What are your New Year resolutions?
The New Year will soon arrive with much
expectations. Many of us will be writing our New Year resolutions with some
trepidation. Others write with great motivation. Are New Year resolutions
meant to be broken?
For some yes, but for most of us, we will
give it a shot. For those whose resolution is to keep fit and healthy and
enjoy life looking and feeling fantastic, then this article is for you and to
motivate you to keep to your resolution successfully.
Why workout in a gym?
Different people exercise and workout for
different reasons. Some want to be macho looking hunks, some want their
fitness to be at their peak, some to lose weight and body fat and most guys
want to gain muscle mass to have a well toned and attractive body.
Whether you workout in a gym for general
health and fitness purpose or to lose body fat and gain muscle to look
attractively desirable, you will reap tons of fitness and health benefits
whether you workout in a gym, at home or in a park.
In fact, unless you want to gain
really big muscles, it is not necessary to join a gym to reap the benefit
of having a great workout. This will save you hefty gym fees too.
Benefits
of working out to lose weight and gain muscles
For all those of you who workout regularly,
you will be glad to know whatever reasons that compel you to workout, there
are many more reasons for you to continue doing so. For those of you who don't
exercise at all, hey folks, these benefits are what you have been missing out.
Better blood circulation will add a glow
to your skin and hair. Not only will you be fit and healthy will have a
glowing complexion. Where do you think the saying "Glowing with Health" came
from?
Lose weight or more accurately, to lose
body fat. Yes, losing
weight and losing fat although being used interchangeably to mean the same
thing, it is not. By saying lose weight, it could mean you are loosing water,
waste, and worse of all, you your muscle. Losing body fat merely meant what it
says, fat loss. That will give you an attractive physical appearance.
Relaxes you and exercises are excellent
stress reliever. This is because when you workout and when your exercises are
intensive enough, you will produce endorphin. Many call this a happy hormone.
Increases bone density and therefore
keeping osteoporosis a bone disease afflicting most women as they age at bay.
Your bone will be wasting away along with your muscles. Therefore you must
exercise to build strong bones and retain your muscle mass.
When you exercise, your muscles get
stronger and grow. The more muscle fiber you have, the higher is your body
metabolism. The higher your body metabolism, the more body fat you will burn.
That is why to lose weight permanently, you have to gain muscle.
Gain strength and endurance. That flight
of stairs will no longer be as daunting. The football game you play will be a
breeze.
Why? Because as your fitness level builds
up, day to day chores become easier and you will enjoy whatever you do without
tiring so easily because of the increased physical fitness gained through
regular exercise.
Reducing your chances of getting heart
diseases, stroke and certain types of cancers which are the top killer
diseases. There are many other diseases which exercises will cut down the
risks of them afflicting you.
Reduce triglycerides and bad cholesterol,
raising the level of good cholesterol. Again this will protect you from
diseases caused by bad cholesterol.
Protects you against injuries as you are
fitter and more nimble. You are also more flexible and will discover a new
gait in your movement. Boy, it sure feels good to be in good health isn't it?
Improve immunity. Save your
doctor's bills! This means putting more money in your pocket!
Hmmm... enhance sexual desire and
performance. Remember we talked about endorphin, the happy hormone earlier?
You also produce this hormone when you are having sex. Getting more
interesting isnt it?
Lower resting heart rate and high blood
pressure. That means your general cardiovascular or heart health will improve.
Improve coordination and balance. Ask the
lady for a dance, will ya?
Regulate insulin sensitivity thus
prevention of type 2 diabetes. Thus you will not put on weight so easily and
in fact may even lose weight.
Increase confidence and self esteem. Of
course you can walk tall and proud because you will have improved your posture
holding up your new found musculature, glowing with health and own sexily
toned body to the boot!
So get into your running shoes now and head
for the gym now! Go ahead, lose
weight and gain muscle
for the New Year. Break this New Year resolution at your own peril.
Best Wishes
