Bethany Kludt is a fitness buff who is dedicated to
staying in-shape and remaining active. She has been blessed with parents who didn’t discourage her
from being active outside of the home. She has many
years of experience in gymnastics and was
participating in the sport from the age of 3 until middle school. In high
school she was active in golf, diving, and cheering.
Staying healthy and fit is shown to improve one’s overall mood.
According to MayoClinic.org, working out at a gym or in
another way, such as participating in a round of golf or a competitive bike ride, can give you an emotional lift. In
fact, their research has shown that physical activity stimulates
certain brain chemicals that might promote happiness and
relaxation.
• Staying active also boosts energy and makes it less likely for one to become winded by doing everyday tasks like household chores or going grocery shopping. Yes, regular activity does require a certain level of commitment, but isn’t your health worth it? Your heart and lungs working more efficiently can provide you with more energy to go about your daily life with ease.
• When it comes to staying active and fit, the motivation for many to jump on the ‘bandwagon’, so to speak (at least initially), is often to control their weight. Indeed, exercise is effective in preventing excess weight-gain as well as maintaining weight loss, according to MayoClinic.com.
• Staying active throughout the day can be just as beneficial as doing an actual workout and may be as simple as taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
