But instead of being Mr/ Mrs FIX IT
Everybody wishes for a figure like Shilpa Shetty or
abs like Hrithik Roshan. You also must have some such secret
desire, so why not turn it into a reality?
But instead of being Mr/Ms fix it, and fix our
weight, it is better to aim simply for better health. All that a
sedentary lifestyle can gift you is a loss of muscles mass, tone,
flexibility strength, and vitality.
IF YOU DESIRE OPTIMUM HEALTH, EXERCISE IS
FUNDAMENTAL.
Wanna face the facts?
·
Sedentary people are roughly twice as likely
to die from a heart attack
·
A sedentary lifestyle carries the statistical
equivalent of smoking a packet of cigarettes every day or having
20% extra body fat.
But instead if you get off that sofa and move, you
will see how much it works in your favour. When we exercise
regularly, all nutrients are assimilated better.
Heat & energy generated by physical exercise is a
crucial for many important functions of body such as:
·
Removal of gaseous waste created through
cellular metabolism
·
Enrichment of blood with vital oxygen
·
Improvement of nerve communication and function
·
Increase of the number and size of blood
vessels
·
Improvement of blood circulation.
·
Healthy lymph system (lymphatic system functions to
bring nutrients to cells and to carry away metabolic wastes).
If you are a weight watcher, this is something you
should know. Exercise helps to speed up your metabolic rate,
which means that you will be burning up all that
unwanted fat quicker. Also, walking or exercising at your
target heart rate, will give you cardiovascular fitness as
well as weight loss.
Thus, one can say there’s no other side to
exercising. All you do works in your favour. But it is necessary
to keep in mind a few points when wanting to develop an exercise
regime.
Caution while exercising
Physical exercise is good for you – but it
does not necessarily follow that the more you do, the
better it is. Pay careful attention to your body’s responses.
During peak exercise, you should have a
very thin film or perspiration, but you should not be
sweating excessively.
Use your
breathing as measures of exercise intensity. If you are
breathing slowly and deeply, but without strain, you are
working at the correct level. You should be able to hold
a conversation while you are exercising. Above all,
ENJOY!
Have fun while you exercise.
Another important aspect is the choice of exercise.
Exercise should enhance energy, strength, and vitality. It should
make you feel lively, strong, and energetic.
The best time of day to exercise is between 6:00 and 10:00 a.m.
This is when the physiology is strongest and most tolerant of
activity.
Choose exercise that help to integrate mind and
body. Some of such activities & exercises are: Surya namaskar,
Yogasans & pranayams, brisk walking, aerobics with enjoyable
music, swimming, and sports. Adding these to your exercise regime
will not only take care of your physical health but also your
mental makeup.
Thus, stay fit, exercise well, enjoy a healthy
lifestyle, AND YOU’LL BE FABULOUS.
