Do you exercise regularly?
It is important to implement both resistance and cardiovascular forms of exercise 3-6 times a week for optimal health. Exercise facilitates circulation which is imperative for cell function. Circulation brings nutrients into the cells and facilitates the excretion of toxins. Resistance exercise strengthens muscles and is essential for bone health. Recommended weight-bearing exercises are those that incorporate multiple muscle groups such as functional resistance training, yoga, and Pilates. Recommended cardiovascular exercises are swimming, rebounding, cycling, jogging, or brisk walking.
Making exercise as fun as possible is recommended for regularity. It is easier to stick to a workout routine when exercise is enjoyable. Activities such as hiking, rebounding on a trampoline, racquetball, a basketball game, mountain biking, rollerblading are just a few activities that can be fun and healthy at the same time.
