I know so many people who will do anything to avoid exercise, whether they're losing weight or not. I don't really understand it -- I love exercise and I'd rather work out lots than have to cut out certain foods, but to each their own, right? I'm glad I love exercise because it is so, so good for you. Here are just some highlights of the ways exercise can improve your life:
  • It increases your energy level
  • It helps you sleep better
  • It reduces tension in both your mind and body
  • It improves concentration and decision-making skills
  • It boosts self-confidence
  • It helps clean waste from your body
  • It reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety
  • It improves your sex life
It sounds like some sort of snake-oil 'miracle' drug that's being marketed on late-night TV but exercise does all this and more. Since I established a regular routine, I've experienced all of these benefits. For example, I used to be an insomniac, but since I started working out, I haven't had a sleepless night in a year at least. I feel better than ever and I know you will too if you get off the couch and start getting active. So what are you waiting for?
