Relieve stress and lose weight! Supermodel Wang Liya talks about the 6 benefits of exercise

Exercise can make the body healthier, help firm the skin, enhance metabolism, improve insomnia and allergies... the benefits are too numerous to list. But apart from these, what other additional benefits does exercise have that are worthy of our continued encouragement and for everyone to join the ranks of exercise? Supermodel Wang Liya tells everyone from her own personal experience, why is she still so keen on sports, and even loves sports more and more, even though she already has a model-like figure?

1. Get rid of worries and pain

When exercising, focus on your breathing in and out. In just 30 minutes to an hour, your world belongs only to you. Wang Liya recalled the low point she experienced two years ago when her work, relationship, and health were all unsatisfactory. She often went to parties at night and numbed herself with alcohol. After I started exercising, although it was difficult at first, in the process of relearning how to breathe and move, I found that I could forget my worries and frustrations and feel better.

2. Be more confident in yourself

After exercise, the weight number is no longer the focus. It is enough as long as the body fat is within a healthy range, the body lines look good, and whether you have achieved your goals. Especially in the modeling circle, people used to have very strict standards for themselves and would pay a lot of attention to the size of their pants. But in the sports circle, as long as a girl loves herself, I think she is so hot. No matter if the tight pants make her butt look big or her legs are too thick, I no longer see the size as a problem. I think she is great. Comparing yourself with others will only lead to constant setbacks. You need to learn how to challenge your past self, not the people around you.

3. Make time for yourself

Running is a mobile meditation. You will constantly examine yourself. Compared with the changes in appearance, the inner growth has brought me the biggest change. One evening when the sun was setting, I saw the beautiful scenery outside the window, so I quickly put together a playlist of songs about heartbreak and rushed out for a run. When I was running alone along the river, it felt like I was filming a music video. That was the atmosphere and feeling, like a date with myself. I felt like I had grown up again, and I felt very happy when I ran.

4. Know how to enjoy food better

When friends meet up to participate in triathlons or marathon events, the most common topic is, after the competition, we will go to a certain restaurant to have a big meal to celebrate, or there are some great snacks in a certain place... After all, eating is one of the motivations for exercise. In order to enjoy more food and eat more happily, exercise will have a goal. I no longer try to be very thin like before, starving for a long time before eating a lot, feeling guilty after eating, and destroying my body. Now, although I don’t abstain from food, I am losing weight more healthily. I understand the importance of adjusting my work and rest schedule and eating a balanced diet.

5. Learn to encourage yourself and praise others

People who exercise are very good at encouraging others. They always say "You are great!" and "You can do it!". This surprised Wang Liya, who had just started exercising. It turned out that running, which she used to reject, could give her such great encouragement. This sense of accomplishment has been there since she was a child, and it has not even been there in her modeling career. Over time, it became like a contagion, and she began to encourage others. Seeing others happy makes her happy too.

6. Your relationship with friends will also change

The biggest change is the way I look at everything. My perspectives are different, and the way my friends and I interact with each other is also different. In the past, when I was in a bad mood, I would drink and buy luxury goods. But exercise will prevent me from always focusing on unhappy things. For example, when running a marathon, I will tell myself to think about happy things. Gradually, "thinking about happy things" will become part of my daily life. Naturally, I will complain less and spend less money.
