Aerobic activities boost cardiovascular endurance—your ability to continuously perform a repetitive exercise or movement. As a result, the heart, lungs and circulatory system all work more efficiently. You have more stamina and can carry out everyday activities with less effort. You also reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

Advances in technology have lengthened the time we sit and stay inactive.

According to an American Cancer Society study, prolonged leisure-time sitting (defined as 6 or more hours a day) leads to a 19% higher risk of death from cancer, heart disease and all other causes combined.

CHOLESTEROL Exercise can reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and total cholesterol in the blood and increase good cholesterol (HDL).

BLOOD PRESSURE Regular physical activity helps strengthen the heart so it pumps blood with less effort, resulting in decreased force on the arteries.

BODY WEIGHT Regular exercise burns calories, promoting weight loss when coupled with a moderate diet.

INSULIN SENSITIVITY Research findings reported by the National Institutes of Health show that regular physical activity reduces the risk of insulin resistance, which can lead to higher blood sugar levels and ultimately prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.
