Bodily training is beneficial. Yet, many who say "I need to exercise” just don’t seem too eager to follow through.
If you feel similarly,
consider three payoffs to having a good exercise program.
Payoff 1. Exercise boosts
your immune system. If
you can’t find time to exercise, you’d better find time to be sick.
Payoff 2. Exercise
releases chemicals into the brain that calm you. Running is a good release when you have a lot
on my mind. Physically you'll feel refreshed, and emotionally it’s a great
relief.
Payoff 3. Exercise can
increase your fun. Outdoors exercise
like swimming and biking.
Secret to
Success: Devote at least 20
minutes three times a week to a vigorous physical activity that you
enjoy.
Remember this: While genetics play a role, your physical
condition is often determined by the lifestyle you choose. So when you say “I
need to exercise,” the choice is yours; you can do something
about it!
