DHAKA: There are hardly any negatives to working out and today we give you the five best motivations to hit the gym, reports The Times of India.

Boosts confidence: According to a recent psychological study, those participants, who followed some sort of an exercise routine, were found to be more confident than those, who didn't workout at all. The participants, when exercised, gained more confidence than before. It didn't matter for how long they exercised.

Better health: Not only does exercising get you in good shape and makes you look great, it also does wonders for your health. It keeps your blood pressure in check, reduces the chances of cancer and also helps prevent the early onset of diabetes.

Improves mood: another study suggests that people with anxiety disorders felt better after exercising, as it reduces depression and stress.

Increases productivity: A fitness routine also boosts your productivity at work, as you are able to concentrate better and manage to get more work done in a shorter time, as per an international health journal.

Ripple effect: A physically fit person is able to give more in his/her personal relationships too. Since there is an increase in your patience levels, you are able to solve issues and problems of your family and friends. And it gives you the opportunity of living a healthy, stress-free life.
