This means your body can better respond to physical stressors, such as sudden movements or intense physical activity, without excessive strain on your cardiovascular system

Strong muscles and bones provide a protective shield against injuries and fractures, making your body more resistant to shocks and impacts.
>> Enhanced Balance & Coordination: Regular exercise can boost your immune system by promoting the circulation of immune cells and antibodies. This can help your body fend off infections m`ore effectively, making you less susceptible to illness-related shocks
>> Improved Flexibility: Stretching and flexibility exercises, like stretching routines or yoga, improve your range of motion.
>> Stress Reduction: Physical activity, including aerobic exercises and mind-body practices like yoga and tai chi, helps reduce stress hormones like cortisol and increases the production of endorphins, your body's natural mood lifters.
