5 Reasons Why Your Skin Will Thank You For Exercising

Historically, women were not encouraged to engage in athletics. In fact, up until the 1970s they were pretty much banned from running in marathons and it wasn’t until the 1984 Olympics the women’s marathon became an event. But things have changed quite a bit. Yoga studios and even gyms that cater exclusively to women have been sprouting up everywhere. As everybody knows, maintaining a healthy lifestyle that includes getting enough exercise is essential, but here’s the question you might be asking: what impact does staying fit have on our skin? Turns out, there are a lot of tremendous benefits that should motivate you to continue your exercise routine! Check out the ways working out benefits your skin. 

Increases blood circulation

Why do you get up at 5am to go running on the treadmill or even in your neighborhood? It certainly isn’t to escape from scary ghosts both real and imagined, right? Or is it!? Nonsensical jokes aside, jogging helps lift your heart rate and promotes proper blood circulation. This is important because our cells need oxygen, and this is one of the most efficient ways to deliver it. And when your circulatory system is functioning at its best, your skin likewise stays healthy and glowing. In other words, it is time to buy yourself a good pair of running shoes and get your heart pumping!
