A sedentary lifestyle takes its toll on our health and in today’s automated world sometimes we don’t realize just how much we do sit around. Emails, texts and face book consume much more of our time than we like to admit, especially for our young people. We need to realize the importance of exercise in achieving and maintaining our health.

The biggest benefit of exercise and weight training is energy, energy, energy. Most people start an exercise and nutrition program to loose weight; they soon realized the other benefits that come with it. It is a wonderful feeling when you realize that you have improved your quality of life. Benefits from exercise do not come overnight; in fact, most people do not see or feel them coming until they do something that used to be difficult and now can be done with ease. These are things people take for granted until they can’t do them any longer. Improving your muscle strength and keeping it in good condition is much easier than trying to rehab a muscle after an injury. Not using your muscles to their full capacity will allow them to atrophy and will take more work to build strength in them again. No matter what state your muscles are in, it is never too late to improve.

HDL (good cholesterol) is another positive benefit of exercise. Health professionals will tell you the way to improve your HDL is to exercise. High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, LDL (bad Cholesterol), Arthritis and Diabetes have also improved for some of my people with exercise. Many other health conditions can be improved with the proper exercise in the proper amounts, even Fibromyalgia. Many doctors tell people to get more exercise, but sometimes don’t tell them how, that’s where a trainer can guide you in a higher level of fitness to better health.

Walking is one of the best exercises we can do and a very safe one to start with. Find a friend, family member or group to walk with and you will soon see how much better you feel. Moderation, especially to start with, should be your way of thinking and then work your way up to a longer workout time and maybe a little harder if you can.

Many people who have had a stroke or heart attack are told by their doctor or rehab facility to continue to exercise. Sometimes, they don’t feel comfortable exercising on their own. I have some clients who have been through complete cardio rehab and realized the benefit of it. They want to continue to exercise because they know how much better their checkups are and how much better their quality of life is. A regular exercise program, guided by a trainer or on your own, is a health benefit that is priceless.
