Effects of Exercise on Mood

Effects of Exercise on Mood
Everybody now knows how that physical activity and feelings or energy are integrally related.

Moderate exercise raises energy temporary, and physical conditioning through long term exercise leads to sustained levels of higher energy.

Of course too much physical activity can reduce energy but the low levels of physical activity that modern people maintain usually do not reach that point of diminishing energy, except in short term exertion or in conjunction with health problems.

Exercise also can reduce tension, although this mood relationship with exercise is not as clear as the exercise association.

In any event, the mood effects of exercise have been evident in study after study.

Therefore, in managing moods it is essential to be fully aware of how physical activity affects you.

Walking –The King of Exercise


Walking –The King of Exercise
As you walk grasp yourself in the small of the back and feel how your entire frame responds to every stride.

Notice how almost all of your muscle are functioning rhythmically.

No other exercise gives us the same body harmony of movement and improved circulation. Brisk walking is the best exercise for almost everyone.

Your walking should never be done consciously, No “heel and toe” business. No getting there in a certain time.

Let it be fun and natural. Walk naturally with head high, spine and chest lifted up. You will feel elated, so you will carry yourself proudly, straight, erect and with arm swinging.

Vow to become a health walker and make the daily walk a fixed item on your health program all the year around, in all kinds of weather.

If the outer world of nature fails to interest you, turn to the inner world of the mind. As you walk, your body ceases to matter and you become as near poet and philosopher as you will ever be.

By end of the days, the healthy functioning of your muscles and quickened blood circulating with a sense of balanced harmony and happiness.

Gardening is another rewarding form exercise. It may give enough exercise in the open to help keep you in good physical condition.

But gardening may not prevent weight gain if there is too little movement and because you are bent over more instead of being erect.
