I think we can all agree that there’s SO MUCH information out there about what fitness can do for you physically. You see all the pictures of athletes, or even fitness-enthusiasts in sports bras posing for the camera. And, it’s true; if you’re training for a certain physique, working out and sticking to a nutrition plan can do that for you! However, there are so many other benefits that have nothing to do with physicality! So, in this week’s blog, I’m sharing what those are.
1). Emotional/Mental Health
I’m sure this comes as no surprise, but having somewhere to put all of your nervous energy does wonders for you! I know I personally feel so much better after a workout, and my head is so much clearer than it was before.
2). Reduces Risk of Certain Illnesses
For anyone who has certain illnesses that run in their family, it’s so important to start focusing on your health sooner rather than later! By doing so, you’re helping to prevent those illnesses in your own life.
3). Helps with Overall Mobility/Movement
It’s always important that we keep ourselves active and moving! Even if your favorite form of exercise is a daily walk, this can do wonders to keep you mobile and active, especially as you get older.
4). Improves Your Mood
When you workout, your body releases endorphins. This means you feel happier! This is why so many people who deal with mental health issues have a workout regimen; it helps them keep their mood in check. For other people, it just helps them feel good!
Which one of these resonates the most with you? Would you consider starting a regular exercise/nutrition plan? Share in the comments!
