Top Ten Reasons To Exercise1. Live Longer. - Your heart is a muscle, if you never exercise it won't last as long as a toned one. 2. Increase your lung power. - Be able to breathe easier by working your lungs (such as in aerobics.) You won't get winded as easily. 3. Improve your self-esteem. - Look better to yourself. Give yourself something to feel good about. 4. Lose weight. - Most important of all, you can't lose weight on diet alone, exercise is absolutely crucial here. 5. Be more attractive. - Look better to others, look desirable! 6. Regular exercise helps with sleep disorders. - There are studies that suggest regular exercise to deal with insomnia and similar disorders. 7. Improve your metabolism. - Muscles burn calories faster, and not having so much fat makes your body use what you put into it. 8. Strengthen your bones. - Regular exertion with small weights strengthen and improve your bone health. 9. Lower your blood pressure. - By exercising and eating well you can lower your blood pressure, avoiding hypertension and other diseases. 10. Avoid frozen joints and muscular atrophy. - Sedentary lifestyles can cause your body to become stiff and weak from underuse. Exercise corrects this by making your body move as much as it was meant to.
