Why I exercise

I woke up this morning feeling tired and a little drained but I knew I had to teach a 9:30AM step class at the studio. As I began to get my thoughts together to get myself motivated, I began to think about why I work out and have made FITNESS a daily part of my life. There are many reasons that I exercise and here are just a few:
- I look and feel better. After I work out I feel like I can conquer anything, including the need to binge or eat junk foods.
- I know that to lead and live a healthy lifestyle I need to exercise.
- I have better health and live everyday to the fullest.
- Exercise helps with depression.
- I can set goals that I can achieve. They are realistic and attainable.
- I can practice self-care. I preach it to everyone, so living it is very important to me.
- When I feel better, my self-esteem and self-worth are very high.
- It feels good to sweat and burn calories, I know my body is thanking me but more-so my mind can go into an exercise zone.
- I see so many clients and realize that they, like me, have a better quality of life because we take care of ourselves.
There are more reasons but let’s start there. I urge you to get off the couch and start LOOKING AND FEELING better today!
