Fitness facts
01.07.08
Do you want to be sharper and more productive at work? Do you want to feel less tired when you are at home? Do you want to spend more quality time with your spouse/partner and family? Would you like to enjoy having a cookie without feeling guilty? EXERCISE is the answer! These fitness facts support this answer:
1. Exercise boosts brainpower - exercise increases energy levels, it increases serotonin in the brain resulting in improved mental clarity and increased productivity.
2. Movement melts away stress - exercise has a relaxing response that helps to elevate your mood and keeping depression at bay.
3. Exercise gives you energy - during exercise endorphins are released into your bloodstream and you will feel more energised for the rest of the day.
4. It is not that hard to find time for exercise - squeezing 2 or 3 short sessions of 15 to 20 minutes of activity in throughout the day can be just as effective as doing it all at once. E.g. jump rope, brisk walk, run, play with the kids, ride bike with the kids.
5. Fitness can help build and improve relationships - exercise is more fun if you have someone to do it with and people who have exercise partners stay with their programs and reach their goals more often than those trying to do it alone.
