Exercise. It’s quite a concept. Our ancestors would have howled with laughter at us saying things like “You run for fun, not to get to town?” “You go out in a kayak not to hunt, or travel but just to paddle?”
Things are SO much different now though. Many of us lead quite sedentary lifestyles, and as a result regular exercise is essential for natural health and wellness.
Our bodies need to move, and sweat. Our heart, like every other muscle needs to be challenged to stay healthy, and, while it used to be that general life often led to more than enough physical activity for natural health, today, we sit at our computers, sit in traffic, sit on the couch….we’ve got to consciously fit regular exercise into our daily lifestyles.
If we don’t we’re missing out on a wide variety of benefits regular exercise naturally provides for our bodies including:
Clearer Skin
Increased Energy
Improved Mood and Self Esteem
Stronger Bones
Increased Ability to Relax and Sleep More Soundly
Stronger Immune System
Weight Loss
Increased Muscle Mass and Definition
Lower Heart Rate
And that’s not even all of ’em! Basically, regular exercise improves the functioning of your entire body, and, as a result, when you exercise regularly you’ll feel better all over!
Yes, it may take a week of plowing through the muscle aches when you first get going – but then, once you’ve been exercising regularly for at least 6 weeks, you’ll feel it when you DON’T workout because regular exercise really is that important for our overall natural health and wellness.
So figure out your favorite way to exercise and find a way to incorporate it into your daily routine. The benefits are boundless and you’ll feel an improvement in the way your body feels almost instantly!
