Comments (9)After a long day of work/school the last thing on our minds is exercise. Most of the time we are too busy worrying about things like making dinner, hanging out with friends, relaxing, ect. What we often forget is how important it is to exercise on a regular basis. Routine exercise can actually help us get more accomplished during the week and improve our lives in many areas. The following is just a few of the many benefits that regular exercise can bring.
Improved health
Improved sleep patterns
Increased energy
More confidence
Improved attitude
Live longer
Stronger muscles
Lose excess weight
More attractive to the opposite sex
Lowers blood pressure
Reduce stress
There are many different ways to exercise. The important thing is discovering what works for you.
Some people like running, lifting weights, or going to the gym. I am definitely not one of those people ha ha ha. I just can’t stay stationary in a gym staring at a white wall or a TV while I exercise.
Some people would rather be outdoors hiking, kayaking, or bike riding. I love doing these things but they do take a lot of time out of my day. I just don’t have an entire day every week to devote to exercise. They can however be a very fun and healthy activity to enjoy with friends.
Many other people prefer to join some kind of exercise club. This one seems to work the best for me. It only lasts a few hours a few days a week. This is great for my busy schedule. The people will often help motivate you to keep coming and hopefully you will enjoy going. Some exercise groups involve yoga, curves, martial arts, basketball, softball, swimming, personal trainers, tennis, soccer, walking with a neighbor or spouse, dancing, and all sorts of other activities.
Have a great weekend. 
Getting them too are fun too, and even more lovely when they are...

I definitely agree! The hard part is getting out of the house. I find that the more I get into a routine the easier it is to keep, it’s once I start making those little excuses… that’s what gets me off track!
Thanks for the motivation. I am trying to incorporate more exercise into my life – just seem to busy to go to the gym. I have started using stretch bands and incorporating a few minutes of stretching, several times a day. I just can’t seem to get away from the computer and moves I can do at my desk are also helpful. Wishing you the best.
Thanks great . Please visit my Blog also.
I would agree that all except running are good exercise. I have been doing massage for over 20 years and have found running to be detrimental, in the long run, to the joints and organs and overall health. Yes, a good deal of my clients are runners, triathalons and extreme marathoners…but I just put them back togethter.
Stretching, breathing, and excercise seem to extend longevity and help the person to enjoy that longevity. With runners…we have to work a good deal to keep things in balance.
Yes, I agree! It’s hard to get back on track after a few weeks of being sedentary though. It’s a slippery slope
I agree! Great info. I hope you don’t mind but I used some of this info for my site.
I like to play on the Wii Fit. It gets me moving and I work up a sweat! I like to swim too. Movement and just getting out there for a walk is helpful!
