You may already love working out, or are looking for reasons to love it. Working out does so much more for you than you know. It’s not just a way to burn a few extra calories so you can maintain a healthy weight. It’s one of the best activities to improve yourself inside and out, beyond the walls of your gym.
1.Improves Your Memory
Do you ever have a fantastic idea or thought then completely forget it a couple minutes later? We all do, and the good news is that exercise can help you remember those “aha” moments more. A recent study by the University of British Columbia found that aerobic exercise, the kind that gets your heart rate up so you break a sweat, improves memory. Youfit Health Club’snational director of fitness, Raphael Konforti, agreed that exercise helps. “Exercise is a smart way to keep your brain and memory functioning in tip-top shape. Remember: sweat it, so you don’t forget it!”
2.Boosts Your Confidence
“Exercise is incredibly powerful for building self-confidence. Week after week in the gym, you’re doing things you couldn’t do before, and often things you never thought you could do.” Konforti told us. Konforti explained that the gym truly builds you up emotionally as much as it does physically. “I’ve seen so many people gain confidence in themselves through exercise then translate it into their personal and work lives. The gym is the one place where if you put in effort and do it consistently, you’ll see positive changes.” Now that’s powerful stuff!
3. Reduces Stress
Work, friends, family, life or even waiting on the next season to drop on Netflix is downright stressful. We can’t help you with speeding up the release date for your next episode, but exercise can help with the stress it causes. “Exercise is a proven stress reliever. There’s a reason even the busiest people on the planet make time to exercise. No matter what’s on your mind, a quick sweat will be sure to help you reset,” Konforti said.
