EXERCISE

Exercise is an integral part of fitness. Exercise is something that everyone needs, but thanks to our modern day society, almost no one gets nearly enough of. With all of our modern-day conveniences, simple forms of exercise are cut out of our day. We drive to the corner store, we drive-through at restaurants letting us eat without even getting up. This hurts our overall fitness, and everyone needs to take corrective measures to help our energy imbalance.

Since everytime we eat we are consuming calories, we need to perform enough physical activities to balance the intake. Calories that are ingested should equal the calories we burn. Because we eat unhealthy foods that contain plenty of calories and cut out many of the calorie burning activities we used to perform, we end up storing much more calories that end up as body fat.

Exercise is the only was to balance our energy intake/output. Exercise comes in many forms, and some are as simple as going up the stairs in your house. The trick is finding ways to add exercise to your life. You can choose to begin an exercise regiment, by joining a gym or getting some equipment for the house, or even jogging for 30 minutes a day around the block.

There are books on how to add little pieces of exercise into your regular day, by walking to the store, taking the stairs 2 at a time on the way up. Whichever way you choose to do it, everyone needs to add some physical activity into their day.
