Why should I train? Many people ask themselves this question, and because they did not find enough benefits from the sport, they either give up or do not start at all. There are so many benefits to training. Training affects both the physique and the psyche. The body is like an engine. The more we use it, the better it works. In this article, I will present 8 reasons why it is worth exercising, even 2-3 times a week.

IF WE TRAIN REGULARLY WE WILL IMPROVE OUR OVERALL HEALTH!

If you are worried that you may develop heart problems or high blood pressure or you already have such symptoms. Exercise helps the body produce more high-density lipoprotein (good cholesterol) and lowers unhealthy triglycerides. Regular sports activities support the work of the cardiovascular system and protect us from diseases.

Regular exercise helps prevent the following diseases – depression, heart attack, arthritis, type 2 diabetes, anxiety, many types of cancer, high blood pressure, and more.

WE REDUCE THE PERCENTAGE OF SUBCUTANEOUS FAT.

We can find out if we are overweight by measuring our body mass index. You can do this HERE. This index represents the approximate measure of your overall metabolic status. If the body mass index is above normal, a training regimen can correct this.

When we exercise, we burn calories. The more intense a workout, the more calories we burn. Regular walks to the gym are good but don’t worry if you don’t have time to train long enough. Going to the gym is better than not moving at all. Even if you can’t find time for fitness, any daily activities are welcome. For example, instead of using an elevator, go up or down the stairs. Walk more and don’t use a vehicle too often.

REGULAR training KEEPs OUR BONES HEALTHY AND CAN HELP US GAIN MUSCLE MASS.

One of the disadvantages of aging is that our bones become thinner and more fragile due to the fact that over time they lose some of their mineral composition. Every year our bones become thinner by 1%.

Regular strength training or weight training helps our bones to be thicker. The workload should be different for different ages, but certainly normal daily activities are not enough to start this process.

To achieve maximum bone benefits from weight training, we should train for at least 1 hour a week with progressive exercise.

Weight training also helps build muscle. It is this increase in tension that the muscles exert on the bones that help to improve the health of our bones. The best way to reverse the process of normal muscle loss with age (sarcopenia) is through training.

TRAINING MAKES US HAPPIER.

Regular exercise produces changes in the parts of the brain that are responsible for stress. They can also increase the sensitivity of the brain to serotonin and norepinephrine. These two hormones help reduce depression.

In one study, exercising regularly reduced the symptoms of people suffering from anxiety. It can also help them be more aware of their own mental state. No matter how intense the workout, your mood can change even after a very light load. Aerobic exercise, such as running, improves our mood by stimulating our body to produce more endorphins. These are natural neurotransmitters that improve mood, 20 minutes after the start of training.

The effect of exercise on mood is so strong that it can give results in a short time. Regular exercise can improve your overall mental condition in the long run.

REGULAR TRAINING IMPROVES MEMORY.

The most important thing to remember is that exercise increases heart rate, which leads to more blood and oxygen being pumped to the brain. It can also stimulate our body to produce more hormones that help brain cells grow.

There is already a lot of information from research on humans and animals, which proves that regular exercise helps to improve the functioning of neurons, especially in the part of the brain that is responsible for memory. We don’t even have to work hard. Normal walking is enough to stimulate the better functioning of the hippocampus and the part of the brain that is responsible for memory.

Memory also improves with the reduction of cortisol, which is associated with regular exercise.

REGULAR training INCREASEs OUR ENERGY AND TONUS.

When we train more oxygen is delivered to our cells. It also increases our strength and we become more mobile. As a result of these two processes, we feel more toned, refreshed, and energetic. Everyday responsibilities do not strain us and tire us so easily.

Even if we sometimes feel tired and do not train at all, after we increase our physical capacity, this training will no longer be so tiring, because we will feel more confident in our abilities.

One study found that after 6 weeks of regular exercise in 36 healthy individuals, there was a reduction in fatigue, with people complaining of constant fatigue.

IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF SLEEP.

When we train we expend energy. This energy must be restored after training. This stimulates regenerative processes during sleep. Therefore, the more tired we are, the better we will sleep. Also, a rise in body temperature during exercise leads to better sleep, because during sleep our body temperature drops.

One study shows that 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise a week can improve our sleep by up to 65%.

Also, training the night before bed is not good for sleep. Training during the day can improve sleep at night. Physical exertion during the day helps our body maintain circadian rhythm in tone.

Better sleep at night also improves the immune system and reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and more.

REGULAR TRAINING IMPROVES SEXUAL LIFE.

By keeping our muscles active on a regular basis, we stimulate the endocrine glands to produce more hormones. As muscle mass increases, more androgen production is stimulated, which improves the functioning of the reproductive system.

Also, regular physical activity improves the circulatory system and blood circulation, tones muscles, and helps us to be more mobile. All this contributes to improved sex life.

A study was done on women suffering from polycystic ovaries. In this syndrome, there is a decrease in sex drive. After undergoing weight training, there was an improvement in their sex drive.

In another study, women around the age of 40 saw an increase in the number of orgasms after including strength training (sprints, weight training) in their daily lives.

In a study of a group of 170 healthy men, they found that the more they exercised, the higher their sexual performance scores.

Regular exercise can have a positive effect on almost every aspect of our external and internal health. Even if you train twice a week, low intensity, you will still feel improvements in your health and behavior. Regardless of your age, sports can greatly improve your lifestyle!
If you are still not convinced of what you have read so far, you can always test all this. Try more walking or just a 30-40 minute morning walk (brisk walk) in the park, 2 times a week and you will feel all of the above.
Challenge yourself to feel better!
