mood. Also, more intense exercise can stimulate the release of mood elevating
compounds called endorphins.

prone to heart disease, as you have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. You
can improve your cardiovascular function if you partake in exercise.

• Improvement to memory – If you exercise more regularly, you move blood
and oxygen to all your body’s organs, including the brain, which is great for
revitalising your mind.

• Reduced risk of Diabetes – Physically active people are less likely to develop
Diabetes, as exercise increases the body’s ability to use sugar for energy and
thereby decreases the need for insulin.

• Other benefits include: - Improved sleep pattern, increased strength,
improved energy level, pain relief, longevity and increased bone density.
