\nExercising regularly has a whole range of benefits and is one of the most important things we can do as a population. It can, however, sometimes be tedious and frustrating and it can be easy to lose sight of goals or intentions.<\/p>\n

7 great reasons to exercise regularly<\/h2>\n

Before starting any exercise routine or program, it may be important to seek clearance from a doctor or physio if you have any underlying conditions or seek the aid of a trainer if you\u2019re not certain on technique or form with any exercise movements.<\/p>\n

Health, hormones & happiness<\/h3>\n

Exercising regularly with a mix of weight training and cardio has been shown to increase fitness levels and overall health by reducing the risk of potentially fatal conditions such as stroke, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and more.<\/p>\n

Exercising regularly releases a range of hormones and neurotransmitters in our body which can have a positive impact on our state of mind. Serotonin released in exercise can assist in stabilising our mood and decrease anxiety and depression and even assist in maintaining bone health. Exercise has also shown to increase levels of dopamine in the body. Dopamine is a key neurotransmitter responsible for the pleasure or reward system which can create a positive mood, can assist in weight loss and can aid in creating a positive routine for exercise.<\/p>\n

Injury prevention<\/h3>\n

Injury prevention is a massive reason and incentive for those starting to exercise. The increased growth of muscle around our joints and bones assists in their support and protects us from daily activities and stressors. Weight lifting has regularly been shown to increase bone density, especially in aging females and those who have of brittle bones. Building up muscle through your core and back also assists in injury prevention in day to day activities such as picking up objects, reaching for the children or even carrying the shopping.<\/p>\n

Muscle mass and strength<\/h3>\n

Exercising regularly increases strength through our muscles and also increases our muscle tone. Strength in our muscles can support and stabilise our joints while increases in muscle tone can increase the efficiency of our muscles which will further increase our fitness levels with oxygen conversion and waste removal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Aesthetic appeal<\/h3>\n

Exercising regularly naturally brings with it an aesthetic appeal that can motivate men and women alike. Through the process of weight training and building up muscle tone, our bodies will begin to lose more fat, resulting in a more toned and appealing physique. Exercising regularly helps to facilitate weight loss, which is also a positive aesthetic desire.<\/p>\n

Weight control<\/h3>\n

While exercising, we burn calories and exhaust our energy supply. When we burn calories, in addition to eating fewer calories through our diet, we, in turn, go into a calorie deficit. Meaning we will burn more than we intake and thus, lose weight.<\/p>\n

While the method of exercising for weight loss is good in theory, the notion that exercising like a machine will overrule a terrible diet is incorrect, and in order to healthily lose weight and stay in a healthy weight range, we must balance positive food and dietary options with a well-rounded exercise regime.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Energy<\/h3>\n

As previously mentioned, exercising regularly releases neurotransmitters that can have a positive impact on our mental wellbeing and our overall health. A combination of these changes in our chemical composition as a result of exercising, paired with some weight loss and physical conditioning, leads to significantly increased energy levels.<\/p>\n

On a biological level, increases in aerobic activity have shown to increase the levels of mitochondria (organelles that generate energy) in our cells. Having increased levels of mitochondria translates to more efficient energy conversion for our cells.<\/p>\n

Fun, social, community<\/h3>\n

Finally, being active in a gym or the health and fitness industry creates a massively positive community that can help to support you in your goals. Belonging to an exercise community can help you find and establish new friendships and reinforce positivity in your life.<\/p>\n
