Sticking to Your Resolution to Exercise More = Looking Better, Feeling Better, and Living Better

Since one of the most common New Year’s resolutions people make is to exercise more, and many people tend to have difficulty following through with their resolutions after the first of the year, hopefully this post will provide a little inspiration to help you stick to your resolution to exercise more. Everyone knows that exercising helps you lose weight and look better, but did you know that exercise is also one of the most effective preventative ‘drugs’ available? If looking and feeling better isn’t enough incentive to stick to your resolution to exercise more, consider some of the other proven benefits from exercising, like: • Reducing early death risks • Helping control weight • Decreasing heart disease and stroke risks • Lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes, depression, and some types of cancer • Slowing cognitive decline • Helping prevent hip fractures • Improving sleep, memory, concentration and mood When exercising just to lose weight and look better, many people tend to give up before they see results. Be consistent and stick to the plan and the results will follow. Exercising doesn’t mean you have to lift heavy weights or run a marathon… aim for 30 minutes a day of moderate-intensity physical activity, such as a brisk walk. Start the New Year out with a new you. Look better, feel better, and live better. Happy New Year’s from all of us here at Mountainside Medical Equipment.   Resource: http://www.dailycomet.com/article/20131230/WIRE/131239978?p=2&tc=pg
