Can't you make regular exercise compulsory in your daily life?

An active aerobics program means more hectic work for the heart and lungs when you exercise like dance moves. Anaerobia indicates the compulsion of the heart and lungs to work harder than in bodybuilding. The aerobic idea of ​​being a living being in the presence of oxygen is indeed an empowering feeling and should provide motivation to strive for better health and a positive lifestyle. The awe associated with extreme achievements like bodybuilding is the work of champions, but the vast majority of ordinary people would easily swallow the bitter pill of aerobics.

Many forms of aerobic exercise such as walking only require a pair of suitable shoes as an investment, but the returns are certainly very positive in terms of better health, burning calories and keeping the heart and lungs working hard. You end the practice with a rush of happy feelings and a lot has happened to regular practice. Aging was kept at bay and longevity achieved. Better oxygenation reaches the far corners of the body. Metabolism increased with muscle activation. The feeling of fullness is due to the extra oxygen. Such regular activity also helps to avoid immunity against various types of health problems like cold infections. The body warms up in colder climates. Stress relief is a crucial benefit, especially in a world where tension is responsible for too many mental and physical problems.

Jogging and walking, cycling and swimming, and martial arts are also low-intensity aerobic exercise. You don't really need the heavier stuff unless you've nurtured ambitions of becoming a weightlifter or bodybuilder, and few suffer from such dreams.

Given all the benefits, why shouldn't the company's employees regularly perform such simple exercises, perhaps together in the neighborhood? Many large organizations have their own colonies of staff quarters. There it would be comparatively easy to organize such aerobic groups for sustained vigorous exercise as a company health club under a manager and treasurer. Occasional family picnics or outings with packed lunches would promote a sense of community and the children would also enjoy the spirit.

What other medical benefits might you get from aerobic exercise?

• Cardiovascular function improves

• Increase in blood triglycerides

• Good HDL in the blood improves

• Heart rate and blood pressure are reduced

• Lactic acid, which causes muscle burns, is reduced

• Glucose burning reduces the risk of diabetes

• Depression is controlled, sleep is helped

• Weight loss is achieved appropriately

Perhaps older people have reasons to be lethargic because age usually indicates the increase in disease, but even young and middle-aged people today lack motivation to exercise. The electronic media of the Internet, which has contributed to the sensations of ancient television, has reinforced the habit of the sofa and the bed. Instead of reading books like the older generation, the new youth are manipulating tablets and smartphones in search of salvation.

A regular hour of exercise diligently done thrice a week would keep the body, mind and soul as fresh as a child. A world of health benefits would follow, but we take things for granted and would rather not burn those calories when we can idle around and experience electronic wonders. The lifestyle is changing with the former logging, farming and firewood collection in the village areas still in the distance. We need some of these rough and tough measures to achieve vigorous health and get us through the dark days.

Since you have a variety of aerobic exercises to choose from, get to it! Keep the options open so the group enjoys flexibility. Imposing things has negative consequences when passions fade after a few weeks. A survey would quickly show which exercise resonates with the group. An athlete or physical trainer would help set the mood and create interest.

Besides the small budget that would oil the wheels of the aerobics train, the venue is very important. Many plans fail due to the lack of an ideal location. The corporate office along with the garden or lawn could be a great combination of indoor and outdoor activities with groups formed at specific times on specific days of the week for regular exercise.

Are you ready to start the regime maybe three times a week for 30 minutes? It would be a good idea to consult your family doctor unless you are in the pink of youth with bursting energy. It is possible that some problems may arise that would be better discussed beforehand. Especially middle-aged people who suffer from tobacco and alcohol habits may need to take it easy. Obesity can also cause problems, and those who have been inactive for too long may have adjustment problems.

In any case, slow and steady like the tortoise wins the race and each session should start with a warm-up for a few minutes. Exercise time should also start small and gradually increase to 20 or 30 minutes over weeks. Wear appropriate clothing and shoes and observe rest periods ending with stretching before and after exercise to avoid injury.

If the group has decided to go cycling, skiing or swimming, there are a number of issues to consider in terms of location and facilities. Cycling and skiing would require equipment. Swimming doesn't need any equipment but the swimming pool must be real unless the nearby river serves the purpose but that could also turn out to be dangerous.

Try to include an element of fun and adventure to keep the group engaged and allow the message about aerobic exercise to reach families, neighbors and social networks. A website dedicated to the activities could very well generate greater interest in viewing photos and writing reviews of the various programs. When media is combined with the activities, it is a success.

Those who think it's too ordinary would love to hike in the hills or forest with cameras, nature and wildlife to keep them company. Spend a night under the stars or rent a homestay for the weekend. They would return with recharged and mentally stimulated batteries ready to attack the world of work in earnest once more.
