Three Effective Exercise Regimes To Help You Maximize & Maintain Your Exercise Goals.
Some people believe that exercising one day a week for twenty-five minutes at the gym will yield "Hercules" results. In one's imagination, this may be possible. Intense exercising once a week could potentially cause more harm than good. Although, there are some experts who recommend working out from 75 to 150 minutes for one or two days a week may provide the same results as those who work out 4 to 5 days a week for 45 minutes.
Whether you choose 15 minutes or 150 minutes is up to you. It is the exercises you choose in the amount of time you have that may make the difference.
Here are three excellent exercise regimens you may want to consider adding to your weekly schedule to help increase your overall strength and well-being.
Yoga. Yoga can be done daily from 5 to 60 minutes. The poses and stretches are ideal for those who are experiencing stiffness, aches, and pain from their daily routine. Yoga can increase your core strength and balance while decreasing the potential for falls. https://www.prevention.com/fitness/a38943981/benefits-of-yoga/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=arb_ga_pre_md_pmx_us_urlx&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI75qnyvPs-wIVlt7ICh3TDgEIEAAYASAAEgKc2vD_BwE
Tai Chi. Tai Chi can also be done in a 5 to 60-minute time span. You can do this standing or sitting. The benefits of these exercises are outstanding! Tai Chi helps to increase oxygen and blood flow. The movements are slow and steady which forces your muscles to engage while increasing your postural control. This is important as we age. Many people tend to lean forward as they get older which makes them more likely to trip and fall. https://selfhelphome.org/the-12-benefits-of-tai-chi-for-seniors/?matchtype=b&network=g&device=c&adposition=&keyword=tai%20chi&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzeKkv-3s-wIVU8DICh2ubQatEAAYAiAAEgKb5fD_BwE
Add weights to your exercise regimen. Exercising for 15 to 30 minutes 3 times a week is ideal for those who have a busy schedule. Using 5 to 20-pound hand weights may offer you the results you have been searching for in less time. https://caliberstrong.com/blog/increase-the-amount-of-weight-you-lift-at-the-gym/ https://www.cbc.ca/parents/learning/view/how-to-add-weight-to-your-workout-without-buying-weights
Exercise should be as important as the meals we plan to eat daily. Changing our mindset to meet the need our bodies require will yield us the results we desire.
Peace & Balance!
