Exercise makes you feel happy! - A good quality of life is something we all aspire to and for this we need to feel happy, self-confident and to have good health. Taking exercise can really make a difference and being fit will increase your chance of enjoying all aspects of your life.
If you do not exercise you are really missing out on the wonderful feel-good factor that exercise brings and that we all need. Any exercise will do and there is some kind of exercise for everyone no matter what your age or size. It makes you feel good about yourself.
How does exercise make you happy?
Exercising releases a mood-boosting chemical in your brain called serotonin, which makes you feel positive and happy, so it has to be a great start to the day. There is evidence recognized by the Mental Health Foundation that exercise is an effective treatment for depression. Taking exercise is always a positive thing to do and it banishes negative feelings and leaves you feeling better. Psychologically, exercise causes a boost in self-esteem, and makes you feel positive about your body. When you have taken some exercise you have feelings of accomplishment as well as a break from the other aspects of life. While studies show that after exercising you feel happier are well documented, the chemical processes behind the immediate exercise high are less well documented. But I do know that I always feel very pleased with myself when I am leaving the gym.
Regular physical activity helps the circulatory system deliver oxygen and nutrients around the body and the removal of toxins and waste products. It also improves the condition of the skin, reduces the rate of bone loss, the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. Even regular moderate exercise helps control weight and builds and maintains strong and healthy bones, muscles and joints. You can start really gently and it still brings benefits. Take a tip from me: you always feel better for exercising. So if you are trying to persuade yourself to go to the gym take the positive decision and go. You will always feel much better for going and exercising than sitting at home resting and you will have more energy.
How to get started
Mini-morning workout
I always believe that exercise first thing in the morning is giving the best part of the day to yourself. Taking exercise in the morning fills you with positive energy for the day. To help you get started, I invite you to download my award winning mini-morning workout from ardenhealth.com or email for a free copy to minian@ardenhealth.com.
Take a daily walk
Walking keeps you in touch with nature as well as giving you some quiet time to feel at peace. Walking is good exercise for everyone as it does not jar the joints and you can do it at your own pace. Parks and beaches are wonderfully peaceful in the evenings and early mornings. Most have ladies’ and children’s days. Walking is an excellent tool for the heart as a one of the top cardiologists told me: “Each step you walk regulates your heartbeat.”
Swim to be stress-free
If you are feeling stressed after a busy day or are feeling anxious, a swim will make you feel calmer as you glide through the water. If you have joint problems swimming is a good exercise for you as it supports your weight. The overweight has an advantage in this sport, as your weight will help you float. A swim is great for your heart and lungs and is a lifetime sport that benefits the body and the person as a whole. A swim almost guarantees you a blissful night’s sleep. Aim for a weekly swim.
Dance to the music
Any form of dancing is great fun and makes you feel good. All cultures have traditional dances so practice your own cultural dances with your friends. Or just put on a CD and enjoy. Zumba dance classes are the new craze in the UK and are not too difficult and great fun for ladies.
One final reason why exercise will make you happy is that it is the best anti-aging potion ever and it’s free. ( arabnews.com )
