| There are many reasons why you should endeavour to maintain a reasonable standard of fitness through exercise and here are just a few of them: |
| |
- Stress Buster - Exercise is a great stress reliever due to the reduction in levels of the stress hormone 'Cortisol' and the release of 'Endorphins', otherwise known as 'happy hormones'. Endorphins released during exercise can result in a feeling of euphoria, therefore enhancing our mood and making us feel more able to cope with the many demands of everyday living
- Stimulation of the Immune System - Endorphins stimulate our Immune System through the activation of natural killer cells which helps us fight off bacteria and infections
- Obesity - Now one of the nations biggest health problems (obesity rates have quadrupled over the last 25 years), obesity arises through a combination of key factors: decreased metabolism as we get older and a more sedentary lifestyle, both of which can lead to an increase in weight gain. As a result, high levels of stored body fat increased susceptibility to Diabetes and Coronary Heart Disease
-
Mobility - As we get older our bodies start to lose their natural flexibility, leading to a decrease in the Range Of
Motion (ROM) we have at our joints. As a result, our bodies become more rigid and less mobile
- Postponement of the Aging Process - Exercise reduces the risk of many of the dieases associated with getting old: Osteoporosis, Arthritis, Coronary Heart Desease, Respiratory diseases and High Blood Pressure. Cardiovascular exercise will keep your heart strong and your lungs functioning efficiently; Resistance or Strength training will improve muscle mass and bone density
