Benefits from exercise

The emphasis on the long-term goal of weight loss to people starting fitness or exercise programs can be discouraging. People have trouble sticking with something if they do not see results quickly. People should also be aware of the improvement in their level of functioning in the activities of daily living. That can serve as the motivation to keep at it and following through with their exercise and fitness program. So if weight loss is your goal for starting an exercise or fitness program, do not make it your only goal. Strive to feel better about yourself, to have more energy, to be less stressed. Notice the small things that exercise does for you quickly, rather than getting hung up on the narrow goal of the number on the scale. With a goal of losing weight and enhancing and improving physical and emotional health, exercise has to become a part of a person’s life, not an afterthought.
