Top 20 Reasons to Exercise
Now and then we all engage in some form of Convenient rationalization, especially when faced with the seemingly insurmountable task of transforming a fat and out of shape body into a buff, healthy version of its former self. But the reality is that many people (who are probably a lot more out of shape than you) have successfully dieted and exercised their way to a new look, and a new way of life.
That?s not to say working out is easy or takes no effort, but the hardest thing to do is to get started. Once you pass that barrier, the results you see will motivate you even further. For this reason you can see why it is so important to get on an effective diet and fitness plan right out of the box.
(Custom Workouts can produce dramatic results.)
This article is purely about motivation. And what better way to make you realize how important exercise is in your life than to list the top 20 reasons people exercise? With all we now know about the benefits of exercise, it’s hard to believe more Americans don’t workout. It’s the closest thing yet to the fountain of youth, and the ONLY real way to change the appearance, shape, and strength of your body.
Everyone exercises for different reasons. But regardless of your initial motivation, you still get ALL the benefits. Below is a list of 20 reasons why you should workout. If you can find even one benefit on this list, you’ll have enough reason to begin an exercise program and take steps to take care of yourself.

10 Reasons to Exercise in Pregnancy
   1. Helps decrease fatigue, even in the first trimester. This is also true of insomnia.
   2. Can help women have a shorter labor. This is particularly true if you use movement in labor by changing positions.
   3. Has been shown to help women lose pregnancy weight faster.
   4. Helps with endurance during pregnancy and labor. We know labor is a marathon – so train for it!
   5. Decreases aches and pains associated with pregnancy.
   6. Can help reduce likelihood of tearing or severe trauma from episiotomy.
   7. Can reduce the number of cesareans that are necessary.
   8. It’s fun and feels great!
   9. Leads to a faster postpartum recovery. Add breastfeeding to kick start the weight loss of postpartum.
  10. It’s a habit that once started will lead to a lifetime of good fitness.

Walking, running, swimming and cycling are the antidote to everything from stress and low self esteem to Y2K. Anyway, they are powerful and life-changing. Here’s how:

Quality of Life.
There’s no guarantee you’ll live longer by adopting a fitness lifestyle, but chances are you will live better. It’s the ultimate revenge: a full, healthy, happy life.

Fun.
Even if you hated sports as a kid-picked last for the softball team, creamed in dodgeball-remember that walking, running, swimming, and cycling are different. No one screams at or slams into you, you compete as much or as little as you want, you’re outdoors, and you set the pace. It’s play, not work.

Confidence Booster.
By setting an exercise goal-however modest-and progressing toward it, you become more self-assured. As you begin to feel and look fitter and healthier, you gain confidence.

Forget Dieting.
Working out burns lots of calories-and raises your metabolism so you consume them at a higher rate than a sedentary person even when you’re not exercising. Bottom line: You can control your weight without starving yourself by eating a healthy, balanced diet (including the occasional chocolate sundae).

Stress Relief.
Feeling tense? Overwhelmed? Unappreciated? Taking regular exercise breaks, as short as 30 minutes a day, can refresh and relax you. Use the time to calm yourself, regain perspective on what’s important, or even figure out a solution to a problem.

Fat-Be-Gone.
By working out, you’re losing fat and gaining muscle. Regular exercisers often have body fat levels at least 5% lower than the average person. You’ll probably go down a clothing size or two, because muscle, though heavier than fat, takes up less space.

Instant Friends.
Everybody tends to loosen up when they’re sweaty and out of breath. Participatory sports provide an accessible, non-threatening, casual atmosphere for meeting people. Opportunities abound: fun runs, a swim workout or lesson, a group bike ride, an organized hike.

A Spring in Your Step.
Working out can raise your VO2 max (the amount of oxygen your muscles can use) by up to 40%. That means you have more energy and everyday tasks become easier.

Cold-Killer.
Aerobic exercise bolsters your immune system. You’re better prepared to fight off viruses and other nasty stuff.

A Tougher Ticker.
Endurance sports such as running, walking, swimming and cycling strengthen your cardiovascular system. Your heart becomes more efficient and less susceptible to disease.
