Should We Exercise A Lot and Continuously?

 

We can exercise in increments during the day; it is not necessary to do everything in one go.

 

Whenever you have some time during the day, you can do some exercises. 

 

5 things to keep in mind when you exercise: 

 

1. Work out the entire body (including your head, face, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, waist, abdomen, knees, legs, feet, etc.).  

 

2. Do not exercise too much and too intensely, that way you can avoid straining the heart, lungs, bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles excessively (also when the heart and lungs are exhausted from working too hard, other internal organs are affected and become exhausted as well).

 

3. After a full meal, it’s best not to exercise right away. Give your stomach time to do its work properly. Wait at least about half an hour before exercising. Because each body is different, listen well to your own.

 

4. For any exercise movement: Start out slow and gradually increase the speed; start out gently and gradually increase the intensity.

 

5. An exercise program should be appropriate, consistent, and adequate.

 

Appropriate exercises are those that are suitable for one’s age, body, and physical condition.

 

Consistency refers to the commitment to exercise every day, not to miss any day unless you’re ill.

 

Adequate means exercising for different parts of your body, not too little, not too much, and never to the point of exhaustion. If you miss a day, do not double up on your daily exercise since that won’t be beneficial to your health.

 

Here's to healthy living!
