What does the word ‘sexy’ imply? Right from the silver screen to online space, we are bombarded with a million concepts and ideas of being sexy. And then there are brands that sell you their version of sexy. Sexy is actually a state of mind. It is being confident, strong and living with mental and physical well-being. Looking good and feeling healthy definitely impacts your attitude, self-esteem, confidence and your emotional strength.
Being sexy is being assertive and taking efforts to look good, live clean and being fiercely proud of your efforts towards maintaining physical fitness. It is the new mantra to lead a fit & healthy life inspite of being part of the millennials race. These are the kind of people who demonstrate their looks and attitude with self-assurance. Well and they should, because it does take a lot of self-discipline and self-motivation. A regular fitness regime makes you look smarter and younger. Here are ways, to know why you should and how you can adopt this health mantra:
Chain reaction for brain development
Exercise increases the level of irisin hormone (also known as the fat-fighting hormone) in the blood which then increases the brain derived neurotrophic factor or BDNF and activates the cognitive genes. While stress and anxiety cause loss of neurons, BDNF fosters growth of neurons in the brain thus enhancing the brain health.
No excuses to avoid exercise
Physical fitness strengthens your muscles, keeps your weight under control and reduces stress. Just the success of being disciplined and sticking to the exercise plan brings a sense of accomplishment. Plus this is the time you devote to yourself completely. A regular exercise routine, be it swimming, cardio or running will boost your energy levels, tone the muscles and help you develop a robust body structure.
Age no-bar
There is no particular age to look sexy and healthy. You can start at any point in life. The key is to adapt physical fitness as a routine, like having lunch. Obviously with age, your body will go through changes, but grey hair, sturdy physique, sharp intellect and an energetic soul are signs of aging with grace. This will also help you protect against ailments and diseases that come with age, like Arthritis or Alzheimer’s.
Take up an activity or sport
If walking or gym work-out gets too boring, pick up any activity that you might enjoy. Activities like zumba, bokwa, cross-fit are trending forms of high-intensity training that can be combined with dance and music along with a rigorous session. It will not only help you maintain weight but also increase stamina, coordination, flexibility, agility and endurance. Activities like swimming and cycling are enjoyable and work-out all body muscles. Varying and combining different forms of fitness activities will take away the boredom and help you maintain consistency.
Sexy is more to do with what you perceive about yourself than what others make you believe and physical fitness will make you feel beautiful and attractive. It is a continuous process of refining your state of mind, physical well-being and enhancing your intellect.
