25 reasons to workout regularly and never stop

I have a friend that I have begged to come with me to the gym for a couple of months. Every night I ask the same question “So what do you say, tomorrow …”

I don’t even have to finish the sentence, and my friend knows what will follow and I can anticipate the response “I don’t think so… I don’t have time tomorrow. I am too tired. Do you thing that I want to workout after a full day of work. I don’t have the money to go to the gym, better we meet and drink something.” The reasons on the why not list are many and every day brings something new or a rehash of an old reason. Every day there are “good” reasons not to workout. So for my friend but even more for me I have compiled a list of 25 reasons why working out is great and so good for your health. All the important benefits that you get out of physical movement are in the following list:

1. You will resist stress far better if you workout

3. Physical activity improves your immunity system
4. You have a lower risk of getting a cardiovascular disease
5. It reduces the chances of getting headaches because of stress and tension
6. It helps you achieve a peaceful and restful sleep
7. It improves your sexual performances and your sexual appetite. Also it increases the chances of finding a loved one. This one is great and a whole lot of fun.
