Anything that gets your heart rate up for an extended period of time is
considered exercise.
Exercise And Its Far Reaching Benefits
Exercise, why even do it? Whether you like it or not it’s the only way
we can burn the excess stores of energy we have accumulated over
the years, otherwise known as fat. Our body has stored it but
thankfully it can get rid of it too and in order to do that, you’ve got to
move. It’s the only way your lean muscle tissue can grab the
surrounding fat to burn as energy.
Long after your exercise session whether it be walking, running,
swimming, biking, etc, your metabolism continues to burn calories
even when you are at rest. The effects of exercise can be experienced
long after the actual exercise itself. This is evident in that you sweat a
little easier which means your body is behaving like a fat burning
furnace, any exercise you do after that point just turbo charges the
exercise you’ve already done and burns extra calories.
Exercise has so many benefits:-
Exercise prolongs your life and keeps your heart healthy. Don’t forget
that the heart itself is a muscle and needs exercise too. That’s why
you should resist taking the easy way by going to those spas that
claim you can lose weight by doing nothing or than sweating. Sure
you lose inches but they find their way like a magnet back onto your
body with the next glass of water you drink. Resist gimmicks, if it
sounds too good to be true it probably is. Exercise, get your heart
rate going, it’s the best thing you can do for yourself and your heart
will thank you for it.
Exercise also releases your body's natural feel good chemicals known
as endorphins (a combination of the words endogenous and
morphine) which naturally relieve stress. Endorphins are thought to
be as powerful as morphine yet they are not addictive and are
produced naturally within the body. They are also the body’s natural
pain relief.
