essential elements of any well-rounded exercise program

Monday, April 17th, 2006

Hope this helps clear up a few misconceptions
Here are the essential elements of any well-rounded exercise program:
1. Aerobic Exercise. Aerobic activity gets your heart pumping and burns
calories. It also lowers blood pressure, reduces stress, and decreases
cholesterol.
Twenty minutes of moderate-intensity activity is the bare minimum to
experience any real benefit. Exercising at a lower intensity for longer periods
of
time will maximize your overall fitness.
2. Stretching. Stretching improves flexibility and posture while reducing
stress and the risk of injury due to exercise. It’s best to stretch twice-once
after a brief five- to 10-minute warm-up and once at the end of your workout.
However, if you are short on time, stretching at the end should be enough. It’s
important to give your muscles a chance to warm up before stretching-otherwise
you may injure yourself. Make sure you hold each stretch for at least 15
seconds (30 seconds is ideal).
3. Resistance Training (Weight Lifting). Lifting weights helps build
strength, prevents osteoporosis, and burns calories. If you want to lose weight
while
you’re not exercising, you have to build lean muscle mass. Lean muscle burns
calories even while you sleep. To see the benefits of resistance training, it’s
only necessary to lift weights for 10 minutes two to three times each week.
Remember to work slowly and to repeat each move at least eight to 15 times. If
you can’t feel it, you’re not working hard enough.

know? While I am not exactly sure WHAT this means… this is what they
said::
