Importance of exercise
1 Exercise controls weight
Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help maintain weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn.
2 Exercise combats health conditions and diseases. Regular exercise helps prevent or manage many health problems and concerns, including:
Stroke
Metabolic syndrome
High blood pressure
Type 2 diabetes
Depression
Anxiety
Many types of cancer
Arthritis
Falls
3 Exercise improves mood
Need an emotional lift? Or need to blow off some steam after a stressful day? A gym session or brisk walk can help. Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier, more relaxed and less anxious.
4 Exercise boosts energy
5 Exercise can be fun and social!
6 Builds muscle mass.
7 Keeps bones strong.
A normal age-related change is the loss of bone mineral strength.
8 Builds aerobic power. Your aerobic capacity is your body’s ability to work at maximum capacity by getting oxygen from the air to your body’s tissues.
9 Boosts memory.
10 Brings about better sleep.
