Sure the fat is collecting around our thighs and hips, we try to ignore it and buy larger clothing, but yet it continues, relentless in its endeavor to embarrass us. Or are you one of the lucky few who has no problem with weight gain, and have a great metabolism rate, or one who is disciplined enough to eat correctly and exercise. We will feel better about ourselves, more confident, our clothes fit and look well on our trim figures. Our muscles are stronger, and consequently hold our bones in correct alignment, thus relieving pain in joints and back.
Bones are stronger because of exercise, lessening the possibility of osteoporosis.
Being aware of what we eat, in combination with exercise, we can more readily maintain a proper weight. Good metabolism maintained by exercise can deflect the possibility of adult onset diabetes. The reduction of body fat by exercise can lower blood pressure. Ease of blood flow and lower cholesterol levels are by products of exercising, and can reduce the possibility of heart attacks. Work up to your potential slowly and deliberately.
