Lets get fit at Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel Fitness Center

Hello readers,

Ramadan has passed and I am back with my exercise routine. I started exercising at mid 20's. Started with jogging at 'taman' with my small Aiman (at that time), followed by aerobics through CDs that I bought, I did it alone at the comfort of my own home and enhanced it by joining an exercise studio.

Exercise is more than just toning your abs, sexy body shape or weight loss. Other benefits of exercise that you should know :-

• Grow your brain cells - exercise increases level of brain-derived protein which help to form new brain cells. It helps to improve overall brain performances, believes to help with decision making, higher thinking and learning.
• Reduce stress - working out help manage physical and mental stress. It increases concentrations of norepinephine, a chemical that can moderate the brain's response to stress. Feeling tired after a long day at work? Do not give up. Get your outfit ready and sweat your body. Push yourself to a limit and enjoy your stress-free mind after the exercise. Win-Win!
• Boost your mood/treat depression - Humans are the best creation by God. God created us perfectly with various emotions. Uncontrolled sadness, frustration, anger, dissatisfaction can lead us to a situation call depression. I was in such a situation before. The best reward I can give myself is Love. Exercise release mood-enhancing chemicals called endorphin. Endorphin are considered natural painkillers because it activates the receptors in the brain which minimize discomfort. Endorphin is a natural morphine. Treat your depression in a natural way i.e. through exercise. Show some love to yourself by doing exercise. Your body will appreciate it!
