POSITIVE EFFECTS OF EXERCISE

Exercise positively effects all human body systems; including psychologically. Research in the area of psychology and physical activity supports a relationship between physical fitness, mental alertness and emotional stability.

An example of this relationship is that improved endurance makes the body less susceptible to fatigue and less likely to commit mental or physical errors. Performance can be sustained longer without the necessity of frequent breaks. People who are physically fit usually have a better outlook, more self-confidence and often do well in whatever their talents and ambitions prompt them to try.

Increases Blood Volume

Physiological benefits of exercise are that it increases blood volume, enlarges and increases the number of blood vessels, lowers resting heart rate, and helps keep linings clear of corrosive materials. Exercise also reduces peak levels of hyperacidity and its discomforts.

The Nervous System

The nervous system is the control center of the body. The three roles of the nervous system are that it senses changes inside and outside the body. It interprets those changes and responds to the interpretations by initiating action in the form of muscular contractions or granular secretions. Without the central control of the nervous system, coordinated human movement are impossible.

Exercise is Worth the Effort

Hike Up Your Routine

You can take fitness to the next level and burn more fat using high intensity interval training. The high intensity approach may not be right for those just starting a fitness program. However, if you exercise regularly and need to bump up your regime, this is an effective way to see results. It also does not require you to spend more time in the gym.

High intensity interval training involves short intervals of high intensity exercise separated by longer intervals of low to moderate intensity exercise. It offers you several advantages because it pushes you beyond the highest end of your aerobic capacity zone. If your aerobic zone is at 80% or more of your maximum heart rate, then you are in the right training zone.  

Eating a healthy meal plan and participating in an exercise plan will improve your overall health, increase your self-esteem and allow you to live a much healthier lifestyle. Exercising and getting the proper amount of rest in a balanced schedule will allow you to build healthy muscles and reduce or eliminate stress and anxiety. 

A personal trainer can help you with your weight-loss goals. They will show you the right way to improve your overall health. A trainer will provide you with a flexible exercise schedule that will benefit you and your body. Your hard exercise work will pay off when you notice the difference in feeling better and looking good and others will notice too.
