#9 - Because it improves your heart health

Photo By rei-san 

From Web MD: A sedentary (inactive) lifestyle is one of the top risk factors for heart disease. Fortunately, it's a risk factor that you can do something about. Regular exercise, especially aerobic exercise, has many benefits.

This is kind of a big deal.  What we eat and what we do makes our body healthier or sicker.  However, what I find really exciting is that I also think that exercise is good for our emotional "heart."  We breathe, find calm, or find our point of exhaustion. 

We aren't dwelling in our minds for just a short time each day.  Instead we're dwelling in our bodies.  Exercise triggers responses within our muscles, our nerves, and our balance stabilizers.  It keeps us too "busy" to over think things.  Thus, letting our subconscious take over and work on issues that need to be worked on. 

So that, when it's time for bed, we are sleepy and our mind can be quiet. That is a beautiful gift.
