Exercise
Maintaining optimal health can greatly reduce your overall healthcare cost. Here are some benefits of regular exercise.
Exercise controls weight
Exercise combats health conditions and diseases
Exercise improves mood
The first thing that comes to mind when we think of the benefits of regular exercise is of course maintaining an ideal weight. Exercise can help prevent weight gain or help maintain weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn.
Regular trips to the gym are great, but don’t worry if you can’t find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none at all. To reap the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day — take the stairs instead of the elevator or rev up your household chores. Consistency is key.

Worried about heart disease? Hoping to prevent high blood pressure? No matter what your current weight is, being active boosts high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the “good” cholesterol, and it decreases unhealthy triglycerides. This one-two punch keeps your blood flowing smoothly, which decreases your risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Regular exercise helps prevent or manage many health problems and concerns, including:
- Stroke
- Metabolic syndrome
- High blood pressure
- Type 2 diabetes
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Many types of cancer
- Arthritis
- Falls
It can also help improve cognitive function and helps lower the risk of death from all causes.
Need an emotional boost? Or need to blow off some steam after a long day? A gym session or brisk walk can help. Exercise stimulates brain chemicals that can leave you feeling happier, more relaxed and lower anxiety.
You may also love how you look and yourself when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem.

Does grocery shopping or household chores leave you pooped? Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance.
Exercise delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and helps your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. And when your heart and lung health improve, you have more energy to tackle daily chores.

Struggling to fall or stay asleep at night? Regular exercise can help you fall asleep faster, get better sleep and deepen your sleep. Just don’t exercise too close to bedtime, or you may be too energized to go to sleep.
Exercise and physical activity can be enjoyable. It gives you a chance to unwind, enjoy the outdoors or simply engage in activities that make you happy. Physical activity can also help you connect with family or friends in a fun social setting.
So take a dance class, hit the hiking trails or join a soccer team. Find a physical activity you enjoy, and just do it. Bored? Try something new, just keep moving!

What if we told you exercise can help you save money? It’s true — exercise can actually lower your medical bills. A study conducted by the American Heart Association found that exercising does lower your healthcare costs — and by thousands of dollars. Investing in strength gains, weight loss and healthy physical goals can save you money, too. Curious as to how exercise lowers medical bills? Keep reading.
The study found that regularly exercising individuals with heart-disease had lower health care costs than those who did not meet the exercise guidelines. People with cardiovascular disease lowered their medical bills by an average $2500 a year if they followed a consistent exercising routine. Individuals without heart disease and a risk factor of one saved around $500 a year in healthcare costs, as well. There is no better prescription than regular exercise if you want to age healthy, avoid severe chronic diseases and more importantly, to limit the financial burden of paying too much for your health care.

The bottom line on exercise
Exercise and physical activity are great ways to feel better, boost your health, save money and have fun. For most healthy adults, the Department of Health and Human Services recommends:
- At least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic activity, or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity. The guidelines suggest that you spread this exercise throughout the week. Examples include running, walking or swimming. Even small amounts of physical activity are helpful, and accumulated activity throughout the day adds up to provide health benefits.
- Strength training exercises for all major muscle groups at least two times a week. Examples include lifting free weights, using weight machines or doing body-weight training.
Spread your activities throughout the week. If you want to lose weight, meet specific fitness goals or get even more benefits, you may need to ramp up your moderate aerobic activity to 300 minutes or more a week.
Remember to check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program, especially if you have any concerns about your fitness, haven’t exercised for a long time, have chronic health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes or arthritis.
