The Importance of Exercise

Lots of people today are significantly less physically active in their daily routine, due to the use of cars,  machinery, moving stairs, lifts, and so on...
However, physical activity is not only for athletes, energy input (food intake) becomes greater than energy output (activity) when we eat more than we need or use so that physical activity becomes essential for your health.

When one exercise, one's effort must exceed that of his normal daily activities.
As the exercise becomes easier, the intensity needs to gradually be increased so that a level of effort is maintained during every session.

There are several types of exercises types that can help you maintain your physical fitness:

Flexibility exercises- refers to the absolute range of movement in a joint or series of joints, and length in muscles that cross the joints. Flexibility is variable between individuals, particularly in terms of differences in muscle length of multi-joint muscles. Flexibility in some joints can be increased to a certain degree by exercise, with stretching a common exercise component to maintain or improve flexibility.
Quality of life is enhanced by improving and maintaining a good range of motion in the joints. Overall flexibility should be developed with specific joint range of motion needs in mind as the individual joints vary from one to another. Loss of flexibility can be a predisposing factor for physical issues such as pain syndromes or balance disorders.


Resistance training - Any training that uses a resistance to the force of muscular contraction:
Resistance training, also called weight training or strength training, is pitting muscles against a resistance such as a weight (for example, a dumbbell or barbell) or other type of resistance, to build the strength, anaerobic endurance, and/or size of skeletal muscles. A well-rounded program of physical activity includes strength training, to improve bone, joint function, bone density, muscle, tendon and ligament strength, as well as aerobic exercise, to improve your heart and lung fitness.

Aerobic exercise - physical exercise of relatively low intensity that depends primarily on the aerobic energy-generating process:
Using the same large muscle group, rhythmically, for a period of 15 to 20 minutes or longer while maintaining 60-80% of your maximum heart rate.
Think of aerobic activity as being long in duration yet low in intensity. Aerobic activities include: walking, biking, jogging, swimming, aerobic classes and cross-country skiing. Anaerobic activity is short in duration and high in intensity. Anaerobic activities include: racquetball, downhill skiing, weight lifting, sprinting, softball, soccer and football.
Aerobic means with air or oxygen. You should be able to carry on a short conversation while doing aerobic exercise. If you are gasping for air while talking, you are probably working anaerobically. When you work anaerobically, you will tire faster and are more likely to experience sore muscles after exercise is over.
