1
00:00:00,009 –> 00:00:06,770
Exercise
2
00:00:06,779 –> 00:00:17,820
A state of physical and mental health allows you to take part in exercise comfortably and enjoyably
3
00:00:17,829 –> 00:00:20,440
so that it doesn’t hurt,
4
00:00:20,449 –> 00:00:22,850
so that you can look forward to it, and feel good afterwards.
5
00:00:22,859 –> 00:00:25,360
If you are feeling down, exercise may help pick you up.
6
00:00:25,369 –> 00:00:28,650
Although researchers disagree on this issue,
7
00:00:28,659 –> 00:00:32,360
one review of past studies found that long-term exercise,
8
00:00:32,369 –> 00:00:36,740
especially when it includes long-lasting, strenuous training sessions,
9
00:00:36,749 –> 00:00:40,350
has about as much of an effect on depression as psychotherapy.
10
00:00:40,359 –> 00:00:46,800
Working out helps you deal with stress in your job, relationships or any area of life —
11
00:00:46,809 –> 00:00:53,250
possibly because exercise is a form of stress itself and helps condition your body to deal with it.
12
00:00:53,259 –> 00:01:00,150
When Australian researchers compared people who did 30 minutes of aerobic exercise three times a week
13
00:01:00,159 –> 00:01:03,420
to those who practiced progressive relaxation techniques,
14
00:01:03,429 –> 00:01:08,450
they found that the former group responded better to acute stress and had lower blood pressure.
15
00:01:08,459 –> 00:01:12,720
Even a little exercise can make you think less anxiously.
16
00:01:12,729 –> 00:01:15,670
Studies have shown that any amount of exercise,
17
00:01:15,679 –> 00:01:22,670
from a brisk 10?minute walk to an intense aerobics or weightlifting session seems to decrease feelings of anxiety.
18
00:01:22,679 –> 00:01:30,220
Working out regularly may make you smarter now and lessen the possibility that you’ll lose brain function as you age.
19
00:01:30,229 –> 00:01:37,750
According to a recent animal study at the University of Illinois, exercise can actually help the brain develop new cells.
20
00:01:37,759 –> 00:01:45,710
In several studies, regular weight training or aerobic exercise was shown to improve the quality and duration of sleep.
21
00:01:45,719 –> 00:01:51,200
Naturally, this can make you less fatigued and be able to function better during the day.
22
00:01:51,209 –> 00:01:56,780
Like meditation, hobbies or any other leisure activity,
23
00:01:56,789 –> 00:02:02,480
exercise gives your mind a needed break from everyday thoughts, responsibilities and commitments.
24
00:02:02,489 –> 00:02:06,070
Finally, there’s one more reason to keep exercising.
25
00:02:06,079 –> 00:02:10,000
When you work out regularly, your body simply functions better —
26
00:02:10,009 –> 00:02:14,830
you are better, healthier and less likely to suffer painful physical conditions.
27
00:02:14,839 –> 00:02:16,830
And that just plain feels good.
