Benefits of Exercise

Fact #1 : What is the fun fact about exercise

People who don’t regularly exercise may lose up to 80% of their muscle strength by age 65. Regular exercise has been shown to help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, two major risk factors for heart disease. Not only is exercise good for your body, but it can also improve mental functioning and mood.

Fact #2: What happens if you don’t exercise?

If you do less exercise or activity you will become deconditioned. Your muscles weaken and lose bulk including the muscles you need for breathing and the large muscles in your legs and arms. You will become more breathless as you do less activity.

Fact #3 : Benefits to your brain

Exercise strengthens your all parts of your brain tissue, including gray matter, Dr. Ratley says. This makes your brain more resistant to stress and aging. So if you stop working out, your gray matter may take a hit, potentially setting the stage for problems processing information and thinking critically.

Fact #4 : Muscle gain, Burn Fat than Muscle

Exercise builds and strengthens muscles, which can protect the bones from injury, and support and protect joints affected by arthritis. Strong muscles also give stability and improve balance and coordination. Exercise also improves blood supply to the muscles and increases their capacity to use oxygen.

Fact #6 Good Hormones will be released
