This page will feature reasons why people should try physical activity

"Physical activity does not just give you better physical health. You will find that your mental health will also improve because you will be able to think more freely and not feel overwhelmed or hostile."

Paul Gullio

"People should not be intimidated by the images of professional bodybuilders. Even though they can build muscle almost effortlessly, the reality is that they use pharmaceutical help to make those gains. The average person will have to work out for a decade to gain that kind of size."

Jeff Doyle

I enjoy going to the gym because the exercises I perform are usually fun to do and the feeling of euphoria after a good workout is one of the most addictive parts of going to the gym.

Jesse Houweling

Everyone can enjoy the benefits of physical activity. The benefits of being physically active are decreased stress levels, a better feeling of vitality, increased self confidence and being active acts as a prevention to various skeletal and cardiovascular problems.

The movements that people perform in a weightroom or aerobics class are not as boring as they sound. They may sound difficult, but if you watch people perform them, they look fun to do. The movements I enjoy most at the gym involve using many different muscle groups, like the powerclean.

"The best part of being physically active for me, is the fact that I become much more relaxed and less anxious after a hard workout. It helps me deal with all the stresses encountered throughout the week."

Ty Mayer

Regular physical activity prevents:

- mayocardial infarctions

- strokes

- atherosclerosis

- arteriosclerosis

- hypertension

For the family that wants to be physically active try enrolling your kids in swimming lessons at the local recreation center while mom and dad try aerobics, weight training or racquetball.

This is what happens to arteries when a person disregards their health.

Note how they become built up with plaque.
