We all know that exercise is good for us on a physical level, ensuring we all stay fit and healthy. But did you know that exercise can also make you a happier person?
When you exercise on a regular basis it is proven to reduce stress and improve your general wellbeing, decreasing feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress. Exercising releases endorphins, chemicals that plays a huge role in happiness, and the best way to increase endorphins is to exercise. So run, swim, lift – keep active and get happy.
No matter what your fitness level, whether you are new to the gym or simply looking to improve your fitness levels, exercising on a regular basis is proven to enhance your overall wellbeing. The moment your start running, launch into a fitness class, or dive into the swimming pool, the benefits of working out kick in. As little as 30 minutes of cardio three to five days a week can add six years to your life, according to research at the Cooper Clinic in Dallas, Texas. Add this to resistance training and it will not only help you to live longer but will also help you get stronger, feel happier, increase your energy levels, and improve your sleep.
Studies have shown that combining aerobic exercises with resistance training can maximise fat loss and muscle mass. The Kingfisher Fitness Club is an excellent facility offering everything you need to improve your fitness. The Life Fitness cardio and strength equipment allows you to interact with the LFConnect app. It tracks workouts, allows members to set workout plans, and tracks progress. Not only does the Kingfisher Fitness Club have new state-of-the-art equipment, it also offers 100 Les Mills virtual fitness classes free to members including BodyPump™, BodyBalance™, BodyCombat™, RPM™, Grit Cardio™, Grit Strength™, Grit Plyo™, and Sh’bamCxWorx™.
Swimming can sometimes be overlooked as an important form of exercise, but swimming is a great low impact workout that works your entire body without any damaging impact on joints. It is an excellent form of exercise for all ages that helps you to lose weight, improve fitness, and build muscle. The Kingfisher Fitness Club is the perfect place to get active.
