Ways Exercise Can Help

Exercise makes us feel great. No matter what kind of exercise it is, getting outside and being active start to make us feel young again. There have been studies done on mice that have shown that their organs begin to look healthier as soon as they start an exercise routine. This goes for humans as well. With this new year upon us, start a small exercise routine each day. You don't have to go the gym, you can simply walk around your block. Get outside and discover just how great exercise makes you feel. 

 There are also facial exercises and yoga that you can do to help tighten the skin on your face. Doing facial exercises can help your skin by strengthening it. Moving your face muscles is key when it comes to producing more collagen in your skin. The more collagen that we have in our face, the younger we will look and our skin will start to look healthier. You can do these facial exercises anywhere and at anytime. You can even do them at work! A few exercises to try for your face are simple and you don't have to worry about looking silly. 

One facial exercise is called the cheeky face. In your chair, make sure that you are sitting as straight as you can. Inhale very deeply and push your cheeks out as far as you can. You will look like a blow fish, so don't panic. Move the air from your left cheek to your right. Keep doing this for about 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat this action about 10 times. 

Another exercise that you can do for your face is called the surprise. It sounds the way it looks too. If you know what a surprised face looks like, this one should be easy for you. Raise your eyebrows as high as you can and open your mouth as wide as you can. Hold this face for about 5 seconds and do this exercise about ten times. This will help to tighten the skin around your eyes and forehead,.

In this new year, it is time to work as hard as you can to look great! Exercising is a great way to start!
