There is usually a main motivator for the human race to exercise … to lose the body fat. This is great motivation, to feel confident at the beach, to impress your friends and sometimes even because we’ve been told it’s unhealthy to be overweight, we should exercise and we are doing as we are told. These 5 benefits of exercise you might not have considered before and may just give you the motivation to keep at it, do more or even give your clients the motivation to just turn up!

 

1. MAKE MORE MONEY Did you know that regular exercise can actually land you a better income? Studies show that people that exercise are more likely to make more money than those that don’t. How is that you might ask … Exercise makes you more confident.

5.
