The benefits of Aerobic Exercise
We have been blessed with the concepts of Aerobic Exercise for the past 40 years thanks to Dr. Kenneth Cooper. Ideally, you should do an aerobic exercise three or more times per week at your target heart rate. Examples of high intensity exercise include: Running, Spinning, Swimming, Aerobic Dance, Step Aerobics and Skipping Rope. You can get aerobic exercise benefits by performing lower intensity exercise for longer periods of time. Examples include: walking, swimming, bicycling, and rowing. You must consider duration and intensity of any exercise when assessing benefits.
The benefits of aerobic exercise are:
1 Improved Cardio-Respiratory function.
2 Increased number of capillaries.
3 Increased number of mitochondria in cells.
4 Decreased fat stores.
5 Increased numbers of receptor sites in cells.
6 Increased metabolic rate.
7 Increased production of antioxidant enzymes.
8 Increased production of Endorphins.
9 Increased Thermic effect of food.
10 Increased Efficiency of removing waste from the body.
11 Increased muscle mass.
12 Enhanced immune system.
13 Decreased onset of degenerative disease.
Now I ask you, with a list of benefits like this, how can you choose to stay sedentary?
If you say that you cannot find time to do this; then rearrange your schedule! You cannot afford NOT TO!
