Summer is quickly approaching and everyone is rapidly purchasing last minute gym memberships in order to get “bikini ready”. Sure, looking good in your bathing suit is great for your confidence but there are more reasons to get in shape than just for looks.
Check out a few of the most prominent benefits to achieving overall health and wellness with our in-home fitness programs:
Through a regular exercise regimen, it has been proven that you will actually have a better night’s sleep. In fact, results from the 2013 annual Sleep in America Poll from the National Sleep Foundation say that those who consider themselves to be regular exercisers experience better sleep than those who do not.
Luckily, the rumors are true: fitness does have a ton of health benefits – one being a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. Research shows that those who simply walk 3,500 steps a day, or those who exercise for 150 minutes a week and do 60 minutes week of strength training, had a lower risk of developing the disease.
The more you exercise, the stronger your overall body gets – whether you can see it physically or not. Through fitness programs such as yoga and Pilates, your heart becomes better at pumping oxygen-rich blood throughout your body. In turn, this lowers your resting heart rate and reduces your risk for serious heart disease.
Anyone who gets regular to frequent migraines knows the intense pain that comes along with them. Relief cannot come soon enough when a migraine hits full force, and luckily there is a way to reduce or eliminate them all together: exercise! Research shows that those who exercise regularly found a decrease in their headaches and that working out worked just as well as any medication or relaxation therapy.
