About
Exercise
Exercise
is a particular form of physical activity — planned, purposeful
physical activity executed with the intent of gaining fitness or
other health advantages. Exercising at a health club, swimming,
cycling, running, and sports, like golf and tennis, are all kinds of
exercise.
How can
you tell if an action is considered moderate or vigorous in intensity
level? If you are able to talk although executing it, it's moderate.
If you have to stop to catch your breath after saying simply a couple
of words, it's vigorous.
Depending
upon your fitness level, a game of doubles tennis would likely be
moderate in intensity level, although a singles game could be more
vigorous. Also, ballroom dance would be moderate, however aerobic
dance could be considered vigorous. Once again, it's not simply your
choice of activity, its how much effort it demands.
Ideally,
an exercise regimen should include elements designed to better each
of these components:
Cardio-respiratory
endurance. Better your respiratory endurance — your ability to
engage in aerobics — through actions like brisk walking, jogging,
running, cycling, swimming, jumping rope, rowing, or cross-country
skiing. As you reach distance or intensity level goals, reset them
higher or shift to a different action to keep challenging yourself.
Muscular
force. You are able to better muscular strength most efficiently by
lifting weights, utilizing either free weights like barbells and
dumbbells or lifting machines.
Muscular
endurance. Better your endurance with calisthenics (conditioning
exercises), weight training, and actions like running or swimming.
Flexibleness.
Work to better your level of flexibility through stretching exercises
that are done as part of your exercise or through a discipline like
yoga or pilates that contains stretching.
Although
it's possible to handle all of these fitness factors with a
physically active life-style, an exercise program should help you
accomplish even greater advantages.
Increasing
the sum of physical activity in your daily life is a great beginning
— like parking a couple of blocks from your destination to get in a
little walking. However to truly accomplish fitness goals, you’ll
need to incorporate structured, vigorous actions into your schedule
to help you accomplish even more of your fitness and health goals.
