We all have our own reasons for working out. And while all reasons have merit (and there is nothing wrong with wanting to feel good about the reflection you see in the mirror), some reasons for hitting the gym are definitely better and more motivating than others. In fact, the goals you set and the reasons why you work out help set the tone for your entire lifestyle and can even play a role in your long-term health and success. Of course, it is recommended that you choose empowering and uplifting reasons to lose weight and work out.

Here are few reasons to exercise……daily :

  • For Better Sleep – We’re just like toddlers and puppies, the more we move, the better we sleep!
  • To Get Stronger – Building strength helps you keep you with the kids, carry the groceries, and lift a carry on into the overhead compartment like a boss.
  • To Challenge You Brain – Learning a dance or trying a new sport is as mentally stimulating as a cross word puzzle.
  • To Strengthen Your Heart & Bones – Regular exercise lowers your risk of a heart attack or stroke, while resistance training strengthens your bones and joints.
  • To Ease Aches and Pains – Strengthening vital muscle groups can reduce chronic pain and prevent future injuries.
  • To Improve Your Digestion – Many people with digestive issues find that moderate exercise eases their symptoms.
  • To Boost Your Mood – Physical activity reduces stress and releases endorphins, which will help you become a happier, healthier you.
  • To Improve Your Love Life – Exercise is truly the gift that keeps on giving, it can even boost your libido.
  • To Connect With The World Around You – You get to define what that means to you, like playing a team sport, dancing with friends, or walking aline through nature.
  • To Celebrate The Amazing Things You Body Can Do – Our bodies are our blessings, and it’s time we started treating them that way.

Working out for the right reasons will not only help your body reach optimal health, but your emotional health will benefit too. So, the next time you head to the gym because you “feel fat” or want to undo some hefty eating, think about the real reason you’re working out—to improve the quality and longevity of your life!
