9. Indulge in some soft exercises. Soft exercises also work well if you are new to exercising, and would like to try your hand at something you haven’t, ever before. Since exercising might seem new, the body will be rigid, stiff and inflexible, and will need some loosening up. To this end, soft exercises are a great help. In terms of the benefits, soft exercises can help the body slowly build stamina, lower very high levels of cholesterol, keep the blood pressure and sugar levels stable by burning comfortable quantities of calories, and also improve circulation in the body. It is also immensely useful in lowering hypertension. Soft exercises keep the joints healthy and increases bone density. When the joints remain healthy, osteoporosis is kept at bay.
