As the experts in women’s health, fitness and wellness, we could literally talk for days about the benefits of regularly hitting the gym! Whether you need to kickstart a fitness routine or you only work out on occasion, getting regular exercise will elevate your physical and mental wellbeing in so many ways.
Benefits of exercise
- Exercise boosts your mood. Feel happier with regular exercise! When you’re working out, the production of endorphins is increased, creating a positive mood and even decreasing feelings of depression, anxiety and stress.
- Maintain strong bones and muscles. Exercise, especially weight and strength training, promotes building muscle and reduces muscle loss as you age. Additionally, exercise also builds bone density which can prevent osteoporosis later in life.
- Combat disease and health conditions. Prevent high blood pressure and cholesterol, improve blood flow, and lower the risk of stroke, diabetes, arthritis and more with regular exercise.
- Manage weight. Getting a regular sweat session in can prevent weight gain and help maintain weight loss.
- Boost your energy. Keeping active regularly can improve endurance and make your cardiovascular system work more efficiently.
- Enjoy better sleep. Fall asleep faster, deepen your sleep and feel fresh. Keep in mind that exercising too close to bedtime can give you a burst of energy, which is the opposite of what we want when we’re hopping into bed!
