Hot Exercise Motivators
Thursday, December 14th, 2006
Lots of recreational exercise may reduce post menopausal womens’ chances of getting breast cancer, a study reported in late 2006. One more important reason to get, as The Maui Diet recommends, daily aerobic exercise.
If you need more reasons, reminders or motivators to exercise, here they are. Refer to these when you don’t feel like exercising, then get out there and burn some calories!
•Physical exercise releases endorphins that make us feel good.
•Exercise increases blood flow throughout the brain, which nourishes it so that it can function at its peak, and favorably affect our moods.
•Exercise increases blood flow to all of the body. A body that is constricted doesn’t feel good.
•Exercise has been linked to a better sex life, for both males and females.
•Exercise gives exercisers a general sense of well being that those who are sedentary don’t experience. They have increased energy and a healthy appetite. They sleep well and are usually happier.
•A program of exercise makes many people feel just as good as if they were taking antidepressant medications or other pharmaceuticals.
•Exercise improves work performance. One study showed workers who exercised improved their mental performance, time management and ability to meet deadlines.
•Exercise is essential to good health in our fast-paced, stressful lives.
•Exercise gives us more energy and keeps us from feeling lethargic.
•Exercise increases metabolism. It also helps keep our appetite in balance, and keeps our weight down.
•Exercise helps normalize melatonin production in the brain and enhances the sleep cycle.
The most remarkable of all are new studies showing findings showing exercise may well spur growth in a brain structure associated with memory, leading to improved function, no matter what your age. And scientists are coaxing the brain into growing new cells, by putting people on an aerobic workout program. Exercise–there’s nothing like it.
