You’ve been told a hundred times that exercise is good for you, and yes it’s true, but it’s good for a lot more than just losing weight or building muscle.

I collected some  benefits you’ll see from just a little daily exercise!

  1. You’ll Improve Your Memory
    Ever feel like you think a bit more clearly after a good workout? Not only is your brain getting more energy and oxygen, but many studies have shown that exercise can boost your memory and help you learn better.
  2. You’ll Have Better Posture
    Good posture is important, and one of the best ways to fix your posture is to exercise the muscles holding you back. Regularly exercising your abs, back, and other muscles can go a long way into fixing your posture, both sitting and standing.
  3. De-Stress
    We all have stress in our lives, whether it’s the occasional rough day or a more serious, chronic problem. studies have shown that exercise is a great way to combat it. Not only are those endorphins natural stress-fighters, but getting yourself into that exercise  helps get your mind off the things stressing you out.
  4. You’ll Sleep Better
    If you ever have trouble falling asleep at night, the National Sleep Foundation says at regular exercise can help you sleep better. The best time to work out is in the morning or the afternoon. Don’t workout close to bedtime because this can have the opposite effect!
  5. You’ll Have More Energy
    Regular exercise canmake you feel more energized throughout the day. In fact, one study found that exercising in the middle of the day can leave you feeling more energetic and productive for the rest of the afternoon.
  6. You’ll Get Sick Less Often
    Nobody likes getting sick, and exercise can help. A recent study found that people who exercised regularly were half as likely to get a cold than people who didn’t.
  7. You’ll Just Be Happier
    The University of Bristol found that people’s mood significantly improved on days they exercised, so find a way to fit a quick workout into your daily routine and ….. you will be a happier person!!
