and in shape. And when you feel the energy boost that every workout leaves you with and

Let’s take a look at what you can expect from your body when you finally pull yourself

Watch the video to find out even more amazing benefits of daily workouts. Believe us, after
watching this video; you'll see exercising in a whole new light!
During training: During training your system goes through a
lot of processes. First of all, your metabolic rate increases. Simply speaking, your body
burns more calories. That's why a lot of experts suggest not to be so strict with yourself
and eat a pizza or a piece of cake if you want, but always do a couple more exercises
when usual during your next workout. Also, your blood viscosity improves. This applies
to both light and heavy exercises. Working out stimulates the growth of new blood vessels.
Plus, the oxygen flow rate increases from usual 8 liters at the times of rest to 100
liters per minute. This happens because your muscles are working harder when you exercise.
And again, your system needs oxygen to burn calories more effectively. The increased blood
flow allows the cells to take in more oxygen and nutrition from blood as well. It also
has a positive effect on your brain cells, improving their work. That's why when you
do at least a little bit of exercising early in the morning it helps you quickly become
more focused and awake.
Just after training: Everyone knows this feeling that you get after
a good training when you feel exhausted but at the same time surprisingly energized. Well,
at this time, your brain starts to release more endorphins, which lift your mood. Endorphins
reduce pain, as they activate special receptors in your brain. They also have a bunch of other
positive effects on your body and mind: they help overcome addictions, deal with anxiety,
depression and overall improve your immune system! Your body also begins to digest proteins
and carbohydrates four times faster, so you lose weight more quickly. Well, I don't know
about you, but I'm going to the gym now! Plus, a good thing to do just after a workout is
to have a cold shower. This way you'll lower your chances of feeling sore the next morning
or during your next training.
A few hours after training: A couple of hours after a workout your blood
pressure becomes normalized. Plus, did you notice that you become more confident after
training and your self-esteem improves? You feel like you can do anything and your motivation
grows. No wonder that happens, you just survived numerous crunches, planks, and lunges! Still,
it sharpens your brain and helps you work more effectively. You also begin to sleep
better as your sleep quality improves. You fall asleep quicker and wake up energized.
Well, now you can forget about all the countless attempts to open your eyes in the morning
– you'll feel relaxed and ready to kick-start your day and won't need this snooze button!
As you can guess you don't need to wait for months to see the first positive changes workouts
bring into your life – you can feel little improvements just after a couple of hours!
After a few weeks of regular training: Proper training gradually improves your system
– your heart and blood vessels start to work better. Your lung capacity improves,
which leads to a general increase of your stamina. As you'll continue regular exercising,
you would forget about such thing as being short of breath – that's also the benefit
of great lung capacity. Talking of other great changes a week of working out leads to, your
blood hemoglobin level also improves: the number of red blood cells per cubic millimeter
of blood increases from 5 million to 6 million. Your immune system becomes way stronger: the
level of lymphocytes in the blood goes up, which helps your body fight bacteria and different
viruses faster and more efficiently. Among other things, your body regulates the level
of sugar and other substances in the blood more easily. The best thing is that your body
stores less fat! Additionally, regular workouts get you tougher, stronger and harder. Sounds
amazing, isn't it?
After a few months of regular training: Months of regular training influence your
system on a whole other level. First of all, the oxygen transfer to your muscles increases
and microcirculatory blood flow improves. Secondly, the coordination of your movements
improves, which also helps you strengthen your nervous system. In fact, the speed of
nerve impulse transmission increases, which results in the improvement of brain activity.
So, you start to make decisions more quickly and stop hesitating and getting nervous for
no reason. Moreover, the musculoskeletal system of your
body strengthens, so your bones become denser. You become less prone to stress, and you're
less likely to experience depression and mood swings.
Also, regular workouts positively change your character – you become more determined and
strong-willed. For some people regular exercises even turn into some therapy: it helps to release
strong emotions, such as pain and anger, and clear the mind from all the problems and bad
thoughts. And this way of dealing with possible issues is amazing because in the process you're
becoming stronger both physically and mentally! And if everything seemed awful in the beginning,
it gets less hard with each training and way more enjoyable.
After a few years of regular training: Well, aside from the obvious things that years
of regular training and workouts give you, like an overall improvement of your system
and making you fitter, they also increase your life expectancy. This statement applies
to any form of physical activity that you're doing in your spare time. If you're not a
big fan of the gym, you can always find something to your liking, for example, cycling, or even
create your own program of exercises that you would enjoy, or at least tolerate. If
you lack motivation and fortunately enough you have a friend, who also can't pull him-
or herself to start working out, you can try to go to the gym together so that you can
stimulate one another. Also, another fact, which will probably encourage you to start
exercising, is that when you regularly work out, you stay young for longer. Who doesn't
want that, right? And even more amazingly, recent studies showed that daily workouts
slow brain aging. So the ultimate recipe for being fit, healthy and beautiful, keeping
your mind clear and sharp and build such qualities as determination and strong-will, is just
simply exercising! Years of daily workouts may sound dreadful right now, but just start,
and believe us, when you'll see the difference, you won't regret it!
