Stay Fit

In this post I’m wanted to be your consultant physical trainer since I read an article about stay healthy makes you be powerful. I’m just guessing about the title since there is no title about it. Many of us do not get the kind of day-to-day physical activity that we need to stay fit. 

Conversely, we become unfit because of lack exercises during the free time that we have. Physical activity means any movement of the body that is made by skeletal muscles and requires energy to accomplish. It also means the ability to do physical activities that can be measured by determining one’s endurance, power and flexibility. Staying fit is a great bonus to life and can lead you become a happier and healthier person.

By staying fit and healthy, you not only look and feel better, but you can decrease the chances of getting health problem like diabetes, heart attack, hypertension and high cholesterol later on in life. There are four types of exercises that you can do that I’m taken from the article that I have read:

1. Endurance

These exercise boost heart rate and breathing over a period of time. They are good for the heart,lungs, and circulation. They also help prevent or delay some diseases. For instance are walking, swimming, running and many more activities done without stopping for a period of time.

2. Strength training

Some examples are weight training or body weight exercises such as push-ups or pull ups. Lifting weights make older adults strong enough to do what they need to do and like to do. I’m strongly agreed with it. It is absolutely true!

3. Balance

These exercises help prevent falls, a major cause of disability in older adults. Try practicing balancing on one foot trying to increase the length of time one is able to do with it over time, and then add some movements of the eyes or hands to make it more difficult.

4. Stretching

Some examples are flexibility exercises, Yoga, Tai Chi, Pilates, anything that makes you try to increase the range of motion of a joint. These exercising will help keep the body limber and flexible (be sure you have a sturdy chair to grab on to).

There are many helpful strategies to keep fit and stay healthy that can be done with dedication and ambition. “Exercising, Maintaining a Balanced Diet, Gaining Willpower, and Motivation”. Let’s do it!
