Frankly, I
do not know what an exercise is until I was sent to school at the age of 6.
It is called
physical exercise or PE. Physically exercising your body is medicine that
delivers immense health benefits.
Monday, Wednesday
and Friday are PE days; and we have special design clothes for this. One
physical exercise I learn that ever stay with me is the wheel barrow with a
partner.
In later
years after leaving grammar school, I make something good out of it into a swimming
lesson. I also learn few plyometrics or jump training lessons here.
Perhaps, the
exercises in my primary school days are usually aimed at sporting events. And
so, I was moderately good in running events and playing football.
At the age
of 15, I was entering secondary grammar school. Same days of the week Monday,
Wednesday and Friday are schedule PE days.
All students
had to take part in the workouts. There in grammar school I learn the jumping
jack, squat, and the press up and down. Jogging is more regular here and as the
season of sports draw near, we take it further into cross country racing in
preparation for marathon.
I was made
to understand that in all the workouts, we are building a strong and sturdy body.
And so we are told to execute the workouts correctly and seriously.
Physical Activities
Physical
activities are domestic chore or economic task that is carried out daily. As a
house wife, you may be chopping some vegetables to prepare a nice and delicious
meal to your family now. This task is a physical activity. Your husband may be
washing the car and re-arranging both the living and sitting room. This also is
a physical activity. The children are returning from the play ground or from
school, and will be taking the stir to get to you. Still another physical
activity is involved.
A wood
worker or a mechanic is engaged in an economic labor. The level of muscular
movement with the arm is physical activities and not an exercise. The level of
condition in doing all these thing are not calculated scientifically. So these
are not true exercises when compared to the merits that can be obtained from
doing physical exercises. But there are
means of keeping the body vigorous so to speak.
True
physical exercises help enhanced physical activities and physical fitness.
Running can
be regard as an extension of jogging exercise. So are sprint, dash and
marathon. Playing football, tennis, basketball and other sporting games for
leisure is an extension exercise.

What Is A Physical Exercise
If you think
physical activities are the same as a physical exercise, you may be highly
disappointed.
What divide
physical exercise from physical activity is the conditioning involved. A
sprinter needs training at various levels to prepare well. Some of the training
may involve weight lifting along with barbell and dumb bell. This will help
build strength and endurance. Do such training necessary for you to chop your
vegetables? That is hardly the case.
Physical
exercises are exercises that conditioned you to apply strength endurance training
and fitness tests in sporting and games. At the same time it develops your body
immensely.
Physical
exercises further improve health and wellness.
It is regard
as a medicine that can be administer to patients like the medication of drugs
now.
Now if you
have a problem with the leg or knee joints, you may go rehabilitation of the
joints just with exercise with a train physical therapist. You can get better
here than with just drugs. This is just one in many of the best part of
physically exercising the body.
10 Minutes Only
To begin
your exercise, you only need a minimum of 5 minutes and a maximum of 10 minutes
as a beginner. In addition, you need to find out from a good doctor your cardio
fitness level for the exercise program. You can then later increase the time limit
to 45 minutes.
If you have
not been exercising for over a year, begin by taking a short walk round a
football field or similar distance.
This is just
100 yards or 90 meters. You can make this out by walking some part or all the
way to walk. It will prepare you well to a jogging event later.
I regularly
talk a walk. I walk half way or all the way to walk because the distance is
less than half mile. Skipping rope, press up and down, and jumping jack are a
form of exercise that builds strong bones.
Start Stretching
I
incorporate stretching into all my exercise routines. It is much better I
stretch than not to do any exercise. So, I always stretch before doing any one
exercise workout. I also stretch after doing jogging exercises. You may wonder why this is so.
Stretching
will benefit you in many ways before and after doing any exercise. It will lengthen and
make your muscles supple. Your joints become easily lubricate with synovial
fluids; and the range of movement ROM in every joint is greatly increased. It
further raised the heart rate.
For example, after jogging for a mile and back, you will get muscular pains and tension if you do not stretch. Stretching will let go of any muscle pain.
For example, after jogging for a mile and back, you will get muscular pains and tension if you do not stretch. Stretching will let go of any muscle pain.
I think in
some cases, like as we can see in later stories, you can do well without an
exercise just by stretching and rushing into the bathroom and then go to work
or that event. There is much good in doing so than nothing.
I stretch
before and after my exercises. They are too much to gain from the stretching
workout.
Like as in
exercise, I take only 10 to 15 minutes to carry out my stretching routines.
Types Of Exercises
In this
page, I will briefly describe some exercises that are common and will meet your
daily health needs after some practice. Some of us are so familiar with them,
and being inactive make us forget all.
1. Flexibility: this
will stretch and lengthen your muscles. It is a must before and after doing any
aerobic or anaerobic exercises. You can take a short cut to avoid aerobic by
doing flexibility exercises if you are short of time. I do so quite often and
it keeps me in good health. It targets your joints to be flexible and keeps
your muscles supple. For those who do not have the time to do either aerobic or
anaerobic exercises, stretching exercise can rejuvenated your body, keep one
fit and healthy for years.
2. Aerobic: this
exercise is associated with the big muscles of the body. Deep breathing and an
increase in the blood circulation round the body, plus the ability to carry on
any other activity characterize aerobic exercise. Walking, swimming, bicycling
and slow leisurely running or jogging is aerobic exercises. It targets the
health of the heart and lungs. Now, let’s say you are jogging or cycling with a
partner. You both can talk with one another. You discuss, you joke and you both
still have the strength to carry on. It means you both are cardio fit, and your
cardiovascular endurance seems better or excellent. Walking or brisk walking is
an excellent form of aerobic exercise.
3. Anaerobic: this
has to do with strength and resistance training. It helps to firm, strengthen
and tone your muscles. It can also improve the strength of bones, balance and
coordination. Weight lifting is the best known example. But it is costly to buy
weight bearing tools. Some anaerobic exercise like isometrics will not cost you a cent or penny. You only need the
floor or wall of your sitting room for executing them.
I combine
three of these exercises during any of my major workouts.
Moderation
Moderation
is all that is need to reap many of the health benefits of exercise.
Vigorous or
strenuous exercise will break your body down. But if you do it vigorous for a
very limited timing of a minute or two, good
for you. Exercising vigorously for 30 minutes is bad. No health benefit is got
from this.
This page is
only an introduction to all the posts I will make on physical exercises.
My first post
will be stretching exercise. Get ready for it.
And welcome
to the world of physical exercise.
To your good
health!
