Exercise why do I dread you? You do so many GREAT things for me….

Whether it’s having more energy or being sharper at work, exercise has many benefits for us (An improved physique is a bonus).If you've been looking for the motivation to begin an exercise program or get back into working out regularly, here are 5 fitness facts that may help inspire you to get off the couch and back in the gym.

Exercise increases energy levels and increases serotonin in the brain, which leads to improved mental clarity. Not only are you more productive at work but your energy level gets you through the days where they last a little bit longer than you expected. Not to mention this boosts your immune system therefore not necessary to take off any sick days =)

You might be surprised at how popping in that workout DVD (P90X or Insanity) for 30 minutes in the morning can change your entire day. When endorphins are released into your bloodstream during exercise you feel much more energized the rest of the day. And when you improve your strength and stamina, it's easier to accomplish everyday tasks like carrying groceries and climbing stairs.

2. Feel less stress

As much as it may stress you out just to think about exercising, once you actually start working out, you'll experience less stress in every part of your life. Exercise produces a relaxation response that serves as a positive distraction by helping elevate your mood and keep depression at bay. You're not the only person who will benefit from more happiness and less stress in your life. When you're less stressed, you're less irritable and that could improve relationships with your partner, kids, and co-workers.
