We've all heard it almost countless times: exercise is good for you and therefore very important. But why is this actually the case? What makes exercise one of the best things you can do for your body in the long run? And how exactly does sustainable exercise work?
The benefits of exercise
The many benefits of exercise are the main reason for most people to ultimately opt for regular sports. Even if you might not naturally find it the most enjoyable thing to do, you eventually see people give in.
The reason for this is generally closely related to one or more of the following benefits of exercise:
· Extends your lifespan: Not many people are aware of this, but did you know that regular exercise reduces the risk of premature death by as much as 30%? That alone should be reason enough to at least pay some attention to it. In the very long term, enormous health benefits apply when it comes to exercise.
· Improves your brain function: However, it is often not the long term that convinces people, but mainly the short term. And in that respect too, exercise is enormously good for you. It improves your brain function in a large number of different areas. In the short and long term. Your memory improves, you are better able to concentrate, and the risk of dementia significantly decreases. Moreover, you feel mentally 'sharper' after a workout. It's like you've been given a few extra IQ points!
· Improves your physical health: The third and final benefit of exercise is, of course, fairly obvious. But we certainly don't want to leave it unmentioned. The physical health benefits are overwhelmingly immense. Did you know that it gives you more energy, helps you sleep better, lowers your blood pressure, strengthens your muscles and bones, reduces stress, and decreases the risk of diabetes?
These benefits of exercise have long been proven, so there's no really getting around them anymore. The only point of attention to take into account is whether you also choose to exercise sustainably.
How does sustainable exercise work?
The term "sustainable exercise" has been heard more and more often lately. At FITHLON, we are certainly aware of this.
In fact, we are fully aware of the double meaning of this term. And we choose to optimize for BOTH meanings:
#1: Environmentally responsible exercise
Sustainable exercise means environmentally responsible exercise. There are several ways to achieve this. For example, by:
- Choosing sustainable, recycled materials
- Working with sustainably produced boxes and manuals
- Actively contributing to a greener environment
- Specifically designing products with a long lifespan
Unfortunately, we see that this is not always the case in the fitness industry. That's why we at FITHLON are actively working on this every day. You can see this reflected in our working methods, our product range, and our delivery methods.
#2: Physically responsible exercise
Furthermore, we also attach great importance to the 2nd meaning of sustainable exercise. Namely, exercising in a way that you can maintain for years to come. Without having to deal with all kinds of aches and pains over time.
We ensure this in the following ways:
- Working with revolutionary, joint-friendly techniques (e.g., REFLEXtm cushioning technology)
- Offering fitness equipment with different resistance levels
- Access to extensive live data insights for responsible exercise
