"How Exercise Benefits Women of All Ages"
5 important facts why all ladies should exercise.
No matter at what age a woman becomes physically active, an ever growing body of research continues to support the notion that the benefits of increased activity are tremendous, and extremely beneficial throughout a woman's life.
1. Avoid Weight Gain!
During midlife, the most common physical complaint among women is weight gain. This slow, but steady and persistent gain is something the majority of middle aged women experience. Research studies have shown that women who stay active throughout midlife have more lean muscle, greater metabolic rates and less weight gain then their sedentary peers.
2. Improve Sleep quality, daytime energy levels and prevents health problems!
Research has also shown that many of the other common ailments of middle aged women can be alleviated or controlled through exercise. Exercise can improve sleep quality and daytime energy levels, and help prevent chronic health problems such as high blood pressure, Type II diabetes, high cholesterol levels, depression and arthritis.
3. How to put up a fight against a Woman's most debilitating disease!
One of the most convincing reasons to begin an exercise program in midlife is to ward off the debilitating effects of osteoporosis. It is widely known that a woman's bone density begins to decline even before her midlife years, and bone loss accelerates after menopause. While most types of activity offer some protection against bone loss, weight bearing exercise such as walking, jogging and strength training seem to offer the greatest benefit.
4. Breast Cancer: Lower the risk by 20%
A growing body of evidence has linked regular exercise to lower the risk of breast cancer. Woman who exercise 1.5 hours per week have about a 20% lower risk of developing breast cancer than those who are inactive. That's just three 30 minute sessions per week .
5. Exercise to Enjoy Life!
Exercise releases feel-good endorphins into your system. Add to this the physical benefits such as a better skin complexion, body shape, definition, you will also certainly feel stronger, happier and more positive about yourself.
