Making Exercising a Top Priority
Exercising should be a top priority in your life. It will help you sleep, keep your weight under control, reduce your risk for metabolic diseases, and help you to live longer. Most exercises consist of aerobics, anaerobic, and agility training.
Exercising Increases Your Lifespan
Exercising adds years to your life, helps with weight loss, prevents cancer and heart conditions, improves your sex life, helps people sleep better, and improves your lung functions (Mayo Clinic). Exercise is proven to help you live longer, providing improved functioning inside your brain along with stronger bones and muscles - especially as you age (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).
Include Family and Friends
Make exercise fun by including your family and friends in the routines, choose activities besides the gym like basketball, horseback riding, tennis, or even an evening stroll around the neighborhood (Robinson et al).
Sometimes including friends and family in the routines cannot happen due to conflict in schedules, etc. Going alone is a must. This does not have to be boring or made to seem like a chore.
Make exercise a routine by replacing an unhealthy habit with time for exercise and create a realistic plan to achieve realistic goals (Semeco). Sometimes when you try to make huge goals, especially in the beginning, you might stop working out because it is hard for you to reach such high goals. Making little goals along the way will help you to reach higher goals, even ones you never thought possible.
Slows Down Insomnia and Helps You Sleep
If you have trouble sleeping, just 30 minutes of exercise will immediately help to sleep better without medications along with research showing exercising slows down insomnia (Johns Hopkins Medicine).
Aerobic Exercises

Anaerobic Exercises
Anaerobic exercises (weightlifting, sprints, jump rope) utilizes the energy stored within your muscles, increasing bone density and strength, keeps weight managed, studies revealed the exercise increases power, builds lean muscle helping to boost metabolism, increases lactic threshold helping your fatigue, and gives you more energy by improving the body's ability to store glycogen.
Agility Training
