Nothing can replace the treatment of exercise. Exercise has the proven ability to prevent and treat a wide range of ailments. Regular physical activity can accelerate the body’s natural healing process. It also lowers blood pressure and cholesterol and strengthens the heart muscles and thus significantly reduces the risk of heart disease.
Physical exercise lets you feel better because the body releases endorphins which trigger positive feelings. People who exercise regularly are less likely to suffer from depression and stress. It is also effective against hypertension, obesity, osteoporosis, diabetes and cancer. It can delay the effects of ageing and ward off the common cold.
The good news is that exercise is freely available to all who can move and it does not have to cost a thing. You do not have to join a gym, you do not have to buy expensive equipment and you do not even need to buy special clothes. Yes, all those extras can help to make it easier and you can get more motivated, but you can have a good workout in your garden every day, with the added benefit of a beautiful garden. You can take the dog to a field and run and play with him for an hour.
The question many people ask is: how much exercise is enough? It is suggested by professional trainers that you should get at least 20 minutes of non-stop, vigorous exercise for three days of the week, or 30 minutes of moderate exercise for 5 days of the week. Further good news is that you can break up that 30 minutes of exercise per day into three 10 minute sessions, and you do not have to do it all on a treadmill. The best will be to also do another exercise in every session to make sure you get a whole body workout. Do some cardio training in one session, weight training in the next session and cardio in the last session again.
You will soon start feeling better in your mind and body and you will be a step closer to your ideal body weight.
