7 BENEFITS OF REGULAR EXERCISE

I love spring. For me it's the newness of life and the promise of summer to come.

Signs of new life are showing all around. Tulips and daffodils are emerging, robins are hopping looking for worms, buds are forming on the trees and the grass is starting to turn green.

Whether you spend time walking the dog, going for a jog, or gardening you are going to feel better, combat chronic disease and help you manage your weight.

According to the Mayo Clinic there are 7 benefits of regular exercise. They include:

1. Improves your mood
   
2. Combats chronic disease
3. Helps you manage your weight
   
4. Strengthens your heart and lungs
5. Promotes better sleep
6. Can put the spark back in your sex life
7. Can be - gasp - fun!
   

So... phone up a friend and go for a walk. Walk to the grocery store, post office or to the coffee shop to catch up.
