Exercise has long been touted as a way to improve your quality of life and for good reason. As a study in the American Journal of Epidemiology has found, regular exercise not only improves your quality of life but can also reduce your risk of developing lifestyle diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, along with improving your mental well-being and strengthening your muscles and bones. With all the benefits regular exercise has to offer, it’s definitely a habit worth developing.

 

Exercise extends your lifeExercise Improves Quality of Life

Although health and fitness professionals have long understood the ways in which regular exercise can extend your life, passing this information on so people can experience all the benefits of exercise can be difficult. Not everyone is aware of the many benefits that come from regular exercise or what regular exercise means. In terms of improving your health and extending your life, 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise five times a week is ideal. These guidelines have been created by the American College of Sports Medicine and are used as a reference by almost every health and fitness professional and organisation.

In an era where most people are looking for a quick fix to all their ills, exercise can seem like too much hard work for some. But with the right approach, a little exercise every day can have a huge impact on your health and well-being. Best of all, exercise puts you in a good mood thanks to the release of endorphins (wonderful, natural, feel good hormones).

Reduced risk of lifestyle diseases
As mentioned, regular exercise is very beneficial for reducing your risk of lifestyle diseases, improving your mental and physical well-being, strengthening your body, and extending your lifespan. In fact, regular exercise is able to:

  • Reduce your risk of Cardiovascular Disease
  • Reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes, manage pre-diabetes, Syndrome X, and control blood glucose levels
  • Reduce hypertension
  • Reduce bad cholesterol
  • Reduce your risk of stroke
  • Reduce your risk of cancer, particularly colon, breast and lung cancer
  • Reduce your risk of osteoporosis by strengthening your bones and muscles
  • Improve and strengthen your bones and muscles to reduce the risk of injuries or falls
  • Reduce and/or control your weight and body fat levels and prevent obesity
  • Reduce the pain associated with arthritis and improve your joint movement
  • Relieve stress and its associated health affects
  • Improve mood thanks to the release of endorphins, the body’s own feel good chemical
  • Reduce the symptoms of depression by elevating your mood and reducing stress
  • Reduce anxiety levels
  • Improve self-esteem and body image, giving you more confidence within yourself

Exercise and weight control
Although there are many reasons why people begin to exercise, weight loss and weight control are among the most common reasons why people start an exercise program. Regular exercise burns calories and when combined with a reduction in food calories, creates a calorie deficit which results in weight loss. By the same token, if you have lost weight or simply want to maintain the weight you are, regular exercise helps to balance out your daily food calories to control and maintain your weight.

Benefits of resistance training
Resistance training has many benefits to people of all ages – young or old. Resistance training helps to boost your metabolism which can add weight loss and weight control, strengthens your muscles and bones, can help prevent osteoporosis, can assist with arthritis management, and can help prevent injuries and falls.

As we get older our muscles begin to ‘shrink’ and the old adage of ‘move it or lose it’ is absolutely true. By regularly engaging in resistance training you will build muscle, stay strong and improve your ability to move (especially through your joints) and enjoy all the other benefits exercise has to offer.

Benefits of high intensity exercise
It may seem like the new buzz word in health and fitness but high intensity exercise has many benefits to offer. High intensity exercise helps to burn fat and calories (thereby helping to lose or control your weight), boosts your metabolism, can help build muscle, and improves your fitness level (keeping your heart and lungs healthy). Just 10-30 second bursts of high intensity exercise mixed in with your regular aerobic/cardio exercise can have a big impact and will go a long way to improving your health and extending your lifespan.

Regular exercise is a habit all of us should aim to develop. Thirty minutes a day isn’t much when it comes to improving your health and increasing your longevity. Best of all, you can break this into three lots of 10 minutes or even two lots of 15 minutes to make it fit with your lifestyle. If you don’t already, try adding 15 minutes of exercise to your day and start your journey to a long, healthy life.
