Can’t make regular exercise a must in your daily life?
An active aerobic exercise program puts a heavier job on your heart and lungs as you work through dance moves. The anaerobic indicates the compulsion of the heart and lungs to work harder as in bodybuilding. The aerobic idea of being a living entity in the presence of oxygen is a truly uplifting feeling and should provide the motivation to strive for better health and a positive lifestyle. The awe associated with extreme achievements like bodybuilding is the work of champions, but the vast majority of ordinary people would easily swallow the bitter pill of aerobics.
Many forms of aerobic exercise, such as walking, require no more than an appropriate pair of shoes as an investment, but the benefits are certainly very positive in terms of better health, burning calories, and keeping your heart and lungs working hard. You finish the exercise with a rush of happy feelings and a lot has happened with regular practice. Aging has been kept at bay and longevity has been achieved. A better supply of oxygen reaches the remote corners of the body. The metabolism has increased with the activation of the muscles. The feeling of satiety is due to the extra oxygen. Immunity from various kinds of health problems like cold infections is also prevented by such regular activity. The body heats up in colder weather. Stress relief is a crucial benefit, especially in a world where stress is responsible for too many mental and bodily problems.
Jogging and walking, bicycling, swimming, and martial arts would also be included in a low-intensity aerobic exercise. You don’t really need the heavier stuff unless you have ambitions to become a powerlifter or bodybuilder and few have those dreams.
Given all the advantages, why shouldn’t corporate employees perform such a simple exercise on a regular basis, perhaps jointly within neighborhoods? Many large organizations have their own dedicated staff housing colonies. It would be comparatively easy to organize such aerobic groups for sustained vigorous exercise as a company health club under the direction of a manager and treasurer. Occasional picnics or outings with families with a packed lunch would promote a sense of community and the children would enjoy the spirit as well.
What other medical benefits could you get from aerobic exercise?
• Improves cardiovascular function
• Increased blood triglycerides
• Improves the good HDL in the blood
• Heart rate and blood pressure are reduced
• Lactic acid that causes muscle burning is reduced
• Glucose burning reduces diabetes risks
• Depression is controlled, it helps to fall asleep
• Weight loss is adequately achieved
Perhaps the elderly have reason to be lethargic because age often indicates increasing disease, but even the young and middle-aged today lack the motivation to exercise. The electronic media of the Internet added to the sensations of the millennial television have added to the custom of the sofa and the bed. Instead of reading books like the older generation did, the new youth is manipulating tablets and smartphones in search of salvation.
A regular hour of exercise done diligently three times a week would keep body, mind and soul as fresh as a child’s. A world of health benefits would follow, but we take things for granted and would rather not burn those calories if we can sit back and experience electronic wonders. Lifestyles are changing with former logging, farming and firewood gathering in the village areas still continuing in the distance. We need some of those rough and tumble measures for vigorous health to get us through the dark days.
Since you have a sea of aerobic exercise options, let’s get to work! Keep options open so that the group enjoys flexibility. Imposing anything has its negative consequences when passions fade after a few weeks. A poll would quickly reveal which exercise favors the group. An athlete or physical trainer would help set the scene and arouse interest.
Besides the small budget that would grease the wheels of the aerobics train, the place is very important. Many plans fail due to the absence of an ideal location. The company headquarters along with the garden or lawn could be a great mix of indoor and outdoor activities with groups formed to exercise regularly on designated weekends at specific time slots.
Are you ready to start the regimen maybe three times a week for 30 minutes? It would be a good idea to see your family doctor unless you are in the prime of youth with a burst of energy. Some issues may arise that are best discussed beforehand. Especially middle-aged people if they suffer from tobacco and alcohol habits may need to take it easy. Obesity could also present problems and those who have been inactive for too long may have some adjustment problems.
In any case, slow and steady like the tortoise wins the race and each session should start with a few minute warm up. The exercise period should also start small and gradually increase over weeks to 20 to 30 minutes. Wear appropriate clothing and shoes and observe rest periods before and after exercise, ending with stretching to avoid injury.
If the group chose to bike, ski or swim, you have a host of issues to consider in terms of location and facilities. Biking and skiing would require equipment. Swimming doesn’t need equipment, but the pool must be real unless the nearby river serves that purpose, but that could prove dangerous as well.
Try to include an element of fun and adventure to keep the group busy and allow the message of aerobic exercise to reach families, neighbors and social media as well. A website that deals with activities might well arouse more interest than one that shows pictures and writes accounts of the different programmes. When means are combined with activities, you are bound to succeed.
Those who find walking too ordinary will be delighted to hike the hills or forest with cameras, nature and wildlife for company. Spend a night camping under the stars or rent a homestay for the weekend. You would return with your batteries recharged and spiritually energized to once again attack the world of work in earnest.
