Exercise: What's In It For You?Writen by Chris Callegari
Thats the real questionisnt it?
Just like anything else in life, right? (to a certain extent for most people)
I mean, whats in it for you when you take that new job, or when you help clean the house, or when you do favors for people?
Money? Compliments? Favors? Food?
Well, people think of exercise the same way (this is a negative way of thinking, but I digress).
So, what WILL exercise do for you? I thought youd never ask, lol.
According to the US Surgeon Generals Report, here are some benefits (there are literally hundreds) to a regular exercise regimen:
1.Improves your chances of living longer and living healthier hmm, sound familiar? Its all a game of percentages, guys.
2.Helps protect you from developing heart disease, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol of course, what kind of food you put in your hungry little mouth and something to do with this also..but exercise is a HUGE way to decrease the possibility of these things happening.
3.Helps protect you from developing certain cancers, including colon and breast cancer once again, a major benefit.
4.Relieves the symptoms of depression and anxiety and improves mood Forget the crazy pills that many people are taking.get out and get moving, this will likely get you in an improved frame of mind.
5.Controls weight Ding, ding, ding!!! We have a winnerIve been telling you guys this forever!
Need I go on???
As you can see, these are NOT minor benefits, or benefits that may help you a little.these are major, possibly life-saving benefits for you and your family. If this doesnt knock you upside the head, just write me an e-mail stating that you still dont understand the massive benefits of exercise and fitness, and Ill come over there and knock you upside the head myself, lol.
What you must realize is that even a TINY change in your lifestyle can start the process to massive health changes in your life. You have to want it, you have to believe, and you have to come up with a plan. I guarantee you, its not that hard..when you put your mind to it, starting an exercise program is fun, enlightening, and empowering.
The benefits that I have listed (and the hundreds of others I didnt list) are so massive, that you should be compelled to go start an exercise program right now.have you started yet?
