Exercise Equals Less Stress
Good Exercise is what is needed in order to perform at our peak. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your time and put in a commitment to exercise consistently. Exercising is good for you obviously, but not just physically. Exercise is great for your mental health as well. It is your brain that powers your mental world, so the easiest way to keep your brain healthy is to exercise.
Real exercising is not just doing a set of push ups one time a week or walking around the block every once in a while whenever you can remember to do it. Real exercise is setting a consistent schedule and staying committed to performing your best towards it. Exercise is not real exercise if it is not done on a regular basis. If you choose not to do it on a regular basis, then you are wasting your time knowing that you will return to the old unhealthy you. So create a schedule to exercise, and make sure you are really doing something. If you don’t leave from the gym or park sweating, then you need to make a U turn and go right back in.
If you are undisciplined, I would suggest getting a personal trainer to help you. Here is why. If you know you need to do a certain set of repetitions, but you become tired, you would probably quit if you were alone. However with a trainer you would react a little different. You would find every way you possibly could to make sure you don’t look like a quitter. You don’t want to be a quitter. With a trainer you take things much more seriously, not just because you are paying them your hard earned money, but because they are standing right there watching you.
As you exercise you are cleaning yourself up. You are returning to your natural state of being, healthy. Once you exercise efficiently and you are healthy, your brain is healthy as well. When your brain is healthy you are stress free. Most of the time when you are stress free, you don’t think negative thoughts so much either. There has been plenty of tests and case studies that show and prove why it is better to exercise. What they have found is that the people who do exercise are very much less likely to be stressed than those who don’t. How many healthy people who exercise on a regular basis do you know that complain a lot, and are always stressed? Not many at all.
Begin now. Right now, and start exercising. Make a commitment, and have a good attitude each and every time you do it. Remember that God created us all, he hand made our bodies at of his own image. You should think about that the next time you don’t feel like exercising. You are managing the body that God gave you, show gratitude and appreciation and take care of it. You have nothing to lose, but a better life to gain!

Michelle :
Thanks for the submission of your article to the beauty carnival. I feel so guilty reading the article for the simple fact that I could probably try and fit some more time in for exercise.
