There’s no doubt that exercise has benefits. Not only can it improve your health and appearance, but it can also enhance your mood and even make you a happier person. Just how exactly does this happen? Here are a number of proven ways exercise can boost your spirits and help you find your smile.
How exercise makes you happier
Why women should lift weights
As a fitness fanatic, you’ve probably tried most exercise programs out there - from running on treadmills, spinning or hitting the hot yoga studios. These activities all have their advantages. But to really get the most out of any form of fitness training, you need to incorporate a little weight training into your workouts.
Health benefits of basketball
As an exercise enthusiast, you have probably tried a number of different workouts, be it running on treadmills, lifting weights, jogging, or joining an aerobic classe. But have you ever tried implementing a bit of basketball into your workout routines? Basketball provides a fun and competitive alternative to more traditional methods of fitness and weight loss.
Stress and fatty foods slow women down!
Is stress making some women overweight? According to a recent study it could be. As if the fact that some foods make you put on weight isn't bad enough, now a new study suggests that stress can potentially exacerbate the effect of high-fat foods on women's bodies by slowing down metabolism and, as a result, speeding up weight-gain.
Workout for Zzzs and better exercise!
We're always being told that exercise invigorates your whole body and really releases energy, giving you a new lease of life. What it can also do is help you nod off. Not because you are bored of course, but because working out has long been touted as an antidote for insomnia, or at least worthwhile in the pursuit of a restful night's sleep.
Too much exercise – part 2!
Over-exercising may sound like something of a joke, especially to those who have to force themselves off the sofa to workout. However, not only is it a very real problem but it can have a negative impact on every area of your life, beyond the purely physical effects! Your work, social and home life, as well as the relationships you're involved with can all suffer if you have this type of imbalance.
