.
Every single person on this planet needs some form of exercise every now and then. It doesn’t matter whether you are working at an office or flying a plane, it’s essential that you get your heart rate up every once in a while.
.
We have to underline that it also doesn’t matter what kind of exercise you do, it is only important that you are physically active.
.
You may wonder why are we telling you all of this, so we prepared a list of 7 reasons that will help you understand.

Include Exercise In Your Daily Routine ~ Reason #1
Feel Good!
.
Everybody wants to feel good. That is common knowledge and it has always been like that. Exercising will make your body release hormones that directly impact your mood. You’ll feel better and you’ll also feel happier.
.
Endorphins and dopamine are released when your body goes through a workout and exactly those hormones affect how you feel. You will feel better and you’ll get rid of stress.
.

Include Exercise In Your Daily Routine ~ Reason #2
Look Good!
.
People who exercise regularly look good. If you are looking to cut a few pounds you can hit the treadmill.
.
If you want to build muscles, you can hit the weights. Running, lifting, playing basketball or simply jogging can significantly improve your body image. Better body image means better self-esteem and confidence.
.
However, it is best that you choose appropriate bodybuilding clothing if you opt for a gym membership. Your self-esteem can suffer a lot if you fail to dress properly for the gym.

Heart Health
.
We’ll put it plain and simple – exercising is good for your heart. Sitting around every day in front of a computer screen is just bad for you in every way.
.
Exercising or better yet, doing cardio is an easy way to fight heart disease, blood pressure and stroke. If you jog for 30 minutes every day, you’ll significantly reduce the risk of cardiac arrest. Bear that in mind, please.

Eliminate Depression
.
.
Another great perk of exercising is that it fights depression. Exercising is hands down the most natural way of fighting it.
.
.
.
.
We’ve already said that exercising releases those ‘feel-good’ chemicals, but we have to underline that in long-term these chemicals reduce stress and anxiety. So, instead of eating junk food and watching movies all day, you should do a bit of exercise. We guarantee that you won’t feel depressed anymore.

Improve Sleep Quality
.
There are quite a few studies that prove that good sleep stems from exercising on a regular basis. Many studies claim that individuals who exercise for at least 150 minutes a week feel a significant improvement in their sleep quality.
.
On top of that, they claim that they feel less sleepy during the day. Not only will you sleep better if you exercise, but you’ll also eliminate that annoying feeling of being exhausted in the afternoon. Students will surely appreciate this piece of advice.

Include Exercise In Your Daily Routine ~ Reason #6
Improve & Maintain A Healthy Brain
.
Various studies have proven that exercising has many benefits for the brain. Exercising on a regular basis can improve cognitive function; that means better memory and better critical thinking.
.
On top of that, exercising increases the production of new brain cells and it also slows down the cognitive decline.

Weight Control / Loss
.
If you feel like you should lose a pound or two, exercising is what you should do. However, many people exercise only to lose weight and as soon as they reach that goal they stop. We advise you not to do that.
.
You have to be consistent. Exercising burns calories and the more intense the exercise the more calories you’ll burn. However, after you reach your weight goal do not stop. You can modify your workouts or shorten the duration but do not stop. You’ll regret it. You don’t want those annoying pounds to come back, right?
.
.
.
We hope that you’ll think about exercising after you read this text. We live in a world where more and more people die of obesity, stroke and high blood pressure and these are a result of a lack of physical activity.
.
On top of that, following these suggestions isn’t so hard. Be persistent and your body will thank you for it.
