Hey everyone and welcome to the official JUNGLE FITNESS Orange County Personal Trainer Blog!  Today is Freelance Friday, it is a special day indeed.  We’re going to explain several reasons why exercising should be part of your daily lifestyle.  Not just for you, but for your friends and family!





Come on, you already know you need to exercise regularly, right? Just in case you need a half dozen more reasons to get moving, here you go: 1.  Physical activity burns calories, so the more you just get up and move, the more calories you will burn. You even burn calories doing things like running the vacuum cleaner or going up and down steps. 2.  Exercise may help you succeed at breaking your weight loss plateau. Many people hit a stopping point where their diet and amount of exercise simply seems to stop working. Increasing your physical activity may give your weight loss another “push” and you’ll begin losing again. Strength training is especially effective in doing so because building muscle will help you burn even more calories. 3.  Exercise increases your metabolic rate and the rate stays elevated for some time, even once you’ve stopped the activity. Perhaps this is why active people can “Eat anything and not gain weight.” and why other folks “Gain weight just by looking at food.”!



4.  Exercise — particularly in the morning — may help you sleep better. Just be sure not to exercise too close to your bedtime if you exercise at night, because it may keep you awake. If you need to exercise within a few hours of going to bed, make sure it’s only a brisk walk. Experts say you should allow yourself about three hours between exercise and going to bed. Save the high-impact aerobics for the a.m., mid-day or early afternoon. 5.  Exercise is good for body and soul. Exercising improves mood and due to the chemicals it releases in the brain called endorphins, it gives you an overall feeling of well-being. This is the same chemical that being in love or eating chocolate induces! 6.  Exercise reduces the risk for several diseases including heart disease, adult-onset diabetes, high blood pressure or hypertension, breast cancer, osteoporosis colon cancer. Exercise may also help prevent, or be effective in treating, some mental illnesses, such as depression.

What’s better than having more energy, a healthier appetite, and good health?  Plus, not just for you, but your friends and family as well.   Exercising is always more fun with more people.  Exercise isn’t limited to weights only, you can always play sports. ;)  Sports can help in all sorts of ways, ie: eye coordination, stamina, cardio exercise, forearm muscle and etc.  Although the muscle training is limited, playing sports is an excellent way to stay to get started.

I hope this gets you off your butt to exercise.  Playing games, board games, even watching TV with friends and family is a good way to build a relationship with them.  However don’t forget to take them to the gym with you as well!  It’s a team effort, through exercise there are many obstacles and with people always cheering you on, overcoming them isn’t much of a obstacle at all.  So hurry!  Get a Personal Trainer and Start Today!
