Ever notice that when you workout, whether it’s weights and HIIT at the gym, a yoga or Pilates class, or even a jog along the lake in the city park, you not only feel better but you look better too? That’s because exercise in any form is more than just a means of shaping up. It has other distinctive advantages that all add up to making you look more beautiful from head to toe and inside out!
It smoothes skin for a radiant glow
Exercise gives us all a more brilliant appearance overall. We radiate with confidence that starts from within and makes its way outward. With the skin, pores dilate and the sweat that comes out helps move out dirt and oil. To look even more ravishing, be sure to wash your face after you’ve finished your exercise for the day to sweep those impurities away before they get drawn back into your pores.
It reduces inflammation throughout the body
Whether you have inflamed skin or inflammation in your joints, exercising through yoga or other methods will help you reduce the pains associated with them. Exercise allows for more blood flow to these areas and helps your skin look less irritated and your body feels more fluid.
It boosts collagen production
With that increased blood flow, it also flows more freely to the skin which helps your skin produce collagen which in turn gets rid of wrinkles. So keep working out because that will help you keep defying age.
It reduces your stress level
Ever look in the mirror when you feel anxious about a project at work or your stress level is over the top? Try looking in the mirror after you’ve exercised. Even a simple walk outdoors can totally drop your stress levels. You’ll see it in your face and you’ll feel it all over your body. And when you do, you will look like the weight of the world has been pulled off your shoulders.
It helps you sleep right
Sleep is another key component in looking and feeling your best. Millions of Americans have sleep issues, but the best way to combat them is to get exercise. It can help you get more restful sleep which in turn leaves you looking fresh-faced and healthy. It restores both the mind and body. Plus, you can truly unwind if you try a few restful yoga poses before heading to bed. It increases your circulation and relaxes you, allowing your mind to shut down and really rest.
Some days, it might be hard to pull out the yoga mat, lace up your running shoes, or stop at the gym after a long day at the office. But make yourself do it because once you finish your exercise, you’ll feel that euphoric and accomplished feeling that only getting the activity your body needs can give you.
