This weeks post is from our guest author LaTonya Baruc from Baruc Fitness.
Fall is that time of year when the temperature goes from scorching hot to cool and comfortable. We begin to make changes to our wardrobe – scarves and sweaters play an important role. The smell of pumpkin-spiced lattes fills the air and comfort food fills our plates.
This is fall, but did you know that this is also the perfect time of the year to set new fitness goals? Here’s why…
Give your immune system a boost 
Whether you are walking outside or running on the treadmill in your basement, when you take part in regular physical activity it improves the efficiency of your circulation and your blood flow throughout your body. When your FLOW increases the components of your immune system are also better circulated. Your body is more likely to fight off potential illnesses because of proper flow to the systems of the body.
Get your head on straight
Ever heard of the saying, “the early bird gets the worm?” Why does the early bird get the worm? No, it’s not a riddle. This is what makes the early bird special. It gets up early, plans for the day and executes before the other birds open their eyes.
These are the benefits of getting up earlier to work out.
- your mind is more clear about your goals
- your thoughts are more focused
- you have more energy to execute your plans before everything else takes up a spot on your to-do list.
I See Growth
Not only does an increase in circulation help cleanse and nourish the body, and improve your immune system, this is also a great way to grow beautiful hair and nails. As your circulation improves and increases, the blood delivers nutrients to your nails and scalp that can help to stimulate and increase growth. Imagine longer nails and hair because of an increase in circulation.
