If your body is stagnate then so are your thoughts, you cannot think clearly or rationally and you lose sight of your goals. Your mind needs exercise as does your body, for without it your muscles will become weak or atrophy. Conversely, added weight gain could lead to serious health problems such as Diabetes, therefore it is important to exercise.
Exercise has many benefits. It not only strengthens your muscles but gives you a sense of purpose, discipline, and self-control. By exercising you become in charge of your health and in charge of your life.
There is no fast and hard rule to what exercise form you should be doing, the key is to exercise in the way you enjoy most. That may be at the gym or in a certain sport such as dancing, football, cricket, swimming, martial arts or more. Irrespective of the form of exercise as long as you do it consistently your personal health improves.
Exercise is simple and can be incorporated easily into daily life. This is called incidental exercises and includes things such as always parking 2 blocks away from your destination and walking the extra distance, taking the stairs instead of the lift, and riding bicycles more often instead of driving.
To greater increase your health and vitality Chinese Medicine in particular recommends exercises such as Kung Fu and Qi Gong. These types of martial arts allow for not only strengthening the body but also the mind and spirit.
