Just because I exercise doesn't mean I want to loose weight. This is not only true for me but for so many people. Yes, some people do want to loose weight but a lot of people don't. They want to move without constantly being asked about their weight.
This post is for anyone who wants a reason to move that isn't tied to a fancy weight loss campaign. If you've asked "Why exercise if you/I don't want to lose weight?" here are 20 reasons why I do. Maybe one of these resonates with you too!
Moving/Exercising...
gets me out of my head.
gets me in my body.
makes me feel more focused throughout the day.
builds my arm strength!
teaches me to speak to myself in a motivating way.
energizes me for my day!
allows for me to surprise myself with what I can accomplish!
increases my stamina.
teaches me to appreciate my body!
builds my core strength (front, sides, & back).
calms me before bed.
releases unnecessary stress.
is a form of meditation.
stabilizes my joints.
makes me arrive in the present.
increases my flexibility.
is self expression!
teaches me how I approach a tough situation.
keeps my joints mobile.
is FUN!
Wow! Hit 20 pretty quickly. So fast that I had to take some out 😅
If you have a reason that you'd want to add to this list (that doesn't have to do with weight loss) let me know what it would be 💜
