There are so many benefits to exercise. This blog post is just a reminder of a few reasons why. Read on to see our favorite wellness benefits of exercise.

Exercise can help you control your weight. To maintain your weight, calories in must equal calories out. To lose weight, calories in must be less than calories you burn. So adding an extra workout can help account for these factors.

Regularly working out can help you manage blood sugar and insulin levels. This benefit of exercise can reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Exercise can also help you manage these diseases if you already have one. If that isn’t enough, regular exercise can also reduce your risk of heart disease and some cancers – including colon, breast, uterine, and lung cancer.

One of the most important benefits of exercise is that it can improve your mental health and mood. When we exercise, our bodies release endorphins, which are chemicals that send signals to our brain and make us feel happy. Regular exercise can help manage stress and reduce the risk of depression or anxiety.

Another vital benefit of exercise is that it can help keep your brain healthy. Regular exercise keeps thinking, learning, and judgment skills sharp as we get older. Exercise gets the blood flow going, even to our brains, and stimulates the release of proteins and other chemicals that can improve the structure + function of our brains.

Exercising at every age is important. As we age, exercise can help slow the loss of bone density that comes with age. This is especially important for women. Muscle-strengthening exercises can help increase or maintain muscle mass and strength in both teens and adults.

Since it’s summer, change up your routine and try exercising outdoors or on the water. With time, exercise can become a habit and part of your daily routine, just like drinking water and brushing your teeth. Aim for 30-60 minutes a day of exercise, most days of the week. This can be broken up throughout the day. It’s also important to switch up the types of exercise your doing – shoot for a mix of cardio and strength training for the best benefits.
