1. Burns calories and and Raises your Metabolism
2. Exercise combats health conditions and diseases - Worried about heart disease? Hoping to prevent high blood pressure? No matter what your current weight, being active boosts high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or "good," cholesterol and decreases unhealthy triglycerides. This one-two punch keeps your blood flowing smoothly, which decreases your risk of cardiovascular diseases. In fact, regular physical activity can help you prevent or manage a wide range of health problems and concerns, including stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, depression, certain types of cancer, arthritis and falls.
3. Improves Mood - Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed. You may also feel better about your appearance and yourself when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem.
4. Controls Stress
5. Boosts Energy - Exercise and physical activity deliver oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and help your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. And when your heart and lungs work more efficiently, you have more energy.
6. Exercise promotes better sleep - Regular physical activity can help you fall asleep faster and deepen your sleep.
7. Lowers Bad Cholesterol (Low-density Lipoprotein) and Triglycerides – As you age, cholesterol numbers begin to move in the wrong direction. Levels of so-called bad cholesterol (LDL) gradually increase and levels of good cholesterol, called high-density lipoprotein (HDL), tend to fall. That combination of high LDL and low HDL is one of the leading risk factors for heart disease, arthrosclerosis and heart attacks.
8. Reduces Inflammation - Regular exercise has been shown to reduce levels of C-reactive protein, a measure of inflammation which increases your risk for heart attack and stroke.
