Physical exercise strengthens your cardiovascular system and helps support your skeletomuscular
system. The two major systems that keep you in shape physically are put into action and driven to
health when you exercise. A good workout gets the blood pumping, moving throughout your body,
taking those nutrients where they need to go. A good workout gets your lungs working hard and
expanding their ability to take in and effectively use oxygen. Working out gets your heart pumping
hard and strengthening itself so that it can continue to beat strong and hard for many years to come.
. Let’s do the math: Have you ever considered that a heart that beats an average of 70 beats
per minute will beat 2,575,440,000 times in a 70-year life!? That is more than 2.5 billion times! You
need to keep it in working order to go that long! A good workout develops and maintains strong
muscles so they can carry your body around and remain a good support for the rest of your life! Can
you see how important it is, if you want to succeed and achieve a well-balanced life of health, to
give a priority to physical exercise? It is imperative we take good care of our body because that is
the only place we have to live.
2. Physical exercise raises your metabolism and helps keep your body more finely tuned. Combined
with the nutritional aspect we covered last week, these two keep your body, as a system, humming
along like the engine of an expensive sports car. Among other things, having a higher rate of
metabolism makes your body work more efficiently, burning fat in the proper way, and helps you
maintain proper weight. One of the most important areas of physical health is to have a properly
functioning metabolism, and a good workout routine can be a major contributing factor in getting
your metabolism in the right spot. If you don’t feel well, you probably won’t do well, so invest the
time in a good workout plan
.
3. Physical exercise relieves stress. You know as well as I do that going about our lives in this day
and age is stressful. There are so many factors that can cause stress for us, and the pressures
can build the more successful we become. As you achieve more, there is more responsibility. More
responsibility can produce more stress. Participating in a regular workout program helps release
stress. Your body actually produces stress-relieving chemicals designed to bring your body into a
state of physical-emotional balance. This is done when we get our bodies into a vigorous state of
physical exercise. So, if you want to have a little less stress in your life, exercise more—it helps!
4. Physical exercise helps you sleep better. Our bodies, while designed for action, are also designed
to sleep regularly. Often, because of other factors in our lives, many people today do not sleep as well
as they should. Foods we eat can interrupt our sleep. Stress can keep us from getting the sleep we
need, but exercise can act as a counterbalance . Good, hearty workouts can and will help your body
reach a healthy state of exhaustion, which, in turn, helps you sleep better.
5. Physical exercise helps you feel better. People who are in a regular exercise program feel better
about themselves. Their bodies are healthier, and as they go about their day they have more energy
and are more alert. It makes sense, doesn’t it? When we treat our body right, we feel better. And
we feel better in all different kinds of ways: emotionally, spiritually, etc. Remember, all of the three of our bodies are affected by one another! therefore it is key to maintain a proper balance of all three of these areas!!
6. Physical exercise helps us look better. Hey, who doesn’t want to look better? We all do! A good
exercise program can do that. Good vigorous exercise on a regular basis will help you lose fat,
tighten skin, and firm and tone your muscles. Done right, combined with good eating habits,
you will look great in no time! And let’s face it, looking good will help you feel better—there is an
emotional connection. Studies also show that better-looking people, as a general rule, do better
in business. As much as people say it isn’t right to judge a book by its cover, many people do, so
we should give ourselves a better chance at business by making our cover healthy and fit—and
better-looking. So make sure your outside is a good reflection of your inside.
7. Physical exercise enables us to live longer. This, of course, is the best benefit. Obviously, there
are no guarantees in this life, but the fact remains that those who maintain a healthy state
of physical fitness live longer than those who do not take care of their bodies. We should all
have the goal to live long and healthy lives so we can achieve all we were meant to achieve
here, and give ourselves fully to our families and those who love us and depend on us. A good
long life, filled with love and success, is what we should all shoot for, and maintaining our physical bodies is an integral part of that! There you have them. Seven great benefits you receive from keeping your body in great shape through exercise! Take it to heart. Gain some ground on your health this
month and in the coming year. You will be glad you did!
