Regular exercise provides numerous health benefits. It improves skin health by increasing blood flow and nourishing skin cells. Exercise boosts mood by causing the release of endorphins which reduce pain and induce feelings of euphoria. The brain benefits from exercise through improved circulation, which delivers more oxygen and nutrients while removing waste products. Regular physical activity also aids memory, concentration, learning ability and reasoning skills. Exercise strengthens muscles and bones by placing mechanical stress that stimulates bone- and muscle-building cells.

3. BENEFITS OF REGULAR EXERCISE
➢There are many benefits to regular exercise, here are some of them:
∞Skin
∞Brain: Memory, Concentration
∞Mood
∞Stress
∞Muscles
∞Bones
➢Exercising regularly is very important. There isn’t any point complaining that you
didn’t get the benefits if you haven’t been exercising regularly

4. REGULAR EXERCISE
➢To maintain a basic level of health, children and young people aged 5 to 18 need to
do:
• at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day – this should
range from moderate activity, such as cycling and playground
activities, to vigorous activity, such as running and tennis
• on three days a week, these activities should involve exercises for strong
muscles , such as push-ups, and exercises for strong bones, such as jumping
and running
➢It can reduce your risk of major illnesses, such as heart disease, stroke, type 2
diabetes and cancer by up to 50% and lower your risk of early death by up to 30%.
➢Children and young people should reduce the time they spend sitting watching TV,
playing computer games and travelling by car when they could walk or cycle instead.
➢There are three types of exercises: Aerobic, Anaerobic and Flexibility

5. HOW EXERCISING HELPS OUR SKIN
➢Our skin is the largest living organ of the body and it’s the one that everyone gets to
look at. It becomes part of our identity, part of our uniqueness and something that
we need to take care of every single day.
➢By increasing blood flow, exercise helps nourish skin cells and keep them vital.
Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to working cells throughout the body, including
the skin. In addition to providing oxygen, blood flow also helps carry away waste
products, including free radicals, from working cells.
➢Contrary to some claims, exercise doesn't detoxify the skin. The job of neutralizing
toxins belongs mostly to the liver. But by increasing blood flow, exercise helps flush
cellular debris out of the system.

SKIN

7. HOW EXERCISING HELPS OUR MOOD
➢Improved self-esteem is a key psychological benefit of regular physical activity.
When you exercise, your body releases chemicals called endorphins.
➢These endorphins interact with the receptors in your brain that reduce your
perception of pain.
➢Endorphins also trigger a positive feeling in the body, similar to that of morphine.
For example, the feeling that follows a run or workout is often described as
"euphoric."
➢That feeling, known as a "runner's high," can be accompanied by a positive and
energizing outlook on life.
➢Endorphins act as analgesics, which means they diminish the perception of pain.
They also act as sedatives.
➢They are manufactured in your brain, spinal cord, and many other parts of your
body and are released in response to brain chemicals called neurotransmitters.

9. HOW EXERCISING HELPS OUR BRAIN :
IMPROVED CIRCULATION
➢Physical exercise helps the brain by increasing the flow of blood, which delivers vital
oxygen and glucose to the brain while carrying away waste products.
➢Exercise that increases the heart rate, like running or cycling, also helps to pump
even more oxygen and glucose to the brain. Physical exercise has even been shown
to stimulate the growth of cerebral blood vessels.
➢Physical exercise also stimulates the brain’s synapses by preserving the number of
acetylcholine receptors found at the junction of muscle and nerve.
➢Active people have more receptors in their brains than inactive people.

11. HOW EXERCISING HELPS OUR BRAIN : MEMORY
➢Even moderate physical exercise, such as walking, can also boost memory
functions, learning and the ability for abstract reasoning.
➢It’s unclear how this works, but improved oxygenation and nutrition for the brain
are thought to be primary factors.
➢Mental exercise helps the brain function better.
➢As with any skill, the more mental challenges you take on, the better your brain will
become. Word games, mathematics, and games of skill and strategy all help boost
your brain’s fitness.

13. HOW EXERCISING HELPS OUR BRAIN:
CONCENTRATION
➢Aerobic exercise- and you need to get your heart rate up- also leads directly, and
immediately to improved focus and concentration.
➢Following a half hour of strenuous exercise, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
works harder to resist distracters and performance on tests of attention improves.
➢Studies also show that immediately following exercise, problem solving, memory,
and attention improve.
➢Regular, sweaty exercise helps us think better by stimulating new brain cell growth,
increasing connections between cells, and improving attention.
➢By exercising you are using up the hyper-energy in you and helps you concentrate
and focus on work/studies etc.
➢

15. HOW EXERCISING HELPS OUR BONES
➢Bones are living tissue. Weight-bearing physical activity causes new bone tissue to form,
and this makes bones stronger. Certain cells called osteoblasts constantly bring calcium
into bones to make them stronger and osteoclasts take calcium from bones.
➢Exercise increases the rate that osteoblasts strengthen bones. Inactivity slow osteoblastic
activity to weaken bones. So any exercise that places force on a bone will strengthen that
bone.
➢Regular exercise is vital at every age for healthy bones, exercise is important for treating
and preventing osteoporosis.
➢Not only does exercise improve your bone health, it also increases muscle strength,
coordination, and balance, and it leads to better overall health.
➢Young women and men who exercise regularly generally achieve greater peak bone mass
(maximum bone density and strength) than those who do not.

17. HOW EXERCISING HELPS OUR MUSCLES
➢Your muscular system is made up of tissues, which contract to control your joint
movements.
➢Exercise improves your muscular system by enhancing the way your muscles work
with other body systems, such as your cardiovascular and neurological systems.
➢In working your muscular system through exercise, you can also improve your
appearance by toning your muscles and altering your body composition.
➢Your muscles need blood and oxygen to remove cellular waste and produce energy
for physical activity.
➢Exercising improves your muscular system with repetitive muscle contractions, such
as flexing your legs while walking on the treadmill or flexing your arms while lifting
weights.
➢The blood and oxygen flowing into your muscles increases and decreases each time
your muscles relax and contract, respectively, during exercise,
