Where, this increases the risk of certain illnesses such as: type 2 diabetes and hypertension. (Frontera, 2006, pg. 101) This is significant, because it shows how exercise is used for a variety a reasons. While they are basically the same (to improve / maintain health), the fact of the matter is, that each person has different motivations as to why they are exercising.
A second reason why people are exercising is: to see improved cardiovascular circulation. This reduces the risks of: stroke, heart disease, and other cardiovascular problems. (Frontera, 2006, pg. 100) As it has been proven by research, that exercise keeps blood vessels "young" and it prevents the arteries from becoming clogged. At the same time, this helps to improve blood circulation, as it increases HDL cholesterol production (good cholesterol). This in turn, reduces and removes LDL (bad cholesterol) from the arteries, thereby negating the buildup of plaque, which could block them (leading to a stroke or heart attack). (Goodger, B. 2005, pg, 41). This is important, because it shows how exercise can help improve the underlying levels of health in all individuals. As result, this is biggest reason why everyone will exercise, as they want to improve / maintain this in some way.
Conclusion
Clearly, there are a wide variety of reasons as to who chooses to exercise and why. In some cases, the individual will do so because of personal choices such as: improving health, enjoyment and socialization....
At the same time, some individuals will exercise as part of their career. These distinctions are important, because they will play a part of an interconnected role, influencing the underlying motivations as to why someone will exercise. As each individual will have their own personal / career related reasons. In some cases, they could involve exercising out of necessity, where the person has no choice. Yet beyond this fact, the main motivation why most people engage in physical activity is to improve their underlying levels of health. At the same time, there are a host of different reasons as to why someone will exercise the most notable include: weight control and improved circulation. These two elements are important, because they highlight the underlying health benefits that someone will receive from exercise itself. When you put these different elements together, this shows that there are a wide variety of individuals who exercise and reasons why. This is important, because it highlights how specific individual factors will play a major role, in determining who will exercise. However, at the end of the day one of the indirect and direct reasons why everyone exercises, is because of improved health benefits. In many ways, one could argue that this is the biggest factor affecting who will choose to exercise and who will not.
