More Reasons to Exercise

Here are a few really good reasons to start exercising:

- Exercise can be a great mood enhancer, depression buster, and stress manager: do your workouts in nature, and enjoy the benefits of fresh air and sunlight.

- Sleep well after a good workout: of course, don’t exercise too late in the evening, as that can backfire on your, giving you extra energy.

- Exercise lowers the bad cholesterol, as well as your blood pressure, helping prevent heart conditions.

- Reduce back pain when you strengthen your back muscles, by improving flexibility with regular exercising.

- Systematic exercise enhances your immune system.

- Exercise also helps slow the aging process, because of increased blood flow to all the organs, as well as muscles.

Make Your Biceps Scream for Mercy!!!

I hate this exercise - when I'm doing it.

I love this exercise, after I finish.

It's easy. You need a chinup bar or a tree branch - whatever. Grab the bar about shoulder width apart with your palms facing you. Pull yourself up until your eyes are about level with the bar.

Ready? Hold that position as long as you can. Fight it as your body starts to lower, but be careful you don't drop to the ground and lose your balance.

Sure, you can do more than 1 set if you want. I never do. :-)

Afterwords your arm muscles are going to feel like they are bursting thru your skin.
