Importance of exercise to a healthy living
Sunday, August 16th, 2009The importance of exercise
Exercise is so important that if I could give only one health study, it would probably be on exercise. There are many disorders that can be neutralized by lots of vigorous exercise.
What is best exercise?
The best exercise should be characterized as “vigorous though not violent.” Most individuals do not maintain a high enough level of athletic training to make jogging or running a safe exercise.
Competitive sports are not the best forms of exercise. During youth and early adulthood, competitive sports may be a major form of exercise.
If, however, one has learned sports that are non-competitive, especially sports that can be enjoyed if done alone, one has his exercise assured.
How to get exercise
In order to get cardiovascular training effect, 15-30 minutes of vigorous exercise, without stopping is required. After the exercise period, a “cooling down” is advisable. All of one’s exercise should not be done indoors. Remember the benefits, and discipline yourself to daily exercise.
