Every day that passes is another day closer to the rest of your life. Studies have shown that exercise can increase your lifespan, whereas lack of exercise can decrease it.

2.You Need to Lose Weight

If you’re one of the 42.4% of adults in the US who are obese, you need to lose weight. Obesity is tied to numerous health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and a higher rate of premature death. Regular exercise helps to reduce body fat and reduce risk of heart disease and diabetes. Exercise burns calories and fat by creating a calorie deficit. Burn more calories than you eat, and you will burn fat. Over time, this calorie deficit leads to a drop in weight on the scale, a slimmer waistline, and a healthier body.

3.You Deserve to Be Happy

Physical exercise does so much more for you than shrink your waistline. Exercise helps to increase your strength, improve stamina, help you sleep better, and boost your mood. It can be therapeutic and act as a stress reliever when you’re navigating through a tough time.

Exercise is part of self-care because it is beneficial to both your physical and mental health. Everyone deserves to do something for themselves that improves their quality of life and wellbeing.

You should exercise because you deserve to reap the benefits of living a healthy, balanced life in a body you’re proud of.
