Even if you are,there are several reasons that you should exercise. First, exercise can give you energy.When you are tired during the day and you cant study or work,dont take a nap (小睡).Take a walk or go for a run instead.Researchers looked at 70 different studies about exercise and tiredness.In the studies, people who didnt exercise started to exercise regularly.As a result,they felt less tired.They didnt feel tired during the day.Over 90 percent of the studies showed the same results: regular exercise increased energy and reduced tiredness. Second,exercise can help you sleep better.Its important to get enough sleep.Lack (缺少) of sleep is one of the main causes of stress.Exercising raises your body temperature.Your temperature goes back to normal about five to six hours after you exercise.You become sleepy at this point because the drop in temperature tells your body that its time to sleep. Also, exercise can reduce stress and anxiety.Have you ever felt nervous or stressed? Working out for 20 minutes can make you feel calm.How? When you exercise, you have to focus on your body,so you cant think about your stressful thoughts.In addition, when you exercise,your body creates a special chemical.This chemical can help your brain react to stress. Finally, studies show that exercise is good for your brain,especially your memory.Exercising makes your body create new cells in a part of the brain called the hippocampus (海马).Memory and learning happen in the hippocampus.Because of this increase in cells,exercising can improve your memory and make it easier to learn new things. Regular exercise can improve your life in so many ways. It can make you feel better, look better, and do more. So why are you sitting there reading?
