15 Best Reasons Exercise Should Be Part Of Your Life


How many times in your lifetime have you said "I want to lose weight" or " I want to start exercising". I bet you've heard many friends, co-workers, and family say the same thing. 
We know what the outcome usually is...nothing! 
I'm part of that group, or was. I spent a big part of my life dreading exercise. When you dread something, it's very unlikely that you will ever do it or get it done. 
That all changed one day. I remember, I was sitting in the dentist office waiting on my name to be called when I grabbed a magazine to read. 
I came across an article which pointed out that most people's fear of physical activity stemmed from their gym classes during school. I could relate! Those speed races, physical fitness tests, mile hikes, suicides, dodge ball, and being humiliated if you failed or came in last.
Do you remember being pushed to the point of exhaustion where you felt like passing out? I do! Who would call this fun? 
Who would want to continue to do that for the rest of their lives? 
The more I read, the more my mindset around exercise began to change. It stated that you must stop living in the past, that it's time to toss what you know about exercise out the window!
It's a new day and a new time in your life. You must change our mindset about exercise to move forward. In order for your body to stay strong you need exercise. But it reminded me that exercise can be fun! There are hundreds of ways to exercise. Read this blog for some super ideas to get you started!
