I have had a personal journey about the importance of achieving and maintaining respectable fitness levels, and the necessity for others to engage in a similar physical activities and eating healthy in order to sustain clean, happy and healthy lifestyles. Health related fitness enables us to carry out everyday activities, helps maintain health, curbs stress levels and reduces certain types of cancers and diseases. While a large majority might be motivated by weight loss at the start—it doesn’t take long to see the positive effects that regular exercise has on other aspects in our lives.
1.Promotes Discipline- Finding time in a busy day jam-packed with work, school, softball practice, study groups, and other personal commitments for a yoga class or a run requires discipline seems impossible. Establishing this type of consistency in your life takes dedication, the type of dedication that makes you a better person.
2.Boosts Self-Esteem- Personally, I found that establishing and reaching exercise goals, just seeing the improvements to my strength, endurance, and energy levels has really boosted by self-confidence. The certainty I’ve established through exercise has shown me that I have the inherent power to set personal goals and strive to reach and succeed at them.
3.Creates Clarity- Exercise, for me, has brought a certain amount of clarity and focus to my life in the face of decision-making so I no longer feel overwhelmed. Exercise has helped me to make more definite and confident life decisions without anxiety.
4.Healthy Self-Awareness- Working out, for me, forced me to look within, confront and reward myself for my strengths, and pinpoint and work towards improving my limitations. This is a healthy self-awareness that helps me focus on my strengths and put my very best foot forward in other aspects of my life.
5. Improves Energy- Studies solidify that regular exercise releases endorphins, the body’s “feel-good” hormones, which boost mood, lower stress, and improve overall energy levels so you have more vivacity to do the things you love in life.
6. Balances Hormones-You might not associate stress with hormone levels, but anxiety-induced hormonal fluctuations have negative effects on our mood, self-esteem, and energy levels. Exercising can help suppress hormones in a more positive balance.
7. Increases Concentration-It’s difficult enough to set specific goals for ourselves. Learning to focus on those goals in the midst of all types of distractions (i.e., social media and peer pressure) can make reaching them seem utterly impossible. However, staring with exercise, even daily walks or yoga, will help improve your focus.
8.Builds Stamina-Life is filled with hardships, unexpected obstacles, and unfair rejections. Yet in the face of financial, personal, or professional difficulties those who have the most emotional and physical stamina will refuse to throw in the towel. Whether you choose exercise this will build the type of endurance required to overcome almost any emotional or physical challenge that life throws your way.
9.Fights Disease-Research has shown that exercise can slow or help prevent heart diseases. Exercise strengthens the muscles and joints, it is going to reduce your odds of having some of those aches and pains and problems most adults have.
10.Pumps Up Your Heart-Not only does exercise help fight disease, but it creates a stronger heart. You will feel less fatigue. It will not take as much effort when it comes to breathing. You shouldn't have as much pain or soreness.
Physical fitness, along with healthy eating habits has transformed my life. I will use this opportunity to make appearances and share my own personal journey promoting why everyone should live life to the fittest! I will be more of a figure for Muscatine’s YMCA/YWCA for encouragement, motivation and advice. Most importantly, will become the spokesperson for The Blue Zones Project of Muscatine along with other health/nutrition stores. Remember, the best project you will ever work on is you! For anyone needing/wanting health tips for their eating habits or exercise program feel free to message me, I would LOVE to help! :)
