Powerful Reasons To Exercise

We all know exercise is good for us. We've all heard our fair share of the benefits of exercise but do we bother exercising on a more frequent basis? Here's some of the 21 powerful reasons to exercise to motivate you further.

1. Longevity: reduced risk of premature death. People who are physically active, live longer. Regular exercise reduces the risk of dying prematurely and increases your chances of living longer.

It is never late to begin exercising. Regular physical activity provides benefits to men and women of all ages.

2. New brain cells development (neurogenesis). Exercise stimulates the formation of new brain cells (neurons). Also, exercise strengthens connections between those cells. The areas of the brain that are stimulated through long-term exercise are associated with memory and learning. The production of new neurons is associated with improvement in learning and memory.

15. Better night sleep: time-proved "Insomnia Rx". If you suffer from poor sleep daily exercise can make the difference. The natural dip in body temperature five to six hours after exercise may help to fall asleep. Researches from the Stanford University School of Medicine found that regular exercise provide improvement in general quality of sleep, quicker sleep-onset, longer sleep duration and feeling rested in the morning.

What are you waiting for? Start moving that ass already! :P
