Movement is a natural part of healthy life. There are different types of exercises and many workout routines to be found all over the place – from your local gym, to local park, to big fitness events in the cities and finally internet – all trying to convince you that there is no better healer than movement. But sometimes, overwhelmed with the amount of information, we forget that movement can mean a short walk, or nice swim in the sea, or even relaxing stretch in yoga class. Not every exercise is for everyone.
Below are few good reasons why regular exercise adds to your health and happiness:
