Exercise for a Purpose

     General fitness exercising is great and important for your body, but there are plenty of different exercises that can help fix fitness problems for the individual.  
      Yoga is a perfect form of exercise that will increase flexibility.  Not only will your flexibility benefit, but it also helps prevent soreness.  The stretching of the muscles is also very relaxing.  Most people find mental relaxation during and after a yoga session.  For college students, it makes walking to class easier, and for adults, it makes walking to or at work easier on your body.  After doing a yoga session you also feel more mobile, athletic, and confident in your body.
     Running is generally the first thing you think of when you hear the word exercise.  Running is a nice way to get your mind off of something stressful, which will relax you to some extent.  You burn a lot of calories when you participate in a running exercise, therefore it helps increase your heart rate and metabolism.  Also, running increases your senses.  After a nice jog or running session you are more awake and alert.
      The best example of exercising for a purpose is weight lifting.  With weight training, you can focus on the parts of the body that you need strengthened for other physical activities.  Others just find pleasure in the tightness or soreness of the post-workout.  But the most common reason for lifting weights is the boost of confidence in one's body. 
     All exercises make you feel better about you appearance and increases the confidence in your body.  Confidence in your body leads to more energy.  When you start stressing about the appearance of your body, you start dragging and feeling badly for yourself.  Therefore, exercising can help make each day on this earth a little better for you.
