Nutrition, Exercise, Sleep & Positivity (3)

Exercise

Physical exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health.(Definition from Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_(physical))

It is one of the most effective ways to improve our circulation and metabolism, and it also helps lowering the risks of having obesity, hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis*, etc.

Aerobic exercises like jogging, cycling and swimming are intended to improve the ability to use oxygen, while weight training works to train certain muscles. A well-combination of both exercises would turn into an amazing result for those who plan to lose weight.

To boost our catabolic strength in an easier and faster way, I will show you some tricks in the next week.

All suggestions are welcome! ^^


* P/S: Exercises which may help preventing osteoporosis are those require your muscles and bones to work against gravity. Swimming is an example that has no such benefit however it helps to train muscle and prevents the probability of falling-down.

  2. Hi Ellen, I think you may try some easy indoor exercises while watching your favourite TV shows at the same time! Or, you may invite one or some of your close friends to be your exercise partner(s). ^^
