The Big Eight... Reasons to Exercise

You'll feel better! The more active you are, the more energetic you feel. Exercise improves the efficiency of the lungs and the circulatory system. And it increases the supply of glycogen, a muscle fuel, to make you feel less fatigued.

You'll smile more. People who exercise regularly are more likely to be relaxed, optimistic, energetic, better disciplined and sleep better. 

Your bones will be stronger. Exercise is the main prevention for osteoporosis. 

It's good for your blood pressure. Several studies show how regular exercise reduces blood pressure in both normal and hypertensive people.

Your appetite will be reduces.  Besides burning calories, regular exercises for an hour a day suppresses hunger and increases the rate at which calories are burning for as long as six hours afterwards.

Your heart will be stronger! Exercise strengthens the heart muscle.

You'll be more attractive. If you do not exercise the ratio of body fat to lean muscle tissue goes up. At the same weight, you'll have a thicker waist, wider hips and your body will not be as firm.

You'll be more effective at work. Fit employees are better workers. Studies show you will have more energy, higher productivity and better emotional balance in times of stress.
