The human body is meant for movement. A wide variety of modern epidemics, from heart disease to diabetes to osteoporosis, are rooted in our sedentary lifestyles.
Lifelong physical activity is crucial to optimum health, but running marathons is not required. For a sensible perspective, explore here.
Aerobic Exercise for Well-Being is any activity that increases your heart rate and respiratory rate, the kind that feels like work and makes you huff, puff, and sweat.
Aerobic exercise does not just mean aerobics, the classes offered at most health clubs and spas. Aerobics classes are one kind of aerobic activity; there are many others, including running, some kinds of walking, cycling, swimming, cross-country skiing, jumping rope, dancing, and climbing stairs.
Aerobic exercise conditions:
- Our hearts and arteries and respiratory systems
- It increases stamina and general fitness
- It promotes cleansing of the blood by stimulating circulation and perspiration
- It gives a sense of strength and well-being
It increases the flow of oxygen to all organs, enabling them to work more efficiently
It burns calories, undoing some of the damage we do by eating too much.
It strengthens the immune system.
It reduces stress
Self-care = Self love.
Together we thrive.
