A fitness exercise is any rigorous bodily activity that works your muscles and helps your body burn calories.

If you have not started on an exercise regimen for proper health and wellness yet, here are the top 5 reasons you must start out today:
1. Fitness exercise makes you happier
It is not magic, but regular exercise makes you happier over a period of time. Exercises activate the release of endorphins in the human brain, and this hormone produces feelings of happiness and vitality. Daily exercise also triggers the production of hormones serotonin and norepinephrine which reduce the incidence of depression, sensitivity to pains, as well as stress and anxiety.
2. Fitness exercise triggers faster weight loss
Inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle have been proven to aid weight gain, and daily exercises are proven to aid weight loss. Fitness activities help food digest faster, improve uptake of nutrients, maintain vital organ functions, and burn calories and fat. The more exercise you undertake, the more and faster your body burns excess fat to give you a leaner muscle mass.
3. Exercise strengthens your bones and muscles
Physical exercises such as weightlifting and press-ups build muscle mass, but it is best to combine the activities with protein intake. Your bones also get stronger with exercises and prevent them from growing weaker. Old people tend to fall and break their bones because they do not often engage in exercises that will keep their bones strong, so they suffer from osteoporosis. You’ll get stronger bone density and muscle mass with fitness exercises.
4. Regular exercise is always an energy booster
To constantly boost your energy levels, you need constant exercise. Don’t you feel stronger, healthier, and stronger after each exercise session? We all do. Exercise boosts your vitality and strength by increasing your energy levels. It banishes feelings of fatigue and improves certain health conditions such as diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Do not forget that daily exercise improves the cardiovascular system and boosts blood circulation for overall wellbeing.
5. Exercise reduces the chances of certain diseases
Having established that inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle contribute to the risks of diabetes, hypertension, some types of cancer, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases, it is reasonable to understand regular exercises prevent the occurrence and onset of these health conditions. Lack of sustained exercises make way for the onset of high cholesterol, fatty mass, insulin insensitivity, lower blood pressure, cardiovascular disease; but exercise prevents these conditions.
The benefits derivable from exercises are instant and direct, and the higher the exercise the higher the benefits. If you stop exercising for a few weeks, the benefits you had obtained may reverse gradually. It is advisable to make fitness exercise a daily regime to maintain optimum health and wellbeing.
