Going out with friends to the gym, to jog around the neighborhood or to do some cardios at the community park are great excuses to have fun. The heart will benefit exceptionally from the shared laughter and cheeky wisecracks. Besides, these physical activities done with enjoyment will do wonders to overall body fitness too. These activities are not going to be simply labeled with a much dreaded, sometimes boring activity title called exercise, but will be frivolously called going out with friends or family to have fun to stay physically fit.
Why this needs to give exercise another cooler label?
A lot of people always promise to do physical activities not limited to exercising in the gym or in the community grounds, but sports or even just a walk around the block. And always fail to do so. Many Exercise or Fitness specialists acknowledge these foot-dragging pre-disposition when it comes to more physically challenging actions, for people tend to think of the exhaustion after the activities and would rather not experience it. Opting out of the fun and the benefits because of some anticipated deterrents.
Importance of exercise:

Exercise is going to make the heart merry, and a merry heart will become fighting fit and will be good for a lifetime.
How will the heart directly benefit from exercise?
Exercise help build up muscles’ strength, and heart is made up of muscles or rather a muscle itself, working together with quite a number of veins and arteries to sustain life in living creatures by carrying the much needed oxygen with the blood it pumps through the nerves to the vital organs. When doing physical activities you tend to breathe a little faster than normal, making the heart pump quicker. The heart is used more than its normal function when doing exercise, and like an engine when used frequently it will not get rusted and will always respond quickly to the ignition. The heart will happily pump away blood thus supplying the nerves its much needed oxygen during exercise. The heart must be taken care of excellently in order to live a long and much fulfilled life.
Slouching on the couch watching TV, staying enthroned in the computer chair busy with the internet or lying about engaged with an iPad or a cellphone will not only make body muscles waste away, the heart also will wither. Muscles if not used will not grow in strength and will slowly deteriorate, taking life and energy as it goes and when allowed to rest in inactivity will also slowly get rusty and will fail to pump life’s sustenance later.
