Exercise is important in order to live a long healthy life. Fit people usually have a better quality of life. Physical exercise a few times per week will help maintain good physical health. All adults should exercise a minimum of two times per week.

One of the major benefits of exercise is improvement of physical health. Good physical health will improve your appearance. On top of making you look better, exercise will help you live longer. Regular exercise will cause your heart to grow stronger. This allows it to pump blood with less effort. This causes your body to experience less stress.

The second category of benefits from exercise is feeling better emotionally. After an hour of exercise in the morning, many people report being more alert for the rest of the day. Many people also feel better about their physical appearance after exercise. This causes an increase in confidence, which causes other benefits.

Exercise is important and has many useful benefits. People should begin developing an exercise plan now. The best plan is to start off small, but remember not to be afraid to increase intensity after getting comfortable. If you have any sort of health problems seek professional help before trying new exercises. Through routine exercise, the health of Cal Poly will improve.
