Muscles and bones are what make our body. And as we age, bones start to trouble us a little bit. But it can be easily avoided with regular exercise. Improving your body strength also enhances muscle mass and makes bones stronger. 

These strong bones and muscles will help us in the future as we won’t have to go through muscle pain and Osteoporosis, the bone-related disease in the elderly. And for those looking for short term rewards, increased muscles helps in burning calories more efficiently. 

The flexibility of the body can easily be increased with the help of regular stretching. The flexible body improves blood circulation and reduces the risk of heart diseases.

It might make you age slower

No, exercise doesn’t stop the time or makes you hop in the time machine of any sort. But a new study has shown that regular exercise can slow down the ageing of cells. It won’t change the “number”, but you’ll feel at least a few years younger in comparison to your same-aged friends. Another study has also shown that the life span of people who exercise daily increases by five years. 

7
Increases Energy Level


While this may sound strange to those who hardly get off the bed and visit the gym, a workout is actually a great way to boost your energy levels. Ask anyone who works out on a daily basis, and he/she will tell you how rejuvenated they feel after exercise. Exercise reduces the feeling of fatigue and can also cure chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).

8
Boosts Memory

Well, who doesn’t want that? Studies have shown that exercise can actually improve your memory. The simple logic that will prove this point is the fact that as your heart rate increases during the workout session, more blood and oxygen starts flowing to your brain – which keeps the mind sharp!

Along with that, as you get sweaty during the exercise, the body increases the production of cells in the hippocampus. And it is the very thing responsible for memory and learning. That is why kids, who usually go through a lot of physical activities, are the quickest learners. But it applies to older people too – Only if you exercise regularly! 

9
Setting and achieving goals

Physical and mental health is not the only thing workout sessions can help with. What if you are having trouble setting and achieving goals in your academics or career? Don’t you worry, exercise can help you out here as well.

A person always tends to set a certain goal during a workout. If you are going for a run, there will be a goal of 5-10 kilometres based on stamina. And the feeling of achieving that goal is, of course, priceless. 

So with regular exercise, a person can shift that habit of goal-oriented workout in his/her academic or professional life as well. 

10
Boosts Self Confidence

As mentioned above, the satisfaction you get after achieving the set goal for the workout is absolutely priceless. And why wouldn’t it? After all, it is the feeling of finishing a job successfully. 

Achieving a goal in the workout also helps increase our self-confidence in daily routine. It gives you the feeling that you can do anything you set your mind to, man! (Yes, Eminem lyrics!) A study has also proved that simple exercise can convince you that you look better – And there is no bigger confidence booster!

11
Sleep Peacefully

Trouble sleeping at night? Exercise is the best way to solve that problem. With regular physical activities, a person tends to be energised throughout the day. So when it’s time to hit the bed, the body will be in dire need of the rest, hence helping you sleep quickly. Not only that, but you will also get peaceful and deep sleep, making you reenergized and refreshed for the next day once again. 

12
Controls Addiction

When a person feels the pleasure of any kind, sex, drug, alcohol or food, a certain “reward chemical” dopamine is released by the brain. The problem is, this dopamine can be quite an addictive thing, and people get hooked on things which produce it – mostly alcohol or drugs. 

But workout also produces dopamine in the body, which can help people hooked on toxic products. The dopamine that addicts crave can be provided by exercise, which can start the process of recovery. The sleep cycle, which often gets disturbs due to drugs and alcohol, also returns to the normal due to exercise. 

13
Better Social Life

In the world of internet and social media, the world might have come closer, but we are moving in the opposite direction in real life. People prefer staying indoor and enjoy being all by themselves, making them introvert. 

But being surrounded by friends and family is one of the most critical aspects of human life. And exercise can help us protect that. At your regular exercise places, you can find like-minded people and actually have fun during the workout. And by exercising together, you can motivate each other to try a little harder and push their boundaries. 

14
Increases Productivity and Creativity

Exercise helps you increase memory, boosts self-confidence and helps you set and achieve goals for yourself. So why won’t it increase your productivity? Connect the dots, people! People find themselves a lot happier at workplaces after workout sessions and a lot less under the stress, which helps their productivity. 

15
Better Sex Life

We have already mentioned 14 benefit of workout – Yes, Fourteen! But if that doesn’t make you get out of your bed and to the gym, maybe this will – Exercise improves your sex life!

Exercise strengths cardiovascular system improves blood circulation and tones muscles,+++  all of which are helpful for sex life. And not to forget, studies have also proved that regular exercise also boosts the sex drive.
