TRAINING

Fitness training is becoming an ever more popular pastime. You yourself may attend fitness classes three or four times a week, maybe after work or at the weekends. For many it has become customary to to participate in regular fitness training without actually thinking about the benefits of such activities?

One benefit is that fitness training can increase your energy levels. When you exercise your heart has to work harder to pump blood around your body. Over time the strength of your heart will increase and it will be able to pump more blood and provide more energy to your body when needed.

Fitness training can also improve the overall appearance of your body. Even if you are targeting specific areas, you will notice improvements in other parts of your body also. For example, if you are focussing on your abdominal muscles you are likely to tone your thighs also with exercises such as leg raises.

Apart from physical benefits, fitness training can also have mental benefits. There are a number of theories behind how physical exercise can improve your brain. Some suggest that the discipline that comes from sticking to a training schedule helps you organise your mind. Others believe that when you exercise you empty your mind of all life’s stresses and worries, which makes it easier to focus. Physical exercise has also been associated with a feeling of happiness and relaxation. This feeling has been related with exercise triggering the release of additional chemicals (some believe endorphins, others believe anandamide).
