Stretch it out! Coach cannon hits a yoga pose to demonstrate the easy form of exercise.
Do you ever laze around at home, vegging out on the couch, or lounging?
In modern-day America, there are things to think about left and right. Unfortunately, physical health is becoming a less-considered topic. With busybodies at jobs and adolescents at home doing anything but what they should be doing, one must ask: Could daily exercise benefit us more than we thought? I believe it does.
Coach Tanya Cannon, a fitness instructor for 14 years and current girls’ athletics coach at McAnally gives some input into physical activity.
“I think we can avoid depression and chronic illness with daily exercise,” Cannon said.
This doesn’t prove anything just yet, but it is a very good statement from someone so well-versed in physical education.
The lack of daily or frequent exercise can make people feel much, much more tired, which is not good for our daily life.
The Farview Rehabilitation Center’s article says “physical inactivity can lead to fatigue and low energy because when we don’t move our bodies, our muscles weaken, and our blood circulation slows down. This means less oxygen and nutrients reach our cells, making us feel drained.”
Overall, these facts prove that daily exercise is essential for one’s life, no matter the age. Perhaps, though, one might feel that they do not know where to start their exercise journey.
“I would start with running to a light jog. Even walking can be completely beneficial. You can find people around your age and fitness level online to get pointers, and even have your family members hold you accountable.”
Even if you feel helpless, there is a way to get your much-needed daily exercise. Everyone has to start somewhere, so why not get started in your comfort zone?
If you have been considering daily exercise, there is no time like the present to start.
