Exercise - It Does a Body Good! Part 1

Exercise.

When you hear that word, do you cringe? It is either something you love or you hate.

Some of us will go to practically any length to avoid it, and some of us (including this author!) actually look forward to their workouts.

Regardless of where we stand on the subject, it is a fact of life that our bodies were made to exercise, and if we do not, we suffer the consequences in the form of premature aging, aches and pains, and actual disease.

Let’s talk about some of the benefits of exercise.

When we exercise, impurities leave our bodies through our skin. It is one of the body’s methods of detoxifying, a term you hear quite often these days.

We look and feel younger (and who doesn’t want that?), our skin is healthier, it becomes easier to do physical tasks, our heart and lungs are strengthened, we get improved circulation, improved quality of sleep, weight loss (along with diet) - we are healthier in every way!

There are three main categories or types of exercise.

. Aerobic or Cardiovascular

. Flexibility

. Anaerobic

All three are absolutely necessary to our health. Next time we'll look at each one a little more closely.
