Being Fit is about more Than Just Looking Good
While some individuals might be
able to jump out of bed, throw on
their exercise clothes and head down
the road for a brisk jog, others are
quick to hit the snooze button and
go back to sleep. They are lucky to
drag themselves out of bed in the
morning just to get to work, let
alone the gym. If they are able the
make it to the gym to fit in a
workout routine, they feel sorry for
themselves the whole time. For some individuals, physical activity takes a
significant amount of effort and dedication.
The benefits that come with working out are well worth the effort that goes
into it. Just think about all of the different health benefits that come with
working out on a regular basis. If you are putting off exercising because you
are worried about injuries, that is one of the worst excuses you can make.
The benefits far outweigh any of the risks involved. To reap the maximum
benefits of working out, you need to eat right and live a healthy lifestyle as
well.

cardiovascular disease is going to decrease. All you need is 2.5 hours of

cancer, while for men it means colon cancer. Staying fit will also help to
decrease your chance of lung cancer and endometrial cancer.
Increasing Your Overall Bone Strength
Osteoporosis occurs when the bones become fragile and are more prone to
fractures. Even though this might be associated with aging, staying fit can
help in this regard. Weight-bearing exercises tend to force your muscles to
come off the bone, thus influencing the bones ability to handle the added
stress.
Mental Health Improves as Well
Beyond affecting your physical body, being in shape also changes your
mental health for the better. Regular exercise can help to boost your mood
and reduce depression. You wonāt have issues sleeping either. Staying fit as
you grow older will also prevent your cognitive abilities from declining.
