Recently, I've published several articles about how exercise can improve various parts of our lives. Each of the articles takes 60-seconds or less to read, and now I've compiled them into this list of "10 Reasons You Should Resolve to Exercise More in 2018":

Stress Relief: "The great thing about exercise is that it’s an all-natural solution with a long list of positive side effects, rather than a ton of negative ones like we see with prescription meds."
Improve Mental Function: "Regular exercise not only helps us get [more] sh!t done now, it also helps prevent serious health issues, [like Alzheimer's] from adding to our to-do list down the road."
Mend A Broken Heart [Literally & Figuratively]: not only can exercise help us through heartbreak, it "can both prevent heart disease and reverse symptoms of it".
Enhances Energy: moving "just 20-minutes a day can decrease the feeling of fatigue by 50-65%".
Helps You Sleep Better: "150-minutes of physical activity each week, [30-minutes per day, 5 days a week], improves people’s sleep quality by an average of 65%."
Prevents/Reverses Symptoms of Type II Diabetes: "Strength training each major muscle group at least twice a week is what will truly help your body improve it’s insulin sensitivity. This is something many medications for diabetics are designed to do, but strength training does it naturally."
Reduce Chronic Pain: "There are over 1.5 billion people on the planet who struggle with chronic pain... researchers have found that strength training at least twice a week is an incredibly effective way to both reduce pain and improve quality of life."
Prevents Cancer: "Fighting disease or not, prioritizing your fitness will help you lead a happier, more fulfilling life - even if 'the C-word' barges into it."
Desk Job Antidote: "A few of the risks associated with careers that keep people sitting too long include heart disease, diabetes, obesity, depression and chronic pain. We often associate these issues with aging, but the truth is that they are far more influenced by a person’s lifestyle than their age."
Lengthens Life Expectancy: "In one study, people who only achieved about half the recommended amount of physical activity on a weekly basis still gained years to their life expectancy that their inactive counterparts did not - almost 2 years to be exact."

Make 2018 the year that you invest in your health and wellness. Remember! This investment isn't selfish - it can save your loved ones from the burdens and heartbreak of poor health too. Make 2018 your year to B Strong, B Well, B Bold!
