How exercise can make you a bad ass

Whether you’re a workout junkie or a newbie, exercise can definitely make you a bad ass in a couple of ways.

First. “Exercising regularly can improve your mood and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression.”*

Second. “Engaging in regular physical activity can increase your energy levels. This is true even in people with persistent fatigue and those suffering from serious illnesses.”*

Third. “Regular physical activity, regardless of whether it is aerobic or a combination of aerobic and resistance training, can help you sleep better and feel more energized during the day.”*

Fourth. “Engaging in regular exercise can strengthen the cardiovascular system, improve blood circulation, tone muscles and enhance flexibility, all of which can improve your sex life.”*

Fifth. “Regular exercise helps prevent or manage a wide range of health problems and concerns, including stroke, metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, depression, anxiety, many types of cancer, arthritis and falls. It can also help improve cognitive function and helps lower the risk of death from all causes.”**

Sixth. Last but not the least. It definitely makes you look like a bad ass if you stick with it.
