People say it jokingly. But these “jokes” are rooted in a harmful myth: that exercise is only for weight loss.
Exercise is for everyone — no matter your body size, weight, or shape. ✅
Here’s why regular movement is actually essential:
1. Boosts Mental Health
Physical activity releases endorphins — your natural mood boosters. It reduces stress, anxiety, and improves overall emotional well-being.
2. Builds Strength and Stamina
From lifting groceries to climbing stairs — movement helps your muscles work better, making everyday life easier.
3. Improves Flexibility and Mobility
Exercises like yoga or stretching increase your range of motion, prevent stiffness, and reduce the risk of injury — especially as you age.
4. Supports Long-Term Health
Regular physical activity lowers your risk of lifestyle diseases like diabetes, heart issues, and PCOS. It’s an investment in your future self.
