Rant-A few years ago I was speaking with someone about my fitness program and they said they didn't NEED to workout because they were already thin. As a person who loves fitness this kind of stung-and truly bothered me!
Where have we gone wrong in the fitness industry, where people believe that exercise is JUST about losing weight-ugh! There are so many reasons we need to be working out that are much more important than what the scale says or what you look like.
There are SO many benefits to working out and if for some reason you haven't heard the reasons let me name a few:
-disease such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes respond strongly to exercise
-decreases anxiety, depression, and memory loss
-great for bone health for when you get older (yes it's going to happen, if you are lucky!)
-great for cell regeneration, making you look and feel younger
-helps with aging not only for bones but also for mobility so that you don't struggle to get out of your chair
-provides an opportunity to meet other people and become a part of a community
The list goes on and on. I would love to hear why it is you exercise, and if you don't, please rethink this choice. There are so many different ways you can get fitness into your life. Find a modality that works for you, an instructor that resonates with you, and please just keep moving-no matter how thin or happy you are with your body.
Give one of these workouts a try!
