There are always articles on the reasons why people don’t exercise which I is not at all helpful for anyone who really does want to get in to the exercise habit.

Please, let your desire to move more be reinforced by my top 10 reasons for becoming a regular exerciser:-

1. You’ll have more energy. Physically & mentally. If you are seriously out of condition it can take up to 8 weeks for this to be realised but it will happen, I guarantee it.

2. You’ll have more emotional tolerance. Being a regular exerciser helps the brain to balance out stress hormones so you’ll be able to manage stress better.

3. You’ll like yourself more. Self esteem increases the moment you start exercising because you are honouring yourself.  Self care = self love, it’s as simple as that.

4. You’ll feel more desirable. When your self esteem increases your sex appeal and libido increases. Self confidence nurtures sexuality which is something to be celebrated don’t you think!

5. You’ll want to eat well. Exercising regularly makes you mindful of your health in general so you will become more selective about what you put in to your body. Food is fuel my friend.

6. You’ll sleep better.  If you are a light, restless or reluctant sleeper then this may well be the best motivation for becoming a regular exerciser, it really does help you sleep well.

7. You’ll be robust. When you are a regular exerciser you always feel healthy and strong. You are less likely to get sick and if you do get sick it takes less time to recover and feel well again.  

8. You’ll lose your baggage. I am referring to excess body fat but I also know that as this decreases so does the emotional baggage attached to it. It is a very gradual but extremely valuable process.

9. You’ll want to do more. Your zest for life will bloom with everyday you exercise. You’ll feel the desire to explore new interests which will open up many exciting doors – carpe diem! 

10. You’ll be happier. Exercising releases ‘feel good hormones’ which help you to think good things. This is what fosters the constant feeling of ‘happiness’  which is what we all desire the most.

My wish is for you to have a healthy attitude to daily exercise because this is the key to living a smiley life.
