Reasons To Get Moving



Every time you watch the morning talk shows you hear that everyone should be getting between 30 - 60 minutes of exercise every single day.
As I have written before it is sometimes hard to get motivated to work out.  Here I hope, are
some reasons why you should get off of the couch and onto the treadmill.

1. Weight Control-Exercise alone won’t help you maintain your weight. You have to eat well. The good news is exercise burns excess calories and helps prevent unwanted weight gain.
2. Happy Pills not Needed-Exercise releases endorphins and endorphins make you feel good. No need to spend money on prescripition pills to get rid of anxiety. Get your body movin and groovin to keep the doctor away.
3. Decreased Risk of Disease-Exercise can reduce the chances that you will get type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis or high blood pressure
4. More Verile Muscles-Besides being more physically appealing the more muscles you have the more calories you burn doing everyday activities.
5. Give Doogie Howser a Run For His Money-When you exercise you increase the flow of blood and oxygen through the body and that means your brain is getting it too! Plus exercise helps to prevent Alzheimers later in life.

The most important thing to remember is that you don't have to sweat buckets or fall down from exhaustion to reap the benefits of daily exercise.
