When you exercise, your body undergoes several changes, both physical and mental.

Physical Benefits of Exercise

Exercise has many physical benefits. It helps build muscle strength and endurance, increase flexibility and coordination, and burn excess calories. Regular exercise also helps reduce the risk of developing certain diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and some forms of cancer. Additionally, it can help reduce stress, improve sleep, and promote overall wellbeing.

Tips for Exercise

When you exercise, your body undergoes a variety of physiological changes in order to cope with the increased physical demand. Depending on the type of activity, your body will use different energy sources to fuel your muscles.

During anaerobic exercise (exercise that does not require oxygen) such as sprinting, your body will use carbohydrates stored in your muscles for energy, as well as anaerobic glycolysis which is the breakdown of carbohydrates to produce energy without oxygen. As you exercise, your body will also produce lactic acid, which is a by-product of anaerobic glycolysis. During aerobic exercise (exercise that requires oxygen) such as running and cycling, your body will use both carbohydrates and fat as energy sources.

Your heart rate will also increase during exercise, as it works harder to pump oxygen-rich blood around your body. This is known as your target heart rate, and it should stay within a certain range for optimal performance. In addition, your breathing rate will also increase as your body works to take in more oxygen to fuel your muscles.

Your body will also produce endorphins during exercise, which are hormones responsible for the feeling of euphoria known as a “runner’s high”. These endorphins can act as natural painkillers, reducing discomfort and fatigue during your workout.

Finally, exercise can also help to strengthen your bones and muscles, as well as improving your overall fitness. Regular exercise can help to reduce your risk of developing chronic illnesses such as heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes.
