MAXIMIZING RESULTS: HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT EXERCISES FOR YOUR BODY.
Category:Wellness
You probably have heard that physical exercise is good for your body and yes, that’s right! But the choice of the exercise routine is always a hard one. Some instructors will suggest brisk walking or jogging others will suggest weight lifting. But rarely do we ask our instructors how we end up with a particular exercise routine.
Whichever exercise routine works will depend on, the goals you intend to achieve, your fitness level, and the frequency, and length of your workouts. After the initial start, monitor and assess the progress of your routine for the best results.
The type of exercise that is suitable for a person depends on a variety of factors such as age, fitness level, health status, and personal preferences. However, here are a few general recommendations:
- Strength training: These exercises can help to build muscle and improve bone density. Examples include weight lifting, resistance band training, and bodyweight exercises like push-ups, squats, and lunges.
- Flexibility exercises: These exercises can help to improve your range of motion and prevent injury. Examples include yoga, stretching, and Pilates.
- Cardiovascular exercises: These exercises help to improve the health of your heart and lungs. Examples include walking, running, cycling, swimming and dancing.
- Balance exercises: These exercises can help to improve your balance and reduce the risk of falls, especially in older adults. Examples include standing on one foot, heel-to-toe, walking, and tai-chi.
It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise program, especially if you have any medical conditions or concerns. Additionally, it is important to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts to avoid injury.
