I know that exercise is about keeping fit but what other benefits does it bring?

There are so many more benefits to be gained from exercise than just staying fit! 

- It produces feel-good hormones that benefit mood, as well as mental health conditions such as depression

- Reduces the risk of developing conditions such as osteoporosis

- People who don’t exercise regularly are more likely to die prematurely than those who do

- It lessens the risk of cardiovascular disease, strokes and heart attacks

- Cases of type 2 diabetes are lower in those who exercise on a regular basis

- Gives energy

- It can even decrease the risk of some cancers such as breast and colon.

From this I hope you will be encouraged to increase your exercise plans!
