The Top Ten Reasons To Exercise...

I want to give you the top ten reasons to exercise, so you realize just how important exercise is to your life. After reading these top 10 reasons, you should be ready to start an exercise program today.

Reason #1: Improves your Appearance

Who doesn't want to look better? I don't think anyone in the world would mind looking better physically. This is my number one reason in the list of top ten reasons to exercise.

Your posture will improve. You'll increase your muscle mass and decrease your fat mass. Lower body fat will make you more appealing to the opposite sex.

If you are married or have a girlfriend or boyfriend, they will be more attracted to you than they already are and we all know what that means.

An improved appearance really upgrades your life in more ways than one. You'll have more confidence and you'll do better in all aspects of life. Now, let's get to the rest of the top ten reasons to exercise...

Reason #2: Gives you Goals and Purpose

This reason is one of my favorite top ten reasons to exercise. It feels great to achieve goals that you've set for yourself throughout the year.

I always look forward to my next workout, so I can try to set new personal weightlifting records. I feel good about myself in knowing that I've achieved a goal. I know that I have the personal drive to succeed in anything in life.

When you achieve exercise goals you've set for yourself, you know that you can apply the same principles you did to your exercise program to achieve other goals in life. Hard work and intelligent planning can help you get anything you want.

Reason #3: Helps you feel better

I love waking up in the morning and feeling refreshed and ready to go. Exercise helps you look forward to the day ahead of you. Exercise can become a wonderful hobby that you look forward to each and every day.

You'll start to look forward to exercise because exercise gives you more energy and simply helps you to feel better throughout the day. It simply feels great to have more energy. Feeling better is priceless and is certainly one of the top ten reasons to exercise.

Reason #4: Gives you the ability to make more Money

You might not believe this one if you've never exercised before, but those of you who exercise will have a better idea of what I'm talking about here...

Exercise helps you concentrate throughout the day and helps you to stay more focused on the task at hand.

Studies have proven that exercise helps you become more productive in life. The higher confidence you have in yourself, the increased energy, the increased focus, and the increased concentration can lead to promotions or even new ideas for making money.

This reason alone should make you want to start a new exercise program today. Who doesn't need more money?

Reason #5: Reduces risk of disease and illness

Exercise reduces the risk of many diseases and ilnesses. Regular exercise reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Exercise can help reduce high blood pressure, prevent Type II diabetes, and prevent osteoporosis. In other words, exercise can save your life.

A good exercise program combined with a good diet can even prevent you from getting sick. Increased vitamin intake from a better diet will keep you healthy throughout the year.

This reason may be number one of the top ten reasons to exercise. One of your goals in life should be to prevent disease and illness.

Reason #6: Prevents Obesity

No one wants to be obese due to health problems and appearance. Whatever you do, though, do not use the BMI or Body Mass Index as indicator of being obese. The BMI is out of date big time!

Read about the body mass index here.

Use body fat percentage as an indicator of your health. Obesity is not a function of height and weight as the BMI predicts. Obesity is a function of body fat and body fat percentage is the best indicator.

Exercise will prevent obesity and turn an obese person into a very healthy person with an ideal body fat percentage.

Reason #7: Improves Self Confidence and Self Esteem

Reason 7 of the top ten reasons to exercise is to imrove your confidence and self esteem. With a better looking body, you'll feel great about your physical appearance.

As artificial as this may sound, everyone wants to have a good looking body. Let's face it, you'll feel much better about yourself when you look good.

You'll also feel better and have more energy, so your self confidence and self esteem will be higher than ever. You can feel good that you're doing everything you can to live a long and healthy life for your loved ones.

Reason #8: Anti Depressant

Weight lifting is one of the best forms of exercise but should be combined with a good diet and cardiovascular exercise.

Stretching and other recovery techniques such as deep tissue massage can also be included in a complete exercise program.

Studies have shown that weight lifting alone acts as an anti-depressant. You get the same results with weight lifting as you would by taking medication.

Why take the medication with side effects when you can simply lift weights to help depression?

Weight lifting and exercise is simply amazing. You have no reason not to exercise, so get going today. This is definitely one of the top ten reasons to exercise.

Reason #9: Increases Strength

Everyone should strive to be a stronger person. Increased strength can really make life easier, and can really benefit you if ever find yourself in a life or death situation.

Being strong makes you feel better about yourself, and makes anything physical much easier. You can be better at sports and anything that involves physical activity.

It feels great to be able to lift certain objects with no problem. Yard work becomes easier and, like I said, any physical activity. This is one of my top ten reasons to exercise because strength makes a huge difference in life.

Reason #10: Improves overall quality of life!

Last but not least in the top ten reasons to exercise is to improve your overall quality of life. It will greatly improve with exercise. Just imagine feeling great every day of the week.

Imagine getting a great night of rest due to the exercise you performed earlier in the day.

Exercise expends energy and leaves you ready for a great night of sleep.

You'll look and feel better every day, and you'll have more confidence in yourself. The work you perform everyday for your job will get better, and people will notice the new you.

The opposite sex will notice you more because you'll have a great looking body and lots of self confidence. You'll be healthy and have less sickness throughout the years.

Pains that always bothered you will go away. Lower back pain will be a thing of the past.

Your cardiovascular endurance will increase, and you'll be able to perform physical activity for hours with no problem. Your posture will improve. You'll make more money in life. You will have lower blood pressure. And so on...

Exericse will help you increase your lean muscle mass which means you will burn more calories while resting. Let me give you an example from my life. Every so often, maybe once a year, I like to take about a week break from not only weight lifting but from eating correctly.

I will stop eating 6-8 meals per day and go back to only eating a few times per day. This really gives me a break and eventually gets me motivated to continue with my exercise program.

During this period, I eat anything I want. Desserts, candy, doughnuts, pizza, and more. I don't worry about getting protein, carbs, and fat. I simply eat what I want.

Well, I have so much muscle mass that I actually lose weight and some fat during this break that I give myself. Even with all the junk food, I can still lose weight.

This is because my muscle mass burns all of the calories from those foods. How would you like to be able to do that every once in a while?
