How and Why Exercise Works – And How to Put it to Work for YOU

"You only get one body, so let’s fight like hell to make it the best it can be.” – Chris JW Reeves

Exercise is more than movement; it’s a powerful tool to transform your body, mind, and spirit. It’s your ticket to strength, vitality, and a life full of possibilities. But how does it work? And more importantly, how can you make it work for YOU? Let’s break it down.

How Exercise Works

Exercise isn’t just about looking good—it’s about living better. Here’s how it empowers you from the inside out:

1. Strengthens Your Heart and LungsEvery step you take or weight you lift makes your heart and lungs stronger and more efficient. This reduces your risk of heart disease and gives you the energy to take on life’s challenges.

2. Builds Muscle and Protects BonesLifting weights or doing resistance exercises helps you stay strong and mobile, no matter your age. It’s your armor against bone loss and muscle weakness.

3. Regulates Blood SugarMoving your body helps balance blood sugar levels and keeps insulin working efficiently, reducing your risk of diabetes.

4. Lifts Your MoodExercise releases feel-good hormones that banish stress and improve your outlook. It’s like giving your mind a hug every time you move.

5. Extends Your LifeWant to live longer? Studies show that regular exercise reduces the risk of chronic diseases and helps you age with grace.

Why It’s Important

Exercise is a gift to yourself—a way to honor your body and live the life you deserve.

• Feel Amazing Every Day: More energy, better sleep, and less stress make you unstoppable.

• Stay Independent Longer: Strong muscles and healthy bones keep you moving with confidence as you age.

• Live Life Fully: Exercise helps you enjoy your passions—whether it’s chasing grandkids, climbing mountains, or simply dancing in your kitchen.

How to Put Exercise to Work for YOU

The secret to success is starting where you are and building a routine that works for your life. Here’s how:

1. Make It About YOUFind what you love. Whether it’s yoga, strength training, or cardio, when you enjoy the process, the results will follow.

2. Mix It UpA well-rounded fitness routine includes:

   • Cardio: For your heart and lungs (think walking, running, or cycling).

   • Strength Training: For muscle and bone health.

   • Flexibility and Balance: To keep you moving with ease.

3. Start Small and Build BigBegin with manageable goals, like a 10-minute walk. Every small step builds momentum for the next.

4. Find Your PeopleAccountability is key. Whether it’s a trainer, a class, or a workout buddy, having support makes all the difference.

5. Keep It SimpleYou don’t need perfection—just consistency. Some days will be tough, but showing up is always a win.
