Reasons to Keep Fit

• We get asked quite often by people why should I
  exercise? So in this short article FitFanatics
  are going to take a look at some of the main
  reasons why living a healthy lifestyle and
  regular exercise does wonders for you and your
  body.
• 1. Keeping fit and doing regular exercise helps
  your heart and can not only prolong your life,
  but help you to stay independent as you grow
  older. It also helps prevent and control
  diabetes.
• 2. Exercise will increase your metabolism this
  is a good thing because this determines how your
  body handles nutrients and can make it much
  easier to manage your weight. Having a higher
  metabolism will allow for any slip ups in your
  diet put simply, if you lead an active
  lifestyle you can afford to indulge in the foods
  you love that little more.
• 3. It will improve your mood. Research shows that
  the endorphins released after exercise give you a
  natural high and feeling of well-being. The same
  chemicals can also help you to manage depression
  and bi-polar. Having a positive mental attitude
  can improve your life a dramatic amount.

• 4. It increases bone density and limits
  osteoporosis. Over 34 million people in the US
  alone have low bone density, this can lead to
  breakages and/or fractures due to brittle bones.
  The best type of workouts to fight this are going
  to be weighted exercises such as weight training
  or resistance training.
• Its best to start slow if you havent been
  leading the healthiest lifestyle, make small and
  subtle changes that will be easy to stick to then
  gradually increase the amount of activity and
  exercise you do. Your own future is in your
  hands, no one elses!
