Evaluation of the Benefits of Pursuing a Hobby
Working out is a great hobby as it has numerous benefits on one’s physical and cognitive development (Warburton, Nicol & Bredin, 2006). One does not need to become a body builder, but setting time aside each day to go for a little walk, do some pull-ups or push-ups or jumping jacks—or really anything at all that gets the blood flowing and the heart pumping is good. This hobby is a great way to reduce stress (Fostering Resilience, n.d.), promote health, and help the brain. This paper will explain why working out is a terrific hobby to pursue as it has so many positive benefits for a person that they are just too many to ignore.
First off, no one will argue that the body doesn’t need maintenance. A body is like a car—one has to take care of it if one wants it to work. Nowadays most people are so busy with their jobs and careers and families and schooling that they just don’t have a lot of time to spend on routine maintenance. The last thing they want to do is more work. That is why having a hobby is such a good thing to have—it allows...

Working out gives one an opportunity to exercise in a number of different ways. There is always the gym where one can go to use a variety of exercise equipment—from treadmills to free weights. No matter where one turns, there is the opportunity in a gym to work up a sweat and get the heart pumping. This helps to improve circulation, heart health and mental health (Warburton et al., 2006). It also lets one check out for a while and burn off some of the worries and negative feelings that can accumulate throughout the day (Fostering Resilience, n.d.).
But if one does not like the gym, that’s no reason to worry. Working out does not have to be done at a gym and neither does it require a membership. There are…
Exercise has been described as the best medicine for depression. It can help a person get through rough times. Physical exercise is very important for a person's mental and physical health.

Heart rates in children may reach 220 or even 225 before puberty, but tend to fall to around 200 in their late teens, so the coach should not worry on finding such high rates in exercising youngsters." (Sharp, 1) This is a demonstration of the distinct physical response of the youth's body, justifying a framing of youth physical activity as separate, different and demanding its own specific scientific attention. This
Exercise and Pregnancy "How much, and how intensively, nurse, should I exercise over the course of my pregnancy?' A seemingly simple question -- and one a gynecological or obstetrical nurse must be prepared to answer, given that many newly pregnant women may feel more comfortable directing such queries to a nursing staff health care provider, rather than a physician. This may be particularly the case if the attending physician is male,
Wininger and Pargman (2003) state from a study he conducted involving 282 female subjects that other factors associated with exercise enjoyment are. These variables in the study were: "satisfaction with the music used in the exercise environment, satisfaction with the exercise instructor, and salience of exercise role-identity (EIS)." In Wininger and Pargman's (2003) study, the results revealed significant positive correlations between all 3 variables and exercise enjoyment. Interestingly enough, the
