Benefits of Regular Exercise
We have all been told throughout our lives that exercise is good for us. But how much do we really need to be exercising, and what does it actually do for our health? The Peninsula Chicago Spa team is here to guide you through these questions and assist you in reaching your health goals.
Depending on your goals, it is recommended to work out at least three to five times per week. The Peninsula Chicago makes this easy for you by offering weekly fitness classes as well as personal training sessions, in addition to having elite workout equipment in the 20th floor Fitness Center, such as a Tonal machine and three Peloton bikes.
Our fitness classes are designed for all age groups and levels. The smaller class format allows for a more tailored workout to focus on your individual needs. Participating in workout classes consistently allows you to build a health routine, while also connecting with other members of the community.
The benefits of working out consistently speak for themselves, from preventing illnesses to improving overall mental health and mood. Learn more about these benefits below.
1. Working out consistently combats health conditions and diseases, such as heart disease. It has been proven to reduce the risk of stroke and cancer, as well as aid in better digestion by helping your body absorb nutrients more effectively.
2. Mental function increases through exercise. Exercising helps increase the amount of oxygen being sent to your brain, which leads to improved memory and learning.
3. Working out helps to reduces stress and boosts energy. It lowers the risk of depression and anxiety.
4. Consistent exercise helps with weight loss. Exercise also aids in anti-aging by increasing blood flow and circulation which helps to flush out toxins in the body.
5. Strong muscles and bones are built and maintained through a regimented workout routine. Working out helps with osteoporosis and maintaining bone mass.
6. Exercise improves your sleep. Working out regularly in the morning or afternoon will promote better sleep by helping you fall asleep more quickly while improving the quality of your sleep.
To support you in achieving your health goals and help you earn the maximum benefits of working out consistently, The Peninsula Spa offers a yearly Spa Membership with access to the Fitness Center, fitness classes, personal trainers, and more.
