Are you injured?
Unfortunately, many people avoid exercise simply because they were injured during a previous workout routine. The beginning of a new year inspires change in almost everyone. Take a look as you drive down the street. You will notice an increased number of joggers and walkers braving the weather. Gym memberships go up in January as a direct result of our desire to start a new year off by developing a healthier lifestyle. Exercise is great for improving your health, and it is also an important factor for healing if you are injured.
Aerobic exercise
Aerobic exercise is defined as training or exercising with air or oxygen. The main benefit of this type of training is that it:
strengthens your heart
lowers blood pressure
can increase metabolism.
Before you sign up for a Zumba class, or a Spin class, it would be best that you start out with something that is performed at a low to moderate pace for a reasonable period of time, usually around twelve minutes to fifteen minutes. From there, you can consider increasing endurance gradually, while staying within your target pulse rate and not fatiguing your muscles. A basic rule of thumb for new exercise enthusiasts is that if you are gasping for air, you are probably not getting a sufficient oxygen supply to the muscles, which can certainly lead to injury. The following are ideal aerobic activities that can be performed with moderation:
- Walking
- Jogging
- Swimming
- Bicycling
- Hiking
- Beginning step class
