This isn\u2019t a \u201cget out of the gym free pass.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, here are the main reasons why you&#8217;ll want to stay active:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1 Increased Metabolism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metabolism includes everything our bodies do to function, including burn calories. Those with a naturally higher metabolism are often envied, but the good news is exercise can help everyone can ramp up their metabolism. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With regular workouts, especially strength training, you\u2019ll build more muscle \u2014 and muscle needs a lot of energy to maintain. More than fat cells. This is awesome because it means you\u2019ll continue burning more calories even after your workout is finished!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So even if you keep eating the exact same thing, your body will respond to it and metabolize it better if you\u2019re staying active. For best results, incorporate two types of exercise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><b>Aerobic exercise<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (cardio), especially intervals that switch between high and low intensity \u2014 great for the super busy woman. <\/span><\/li><li><b>Strength training<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with weights or body weight.<\/span><\/b><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, besides benefiting your metabolism and muscles, exercise is also good for you bones and heart!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2 Improved Mood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a reason we feel better after a good workout: physical activity can stimulate chemicals in your brain that help you feel happier and more relaxed. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, getting more fit and toned can increase your self-confidence and self-esteem, which is of course a great mood booster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" src=\"http:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/4-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/4-1.png 940w, https:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/4-1-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/4-1-768x644.png 768w, https:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/4-1-250x210.png 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3 More Energy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By sending more nutrients and oxygen to your body\u2019s tissues, exercise can help improve your heart and lung health \u2014 making it easier to power through daily work and chores. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This increase in energy can extend into so many areas of your life, including physical intimacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4 Better, Deeper Sleep<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All the above points will help with eating adherence, but this one especially. Issues like sugar cravings and mindless snacking are more likely to take place when you\u2019re tired. You\u2019re busy and your day is packed, so you need your rest when finally powering down for the night. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just imagine how great it will feel when you\u2019ve given your heart and muscles some love through exercise. Everything will be even more ready to drift into a more restful sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" src=\"http:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/6-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/6-1.png 940w, https:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/6-1-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/6-1-768x644.png 768w, https:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/6-1-250x210.png 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5 Exercise Helps Prevent Disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the above reasons haven\u2019t convinced you to say \u201cyes\u201d to exercise, here are some ways it can improve your health in the same way as diet:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boosts HDL \u201cgood\u201d cholesterol and decreases bad triglycerides, lowering your risk of cardiovascular diseases<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can help manage conditions like metabolic syndrome, stroke, depression, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, and even some cancers<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So to sum up, simply changing how you eat is not enough for the results you want. Exercise has a legitimate place in your health and weight loss plan, and you won\u2019t regret making it a regular part of your routine \u2014 along with your healthy diet! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong><em>Quite simply, everything will just start to feel better when you regularly exercise. <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find out more about how I help driven professional women make exercise a priority and get their health back <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/vip-online-coaching\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are still many benefits to engaging in regular movement and exercise for your health and wellness, even if you\u2019re &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"5 Reasons You STILL Need to Exercise \u2014 Even if You&#8217;re Eating Well\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/5-reasons-need-exercise-even-youre-eating-well\/#more-2301\" aria-label=\"Read more about 5 Reasons You STILL Need to Exercise \u2014 Even if You&#8217;re Eating Well\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2861,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"5 reasons you need to exercise even if you&#039;re eating well","_seopress_titles_desc":"There are still many benefits to engaging in regular movement and exercise for your health and wellness, even if you\u2019re eating a healthy diet.","_seopress_robots_index":"","ub_ctt_via":"","kk_blocks_editor_width":"","_kiokenblocks_attr":"","_kiokenblocks_dimensions":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/fb-post-blog-5.png","author_info":{"display_name":"Rosie Moore","author_link":"https:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/author\/rosiemooregmail-com\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2301"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2301"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2301\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2861"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosiemoore.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
