Benefits of Exercising
Ever shied away from exercising regularly? Apart from the usual benefits burning calories, toning up the muscles and your waistline going down there are other health benefits to be obtained. If you are wondering whether to join your local gym, here are five reasons you should do it.
1. More energy
This one's hard to believe, but exercising will make you feel more energetic. Exercise boosts a hormone that increases energy. And it doesn't take more than a few workouts before strength and the lungs' capacity to provide oxygen to working muscles improve, increasing stamina -- which is enough to make anyone feel more energetic.
2. Less stress
Just one simple workout can ease stress and anxiety. People fee significantly less anxious during an hour or two after they workout. Exercise enhances the flow of brain chemicals, such as serotonin, that are related to positive mood. Because it also increases core body temperature, it can be as relaxing as a good soak in a hot tub.
3. A sharper mind
Exercise can even spark creativity. It is proven that people become more creative after a workout and also feel positive.
4. Healthier arteries
Physical activity boosts levels of high-density lipoproteins, or HDL, the so-called good cholesterol, by as much as 20 percent. HDL helps rid the body of low-density lipoproteins, or LDL, the artery-clogging kind. Studies show that HDL can even pick up cholesterol deposited in arteries and move it to where it won't do harm. The level of fat particles in the blood, called triglycerides, falls by as much as 40 percent after a vigorous workout. And the lower your triglyceride level, studies show, the lower your risk of heart disease.
5. Better defenses
The moment you begin exercising, your heart starts pounding and your blood pressure surges, sweeping disease-fighting immune cells out into the blood, where they're able to detect troublemakers like cold or flu viruses.

Smile Please
Two young engineers applied for a single position at a corporate company. They both had the same qualifications. In order to determine which individual to hire, the applicants were asked to take a written test by the manager.
Upon completion of the test, both of them missed only one of the questions. The manager went to the first applicant and said “thank you for your interest, but we’ve decided to give the job to the other applicant”.
“And why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct” asked the rejected applicant.
“We have based our decision not on the correct answers, but on the questions you missed” said the manager. “your fellow applicant put down on question NO.5, ‘I don’t know.’ You put down, ’Neither Do I.”
