WHY I EXERCISE
Exercising has benefited me in so many ways. I lift weights, run, swim, bike, have competed in triathlons, played baseball, and softball most of my life. I discovered as a mature adult that I have been able to maintain strength in my muscles, bones, and joints.
I also have noticed improvement in managing my weight, mood, memory, and overall quality of life. I definitely feel better and younger. My energy, flexibility, and increased endurance have also been positive outcomes. Other benefits from exercise are lower blood pressure, decrease stress, and can help with depression.
It is important to build an exercise foundation by starting slowly and gradually increasing activity. I exercise on a daily routine basis which has become a normal activity in my life. By exercising 30 minutes a day, you will see results within a few weeks. No matter what exercise I do, I feel better when I’m done. I love the benefits of working out.
