Movement is Medicine, Go Get Your Dose!
By Kritika Chatterjee, Coach, Fittr
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to neglect the most fundamental aspect of our well-being – movement. We often hear that “movement is medicine,” but do we truly understand its importance?
Physical Benefits of Moving Every Day
Incorporating daily movement into your routine has countless physical benefits, such as:
👉 Improved Blood Circulation:
It keeps your heart healthy and improves cardiovascular performance.
👉Enhanced Flexibility and Mobility:
Regular movement helps maintain a range of motion in your joints.
👉Strengthens Muscles and Bones:
Exercise builds muscle mass and strengthens your bones, preventing conditions like osteoporosis.
👉 Supports Weight Management:
It helps burn calories, contributing to maintaining or losing weight.
👉Boosts Immunity:
Regular physical activity enhances immune function, keeping you healthier.
Mental and Emotional Benefits
Movement isn’t just about physical gains; it’s equally beneficial for your mind and emotions:
👉 Reduces Stress and Anxiety:
Exercise lowers cortisol levels, helping you manage stress better.
👉 Releases Endorphins:
Physical activity triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural mood boosters.
👉Improves Sleep Quality:
A consistent exercise routine promotes better sleep patterns.
👉 Increases Energy Levels:
Paradoxically, spending energy on movement actually boosts your overall energy.
👉 Sharpens Cognitive Function:
Regular movement can enhance focus and mental clarity.
Remember, even the smallest dose of movement counts. Whether it’s a 10-minute walk or a quick stretch, it can prevent joint stiffness, aid digestion, and improve your sense of well-being.
So, find joy in moving! Whether it’s a workout session, a dance class, or a brisk walk, schedule it into your daily life. Start small and build up. Your body and mind will thank you for it!
