31 Reasons To Get Physically Fit At The Y.H. Park Taekwondo Academy

February 25, 2014-There is no better time than today to make a commitment to your health and physical fitness.  Whether it is practicing the martial arts at The Y.H. Park Taekwondo Academy, or committing to any other type of exercise, you will reap countless rewards and improve the quality of your life by introducing a physical fitness component to your schedule.

So here are 31 reasons to get, or stay in great shape (written by Marc Perry, CSCS, CPT is the creator of BuiltLean based in NYC).:

1. Reduces Cholesterol ¹

Regular exercise has been proven to reduce “bad” cholesterol levels (LDL) and increase “good” cholesterol (HDL)

2. Sleep Better ²

Exercise can help you sleep better. People who exercise tend to fall asleep quicker and stay asleep longer.

3. Improves Self Esteem ³

Regardless of your body appearance, regular fitness helps improve your self-esteem.

4. Reduces Blood Pressure ⁴

Exercise not only reduces high blood pressure, it helps prevent it.

5. Decreases Back Pain ⁵

By increasing muscle strength, endurance, and improving flexibility and posture, regular exercise helps to prevent back pain. Studies show that exercise is an effective treatment for recurrent low back pain.
