Physical exercise is manual activity that develops or maintains physical fitness and overall health. It is often practiced to strengthen muscles and the cardiovascular system, and to hone athletic skills. Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune system, and helps prevent diseases of affluence such as heart disease, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity. It also improves mental health and helps prevent depression. ~Wikipedia

If you’re looking to burn fat and tone those muscles, why not try a workout video from the library? We have lots of them for free! Not only will your muscles, bones, joints, and immune system improve, but your brain will benefit too. Long term exercise is beneficial to the brain by:

• increasing the blood and oxygen flow to the brain
• increasing growth factors that help create new nerve cells and promote synaptic plasticity
• increasing chemicals in the brain such as dopamine, glutamate, norepinephrine and serotonin that help cognition ~Wikipedia

Wow, what great information! Whether you want to be a fabulously fit mom, a dancin’ granny, a karate kid, a Billy Blank tai-bo-er, a knock-out husband, a yoga diva, buff on the beach, or a pilates stretcher, we have a video for you and it’s free to check out with a library card!
