We understand the frustrations that you have when
it comes to your body. We know all about your insecurities over the size of
your thighs and how hopeless that can feel.
The answer to your body frustrations is to get
you up off the couch and into the gym, day after day. So here’s our pep talk in
bullet form—21 rewards that you will gain from regular exercise.
Do yourself a favor and print this list and post
it where you’ll see it every day. When you need motivation or encouragement,
simply read over this list and take action.
Remember that action alleviates anxiety. So
whenever you’re feeling anxious over the current shape of your body, take that
as a reminder to jump into action. And then begin to reap these 21 rewards
of exercise...
1. You’ll reset your body: Exercise
has been described as a giant reset button. A good workout will block appetite
swings, improve your mood and even help you sleep.
2. Your clothes will fit better:
Consistent exercise will tone and tighten your body, causing your clothes to
not only fit better but to also look nicer. Also exercise ensures that soon
you’ll be trading your clothes in for smaller sizes.
3. You’ll be less stressed: You
have enough stress in your life—it’s time for a break. A good workout
invigorates your muscles, leaving you relaxed and less stressed.
4. You’ll have more energy:
WebMD tallied research studies and concluded that 90% of the studies done prove
exercise increases energy levels in sedentary patients. Next time you feel
fatigued, fight it with the most powerful tool available: exercise.
5. You’ll be stronger: Exercise
improves muscle strength and endurance, two things that you use throughout each
day. When you exercise consistently you’ll be pleasantly surprised when
difficult tasks begin to seem easy.
6. You’ll be less likely to binge:
Exercise has a powerful anti-binge effect on the body. This is due in part by
an increase in sensitivity to leptin, a protein hormone, which has an
appetite-taming effect.
7. You’ll burn calories: You
know that excess body fat is made up of stored and unused calories. Fight back
by burning loads of calories with fat-blasting workouts.
8. You’ll be more confident: Who
doesn’t wish they walked and talked with more confidence? A consistent exercise
program will do just that. As your body becomes more fit, watch as your
confidence sky-rockets.
9. You’ll have fun:
Believe it or not, exercise can be extremely enjoyable. Remember how fun it was
to run around as a child? Tap into your inner child as you find a mode of
exercise that gets you excited.
10. You’ll reduce your blood pressure:
Exercise has been proven more effective than medication in reducing blood
pressure to normal levels. A single workout has been shown to reduce blood
pressure for the day and regular exercise reduces overall blood pressure in the
long run.
11. You’ll lose the jiggles:
Regular exercise tightens flabby arms, legs and waistlines. So wave goodbye to
the jiggles with a solid exercise program.
12. You’ll increase insulin sensitivity: Researchers
at Laval University in Quebec discovered that exercise improved insulin
sensitivity dramatically. Peak after-meal insulin levels dropped by more than
20 percent after as little as 3 weeks of consistent exercise.
13. You’ll sleep better: Do
you toss and turn for hours before falling asleep? Exercise is a powerful sleep
aid. Your tired muscles encourage your body to quickly fall asleep so they can
get their overnight repair work done.
14. You’ll lower your risk of heart disease:
Regular exercise strengthens your heart and makes it more resilient against
disease. A sedentary lifestyle is a major risk factor for heart disease, so
rest assured that consistent exercise is your ally against disease.
15. You’ll feel great:
Vigorous exercise releases natural endorphins (happy hormones) into your blood
stream that dissolve pain and anxiety. You’ve probably heard of ‘runner’s
high’, this can be achieved by any great workout.
16. You’ll lower your risk of diabetes:
Studies show that exercising as little as half an hour each day can
dramatically reduce your risk of diabetes. If you are at risk of diabetes, or
already have diabetes, regular exercise is the most effective treatment for
reversing the disease.
17. You’ll meet cool people: You
could benefit from a group of new, energetic friends, right? Gyms, bootcamps,
workout centers and even the jogging trail are all great places to connect with
fun new friends.
18. You’ll improve your BMI: You
know that maintaining a healthy BMI is key in disease prevention. Exercise is
the best way to keep your BMI under control.
19. You’ll increase your endurance: Do
you ever get out of breath when walking up stairs or through the mall? Regular
exercise builds your endurance for everyday activities.
20. Your doctor will be impressed: How
many times has your doctor given you the lecture about losing weight and
exercising more? Exercise regularly and get your MD off your back!
21. You’ll look amazing: Are
you happy with the shape and size of your body? Regular exercise works wonders
on your physique. Within a few weeks you’ll see shape and tone in all the right
places.
Are you ready to alleviate your anxiety by taking
action? Good!
