Regular exercise provides numerous benefits, including improved muscle strength, energy levels, and cardiovascular health, while also reducing stress and enhancing cognitive functions like memory and learning. Participating in group classes and challenges can motivate individuals to achieve fitness goals and bolster self-confidence. Proper nutrition is essential for supporting exercise, though reliance on supplements should be cautious due to potential health risks associated with misuse of steroids.

1. BENEFITS OF GYM.
PRESENTED BY RAMENDRA CHAUHAN

2. • Exercise doesn't just strengthen your muscles, it
also strengthens your heart and bones, lowers your
blood pressure and of course, reduces your body
fat. Exercise boosts energy. ... Regular physical
activity can improve your muscle strength and
boost your endurance. Exercise delivers oxygen
and nutrients to your tissues and helps your
cardiovascular system work more efficiently. And
when your heart and lung health improve, you have
more energy to tackle daily chores.

3. BE CHALLENGED
• If you’re looking for a fitness challenge, look no further!
The Goodlife 12 Week Challenge and shorter 8 Week
Challenge both offer a targeted exercise and nutrition
program to help you achieve long-term and life-changing
results. Goodlife gyms also have one of the biggest group
fitness class offerings including 30 minute functional
workout class - Emily Skye Ignite and the latest fitness
trend fusing Pilates, yoga and dance - Bootybarre.

4. SELF MOTIVATION
• You either love exercise or you
have to drag yourself along to
get it done! If you’re one of the
latter, heading to the gym and
being around others who are in
the same situation as you can be
just the incentive and motivation
you need to keep going. You
might even find yourself
converting into an exercise lover
when you’re heading to the gym
on a more regular basis, hitting
your fitness goals and seeing
results on the inside and out

5. Reduce stress
One of the most common mental benefits of
exercise is stress relief. Working up a sweat can
help manage physical and mental stress. Exercise
also increases concentrations of norepinephrine, a
chemical that can moderate the brain’s response to
stress. So go ahead and get sweaty — working out
can reduce stress and boost the body’s ability to
deal with existing mental tension.

6. Sharpen memory
• Regular physical activity boosts memory
and ability to learn new things. Getting
sweaty increases production of cells in
hippocampus responsible for memory and
learning . For this reason, research has
linked children’s brain development with
level of physical fitness (take that, recess
haters!). But exercise-based brainpower
isn’t just for kids. Even if it’s not as fun as
a game of Red Rover, working out can
boost memory among grown-ups, too. A
study showed that running sprints
improved vocabulary retention among
healthy adults .

7. Boost brainpower
• Various studies on mice and men have shown that
cardiovascular exercise can create new brain cells
(aka neurogenesis) and improve overall brain performance .
Ready to apply for a Nobel Prize? Studies suggest that a tough
workout increases levels of a brain-derived protein (known
as BDNF) in the body, believed to help with decision making,
higher thinking, and learning. Smarty (spandex) pants, indeed.

8. Boost happy chemicals
• Exercise releases endorphins, which create
feelings of happiness and euphoria. Studies have
shown that exercise can even alleviate symptoms
among the clinically depressed . For this reason,
docs recommend that people suffering
from depression or anxiety (or those who are just
feeling blue) pencil in plenty of gym time. In some
cases, exercise can be just as effective as
antidepressant pills in treating depression.

9. Improve self-confidence
• On a very basic level,
physical fitness can
boost self-esteem and
improve positive self-image.
Regardless of weight, size,
gender, or age, exercise can
quickly elevate a person's
perception of his or her
attractiveness, that is, self-
worth .

10. Increase relaxation
• Ever hit the hay after a long run or weight session at the gym? For
some, a moderate workout can be the equivalent of a sleeping pill,
even for people with insomnia . Moving around five to six hours
before bedtime raises the body’s core temperature. When the body
temp drops back to normal a few hours later, it signals the body that
it’s time to sleep .

11. Inspire others
• Whether it’s a pick-up game of
soccer, a group class at the gym, or
just a run with a friend, exercise
rarely happens in a bubble. And that’s
good news for all of us. Studies show
that most people perform better on
aerobic tests when paired up with a
workout buddy . Pin it to inspiration
or good old-fashioned competition,
nobody wants to let the other person
down. In fact, being part of a team is
so powerful that it can actually raise
athletes’ tolerances for pain . Even
fitness beginners can inspire each
other to push harder during a sweat
session, so find a workout buddy and
get moving!

12. The Importance of Nutrition
• Eat protein to support your muscle mass. Protein is made up of amino
acids that help with cellular function and muscle repair. Healthy carbs
provide superior fuel for hard workouts and well-defined muscle.
There is a difference between good and bad carbohydrates and
nutrient dense carbs are recommended.

13. IS SUPPLEMENTS GOOD FOR
HEALTH?
• Usually it is best to try to get these
vitamins and minerals and nutrients from
food as opposed to supplements,. Fruits,
vegetables, fish, and otherhealthy foods
contain nutrients and other substances
not found in a pill, which work together to
keep us healthy.

14. WHY SUPPLEMENTS ARE
IMPORTANT?
• A healthful, balanced diet supplies
the body with sufficient nutrients to
carry out routine
tasks. Supplements such as vitamins,
minerals, essential fatty acids,
phytochemicals, and more enrich the
body's internal environment to fortify
cellular protection, repair, and
regeneration and support the
Renewal process.
