Effects of My Exercise

Personal Exercise Program

Although technology is creating many “time saving” gadgets, I still seem to fight for every second of my time. Because there are so many demands on my time, it is easy for me to submit to the relentless beckoning. One of the disadvantages to this mind set is that there isn’t any time left over for me. Subsequently, my overall fitness and health has declined.

A few months ago I resolved to take control of my life and set up some goals that would allow me to find fulfillment in my life. I picked up some hobbies and discovered that I couldn’t do all of the things I wanted because I was out of shape. It has been a challenge to get into shape enough to fulfill my goals. A few of the hobbies and goals I have for myself are first, to compete in a 10k race, second to increase body muscle mass, and third compete in a triathlon. These goals are quite lofty; however, I know I can accomplish them. These exercise programs I have created will allow me to reach the physical state I need, and they only require four hours per week or less.

There are also many other benefits to these programs. First, the exercise will lower my body fat composition since the body burns stored fat after the first twenty minutes of exertion. This reduction of fat, potentially, will raise my BMR increasing fat burning, which will lower LDL cholesterol. Another benefit is bodily rejuvenation which rids the body of old and dysfunctional substances. This renewal increases the body’s defense to disease through increased blood flow, increased erythrocytes and leukocytes, and a heightened lymphatic system. Finally, this exercise program will also increase my desire to eat healthily. When I feel good, and I’m exerting energy to maintain my health, I tend to watch the way I eat more. The best benefit of all is that I’m able to reach my goals and feel better about myself.
