Exercise Benefits

 -There are so many exercise benefits; it's truly amazing that more people aren't exercising, and realizing  them.

 Yet, surveys continually confirm that many people do not even participate in  any form of fitness exercise program at all!  (Over 39% don't)

 Experts estimate that the lack of a regular fitness exercise program contributes to some 300,000 deaths each year in the United States alone: ​​from diabetes, heart disease, stroke and other diseases.

-Sounds like a pretty good reason to start one, don't you think?

By starting a fitness exercise program for weight loss and fitness, the quality of your life will improve in so many ways.

-And you don't have to run marathons or start spending 4 hours every day at the gym either. (see our benefit list)

Studies clearly show the benefits of fitness, even at moderate intensity levels. Where it was once believed that only a more strenuous level of exercise benefits the body, it is now known not to be the case.

-Consistency is the secret, small amounts of exercise benefits you in many ways, as long as you keep it up on a regular basis.

Add healthy eating to your commitment to exercise, then you're really in business. And you don't have to eat alfalfa sprouts and kidney beans 24/7 either. Just eat sensibly and watch the portion size.

-Once you get in shape, it's not as hard as you might think to stay that way. You just have to be aware at all times, and not let yourself get away with all the little rationalizations that allow you to eat whatever you want, in any quantity you want. (Again, portion control)
