As I mentioned before, going to the gym is not really my ideal thing to do; however, I have a gym membership so I am in the gym at least once a week. Being active does not mean you have to be in the gym (read my posting on being active outside of the gym). But being active is a necessary part of life if you would like to live a healthier lifestyle.Benefits of Exercising:
- Keeps Disease Away.Exercising helps lower the risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, high blood pressure and diabetes.
- Lowers Risk of Obesity. Exercising gets rid of those unwanted calories and thus lowers the chance of being obese.
- Helps Lower Stress. Exercising can be used as a way to relax. And it can also help you feel better about yourself, and give you more confidence.
- Improves the Mind. There are studies that show that exercising can help with depression and other psychological disorders.
Below is a video of some simple exercises that can be done at home.
