BENEFITS OF EXERCISE TO HEALTH AND WEALTH

Generally people agree that health is wealth which is true. Health is paramount to wealth as long as both are concerned hence the saying that HEALTH IS WEALTH and not the other way round.
Regular exercising like jogging, skipping, running, swimming, cycling, playing sports, long walks and many more can improve your health, self confidence, quality of life and most importantly lower the risk of you developing serious health issues.

For you to be wealthy and keep your wealthy you must be healthy and for you to be healthy you need to have an active life style, be physically and mentally fit and alert. To achieve all these mentioned above exercise and fitness are major factors.

Engaging in exercise helps increase our energy level which actually mean that we will have more energy to work and do business. In other words exercise helps us to create wealth. People often say that health is more important than wealth but in practical they do the opposite. They spend much time at work and in business and give little or no time for exercise and other activities that will actually improve their health. This eventually breaks them down and they will be spending their wealth to regain their health. 
This cycle continues unless you strike a balance between their quest for wealth and staying healthy. To achieve this, apart from diet, a program of exercise should be an integral part of your daily or weekly activity that must not be ignored as it will enhance your physical, mental and internal well being.

Health is dependent on exercise, wealth is dependent on health. EXERCISE! BE FIT!.......Give your health the required attention so that you can keep your wealth.

MAKE YOUR HOME A BETTER GYM


The explosive growth of home exercise equipment is an ample proof that home exercise is the new phenomenon in fitness and living an active life style. Great results can be achieved exercising at home as long as you determined, focus know what you are doing.

Your rug/carpet or an exercise mat, some light weight dumbbells, exercise tubing, determination and commitment are all it takes to get a good result exercising at home. Individuals with erratic work schedule, stay-at-home moms and individuals who work from home can simply set up a gym atmosphere in the comfort of their homes as this is a perfect solution to their exercise and fitness needs. 
 Determination, commitment, self motivation and discipline are very vital factors for you to get very good results exercising at home since you will be on your own.

The intimidating social atmosphere of a health club or a paid gym, waiting in line for equipment coupled with the fact that most people flirt more and exercise less discourage people from exercising at health clubs or gym. A hectic schedule, a long stay in transit and domestic engagements can also discourage you from exercising at home. However studies have shown that people exercising at home are more likely to stick to their program than those exercising at a club.

To obtain the best result, warming up for about 10 – 15 minutes with light aerobics exercise, walking, jogging, cycling, taking deep breaths and stretching before starting strength training is necessary as it helps the muscles relax and rejuvenate. An exercise like pushups, abdominal, stretching and some flexibility exercises does not require equipment.

Get that physical outlook and internal wellness; be fit while relaxing at home. Make your home your gym now.
