🏃🏻♀️Physical well-being, cognition, cardiovascular heath, joint mobility, prevention of disease, weight control and helping improve insulin sensitivity are what make daily movement so important.🏋🏻♀️
💪 Physical activity burns calories aiding in weight management.
🍭 Moving your body helps improve insulin sensitivity and your body’s ability to use it effectively. If you’re looking to improve your metabolic health, which we should ALL be doing, exercise plays a crucial role by enhancing the uptake of glucose by our muscles.
🧠 Exercise can significantly lower feelings of depression, anxiety and overall stress. Physical exercise has been directly connected to a stronger gut microbiome which just so happens to be where the majority of serotonin is produced…hence why we call our gut “our second brain” and so often talk about the gut-brain connection. Exercise can help us retain memory and has been shown to improve cognitive function. If you already exercise more days of the week than not, then you already know that feeling of focus and energy.
🫀Physical activity has also been proven to improve our cardiovascular health by improving our heart function and circulation.
🦴 Daily movement, especially load-bearing exercises, are what strengthen our joints. Stronger joints means more range of motion and better flexibility which can help reduce the risk of injuries. Load-bearing exercises also leads to better bone density. This is especially important during mid-life when there’s a shift in our body’s ability to produce s*x hormones. This hormonal decline is when we begin to see an acceleration in bone and muscle loss at a higher rate.
💫 Do you struggle with motivation to get moving? Hiring a professional, whether it’s a health coach or personal trainer, may be the motivation you need, but having a strong “why” is the best motivation there is. This is your only body. Honor it. 💫
