WHY GYM? My Work Out Session.

The look on people's faces when I say I am going to the gym is usually hilarious. My former roommate asked me if I wanted to finish the small flesh I have. Lolz. I know people who are overweight use the gym but is the gym meant for just them? NO. Everyone owes themselves the duty of staying fit. For me, the gym is one of those places where I drop whatever I am worried about and just concentrate on one thing; exercises

I know people who are overweight use the gym but is the gym meant for just them? NO. Everyone owes themselves the duty of staying fit. For me, the gym is one of those places where I drop whatever I am worried about and just concentrate on one thing; exercises.

Aside the fact that you eventually fall in love with your body, there are other benefits derived from hitting the gym. Some of them include:

1. It feels good to be healthy. Not everyone has that gift of waking up and just jogging down to the gym. Some need motivation like shedding to get into a dress but at the end of the day, with work and dedication you get to live a healthy life.

2. Working out relieves stress. (This is one of my reasons as I stated earlier). While you concentrate on your work out you indirectly loose interest in what ever thoughts you came to the gym with and you definitely leaving there feeling better.

3. Health Benefits: Exercising daily strengthens your heart and allows it to pump more efficiently with less strain. Going to the gym for five days per week may lower your risk of developing heart disease or having a stroke, says the CDC, and going for a longer period often can lower your risk even more.

Regular exercise may lower your risk of developing diabetes, metabolic syndrome and some types of cancer, such as colon cancer and breast cancer. arthritis. It also improves your bone and muscle strength.

1. Using the gym improves your social skills. You get to meet people everyday. You gym together and probably talk about stuffs that bring you all together. Take pictures and before you know it you have a new friend.

Let me also mention that exercising improves your mental health too. It improves your thinking, learning , mood and sleep. Lack of sleep can result to many health conditions. And the most known reason is it helps you lose or maintain weight.

The thing about exercise is, once you start seeing results it becomes an addiction
