You know you should exercise, and here are some reasons why:

A proper exercise program consists of 4 major components

Exercise improves your psychological well being

Various brain chemicals are stimulated during exercise that reduce anxiety and depression, leaving you feeling happier and more relaxed than before working out.

Exercise can help to prevent or manage chronic disease

High blood pressure and cholesterol will benefit by regular exercise because it boosts HDL, or "good" cholesterol, while decreasing LDL, or "bad" cholesterol. It keeps our blood flowing smoothly by lowering the buildup of plaques in the arteries. Regular exercise can also help you prevent Type-2 diabetes, osteoporosis and certain types of cancer.

Exercise helps you manage your weight

When you exercise, you burn calories. The more intensely you exercise, the more calories you burn and the easier it is to keep your weight under control. The more calories you burn, the more calories you can consume without gaining weight.

Exercise strengthens your heart and lungs

Exercise delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues. In fact, regular exercise helps your entire cardiovascular system; the circulation of blood through your heart and blood vessels work more efficiently.

Exercise improves daily activities

Exercise promotes healthy sleep, therefore enhancing work, recreation, and sports performance.

Strength training decreases fat mass and increases lean body mass
