Regular workouts are a challenge for many. Often, we look for a million reasons not to be regular in the gym. “It’s too far away”, “The weather sucks”, “My card is expired”, “I just want to relax”. Do we need to keep going, or have we already bought into some of these? In the following lines, we give you a few minutes of motivation time. Forget the excuses!
Physical activity triggers changes in the parts of the brain responsible for stress and worry, as well as stimulating serotonin production. In addition, it also helps produce unicorphins, which in turn bring us a positive feeling and change the perception of pain.
In an extremely busy routine, when you’re bouncing from task to task all day, a quick workout after work or even on your lunch break can greatly improve your productivity and efficiency.
A study among 24 women diagnosed with depression put on an exercise program showed a significant reduction in depression levels.
If research isn’t enough for you, we’re sure you’ll feel even happier when we remind you that you can visit all Next Level clubs with your Multisport card! And if you just feel like relaxing – unwind in the sauna. You have access to it too.
Working out is a real energy booster even for people who claim to feel chronic fatigue or suffer from other ailments. In fact, working out in the gym handles the condition of chronic fatigue better than a number of other treatments such as passive therapies, relaxation, and medication therapies.
Let’s not forget the fact that physical activity positively affects the lungs and heart. Aerobic exercise brings oxygen into the body intensively, thus stimulating the proper functioning of the lungs and the whole body. The heart, in turn, pumps more blood, delivering oxygen to the working muscles. Regular exercise makes the heart and lungs work more efficiently. This is also the reason why, over time, you feel more and more enjoyable at workouts and don’t get out of breath.
Give your body and mind an energy bomb, get in the gym!
You read about the work of the heart and hormones above, right? More pumped blood also brings oxygen to your brain, which stimulates brain cell growth.
As we age, changes occur in the structure and function of this most important organ that can cause memory problems. Various studies report that regular exercise slows these processes and even stimulates the centers in the brain that are responsible for learning and retaining information.
Regular workouts make you sleep better, longer and fall asleep faster. About 4 times faster. Going to bed even after just a short walk or some stretching ensures a more pleasant experience in the realm of Morpheus.
And if you don’t feel like sleeping, we have more good news for you! Physical activity also improves performance in bed. Your body becomes more flexible and strong, your blood circulates more intensely, you produce more hormones and feel more pleasure. Regular visits to the gym increase libido in women and help men cope with erectile dysfunction.
Improve these and at least as many other elements in your quality of life with just… one Multisport card. Test your willpower and get in the gym. And remember – we stop not when we get tired, but when we reach our goal!
