5.#4 Regular Exercise Boosts Your Energy

Exercise shouldn’t make you tired. It should be something that you do each day that leaves you feeling good both physically and mentally. In fact, exercise forces your body to create more energy. Literally.

Your cells create more mitochondria; they’re the little organelles that create energy in your cells. The more aerobic exercise you enjoy, exercise that uses oxygen to create energy, the more mitochondria your body makes. It actually creates more available energy.

Example of Exercises that Create Energy

Want to receive maximum energy benefits? Enjoy low to moderate intensity exercises. For example, yoga is a low intensity exercise, as is golf or hula hooping. Housework also falls under the category of “low intensity” exercise but it’s not much fun.

Tip – Try to find a handful of moderate or low intensity exercises to enjoy. For example, attend yoga three days a week and walk the otherfour days.
