Reasons to participate in physical exercise

Welcome to 5.14 Fitness,

There are many reasons why you should participate in physical activity the first is that it improves your health. Health is the complete state of physical, mental and social well-being- not just the absence of sickness or infirmity. By exercising you improve your body’s posture and you also decrease your blood pressure and resting heart rate- these are physical aspects of health that can help you in life and increasing your life expectancy. It will also relieve stress and help you develop skills and become part of a team.

Another reason to take part in physical activity is that it is enjoyable, when you exercise your body releases chemicals called endorphins which make you feel good, in addition by exercising you could find yourself a new hobby to occupy yourself with- relieving boredom.  

Physical activity provides the body with a challenge, if you set yourself goals and targets you have to push yourself and commit to the cause in order to reach them. So taking part in exercise keeps you occupied, motivated and provides a sense of accomplishment if these targets are reached as you would have pushed yourself in order to reach them. 

 Moreover physical activity allows you to take part in competition with others, this keeps you active socially as you are mixing with others but also keeps you motivated and determined as you want to do your best in order to succeed. 

 A further reason is that you get to meet new people and make new friends.  By participating in physical activity, you can find/meet new people who share similar interests as you; this will improve communication skills as well as confidence.

The final reason to participate in physical activity is that you will develop aesthetic appreciation of others. So you will be able to understand your activity and give praise to those who are performing well and recognise the levels of skill and what is good.     

Hope this helps. Thanks for reading please view again, comment, subscribe, plus one and so on- peace!
