gym life.. exercise and healthy.. merits and demerits of gym
TRANSCRIPT
We put off going to the gym like we put off going to the dentist. Then, before you know it, your teeth look awful and your stomach feels flabby. What we do not realize is that going to the gym is actually fantastic. It helps you in a lot more ways than just improving your body. Here is what we mean.
When you exercise your body will
release natural chemicals into your
bloodstream? It is true. Just like
when you eat chocolate or take a
drug, exercising has a chemical
effect.
The difference? Exercising is a
lasting effect. Yes, the high is only
short lasting but you will feel the
effects for days. At first, your
muscles will feel sore. But then you
will feel stronger or experience
fatigue less often. Your entire
lifestyle will change.
1. It Releases Positive Natural Chemicals in Your Body
Our days can be stressful and anxiety can build. We know this to be true. If it gets too much it can lead to serious problems like depression or a general anxiety disorder.
But if you exercise regularly you will be able to work away this built up stress and put it to good use. Put that stress into every step you take when you run or pushing down on your pedal.
Exercise is scientifically proven to reduce the chances of serious health problems.
2. You Are at Less Risk of Mental Illness
Going to the gym is a fantastic way to meet new people. You will be around others working to similar goals.
Also, people decide when they go to the gym based on the schedule of their work and personal life.
If you are on a similar gym schedule you are likely to have other shared interests too. You may even meet a new romantic connection.
3. You Will Make New Friends
Remember, you will not be the only one trying to get into
shape.
Yes, there will be those with the perfect body working on
slight improvements. But there will be others who are
trying to lose a lot of weight. If they are not embarrassed
why should you be?
If you are nervous about going to the gym, our advice is
this. Find some used free weights for sale online and
practice at home first. Once you have started to see
improvements in your body then you can sign up for a
gym membership.
You will be rewarded. In a few weeks you will not
recognize the person staring back at you. But that is not
all.
4. There is No Need to be Embarrassed
Going to the gym will improve your body
image but it will effect everything you do. You
will feel better about yourself and be more
inclined to take challenges.
You will find yourself making strides in your
work and social life. If you start exercising
today, tomorrow you will find you can talk to
people easier.
You are less nervous about giving
presentations at work. Every aspect of your
life will be changed for the better.
5. You Will Gain More Confidence
