Who is a Personal Trainer? An individual who educates and trains clients in the practice of sage and appropriate exercises to effectively guide their clients toward optimal health. You can be your own personal trainer by educating and motivating yourself with the endless resources online! And my fitness and health book, which will be available early next year, will also help!
And would you believe that a whopping ¼ of the nation's population are still trainer potatoes! That's 25% of Americans who remain sedentary. How could that be?
Maybe they don't understand how fitness can help them. Here are some of the top reasons to exercise.
Exercise can alleviate at least ten medical problems or health-related conditions:
o Allergies: Exercise is one of the body's most efficient ways to control nasal congestion
o Anxiety: Exercise triggers the release of mood-altering chemicals in the brain
o Arthritis: By forcing the skeletal joint to move, exercise induces the production of synovial fluid, helps distribute it throughout the cartilage, and forces it to circulate through the joint space.
o Cancer: Exercise helps maintain ideal body weight and reduce body fat to a minimum
o Depression: Exercise helps speed up metabolism and deliver more oxygen to the brain, improving your mood.
o Insomnia: Helps relieve muscle tension and stress
o Knee problems: Helps strengthen the structures of the knee
o Memory problems: Helps demonstrate cognitive abilities by increasing blood and oxygen flow to the brain
o Osteoporosis: Exercise promotes bone density
o Obesity problems: exercise is an appetite suppressant
o Varicose veins: exercise prevents them
So you know why it's important to exercise! I challenge you all to get excited about training and look at it as “I can do it!” instead of “I have to!”
Give yourself the best gift you can get – the gift of movement!
