See what could happen after a day, a week, a month and a year
Whether you’re a complete beginner or a “re-starter”, you must be wondering how physical activity will impact you and your health. Well, I have some good news for you. Exercising will not only change your lifestyle but will also have some interesting health benefits that you’ll see and feel on your body from head to toe.
The next question is usually ‘how long does it take to see changes in body from working out?’. You might get surprised, but the benefits of exercising will actually knock on the door from day one. But don’t be disappointed if not all of them come at once.
Increased brain function
Exercising makes the body pump more blood to the muscles. This will increases the blood flow, which is beneficial for your brain.
The minute you start exercising, your brain cells will function at a higher level. The increased blood flow to your brain will make you more alert and awake during exercising and more focused after.
Boosted Mood
As we all know exercising often comes with pain. As a response to this pain, your brain will start releasing certain types of chemicals including endorphins. Endorphins are often known as the source of euphoria and will not just kill your pain, but also boost your dedication so you’ll push harder. Once you’re done with exercising your brain will release more endorphins, which will elevate your mood for the day.
Body fat reduction
When you start moving, your body’s energy expenditure increases. The energy it burns comes primarily from glucose, which is stored in the body as glycogen. Glycogen is generated by your liver when it processes carbs. With decreased glycogen levels your body will then start turning fat and protein into glucose to help meet your increasing energy demands.
Therefore, your fat storage will be better mobilized once you start exercising and you’ll start losing body fat. But remember that if you want to maintain that body fat loss, you’ll have to keep your calories in below your calories out. A good way to hold yourself accountable and make sure you’re in a caloric deficit is by tracking your nutrition.
Day to day life benefits
As you become fitter, your daily life will also become easier. Let’s just think about a few basic examples. You’ll be able to climb stairs easier without gasping after floor 2. You’ll easily walk to the shop that’s 10 minutes from home. You won’t miss the bus if you have to run to catch it. And you’ll not need your hubby to carry your bags after grocery shopping.
Life will simply become easier, happier.
Exercising becomes a habit
Leaving the most important one to the end, working out will not feel like a chore anymore. After one year, you’ll finally start enjoying your workouts and maybe even become a little bit addicted. After seeing and feeling all the benefits, you’ll feel like wanting to go to the gym. But don’t worry, as long as it’s a healthy addiction, it’ll be for your own good!
