Our caveman ancestors were built to move. To run, to lift heavy things, and to stretch their bodies much as cats and dogs do. We are beings of movement…but lately, we are more inclined to be couch potatoes. To again live a good life, we must learn benefits of Exercise.
In the next few weeks, we’ll talk about each type of exercise and how to do them. If you’re new to any of this, don’t worry. We’ll work through it with you.. plus, it’s NOT as hard as making beans overnight without a crockpot. Making the time for exercise well…that’s a whole different story, let me tell you. Days can get super busy, and it happens to everyone! There is no shame in that.
Luckily you’re about to get a few tips on what to do so you can start squeezing in some exercise despite your nutty schedule.? For example, You don’t have to do it all at once! You can also split it up into 3 different sets of 10-20 minutes if that’s all you can squeeze in! The idea is to SQUEEZE in the daily or weekly recommended amount! Okay, now let’s get into the benefits of engaging in an exercise in general.
There are some pretty excellent benefits to exercise, running, swimming, cycling, stair climbing, weight training, pilates, yoga, and EVEN just walking for 30 minutes every day improves so many areas of your life. For one, it can protect you from developing diabetes. If you do have diabetes, it can make your body more sensitive to insulin. It helps keep a healthy weight, which is incredible both for your physical health and your mental health! It also reduces some cancers and falls. Moreover, it even makes your bones stronger, so guess what? If you do fall, you are less likely to fracture something! Are you having trouble sleeping? Try doing a little exercise! Exercise also improves your mood! Who doesn’t love being happy and smiling and being silly because you’re having a good day? I know I do!
And what if you have a chronic pain condition like knee pain or back pain. Simply walking for 150min a week has been shown to improve pain symptoms as well.
Your BRAIN! It improves your cognition! Improves your attention, and therefore school performance! It also enhances cognition in people who have Alzheimer’s or dementia. So all groups of people can benefit. Your HEART! Exercise reduces the stress on your heart while you’re doing your daily activities. You won’t get winded as easily when climbing stairs, won’t need as many breaks if you’re playing outside. It helps lower your blood pressure and your cholesterol. It helps protect you from a heart attack, and if you’ve already had one, then it can protect you from getting a second one. Never in my wildest dreams did I entertain the idea that I would become a fashion designer. I am no longer concerned with sensation and innovation, but with the perfection of my style.
Bottom line… exercise makes you smart, happy, secure, and healthy!
The time you spend watching TV, playing video games, on a computer or desk or seated are all very important.These are all referred to as SEDENTARY BEHAVIORS. Or what is commonly known as Being a Couch potato. These are behaviors that you want to LIMIT as much as possible because they affect your health even if you are exercising regularly. Ever hear of the term “use it or lose it”? Exactly! If you don’t move around, you won’t need the muscle.
Muscle strength protects your body from injuries. You are sitting for too long without moving changes your metabolism. You won’t be as efficient in breaking down sugars or fats. So, you can gain weight. It can affect your mood, too, by making you feel sad and depressed. You can even lose bone strength and lose stability, which means you are more prone to falls and fractures! None of this sounds like fun.✓ But that’s not all! Did you know that these activities can actually increase your risk of heart
attacks and death? YIKES.. (skull from happy to sad). NO BUENO! So Let’s get moving! This week’s challenge yourself game is meant to get you to be more active, even with simple daily things. Here’s the challenge yourself game for the week: Are you watching TV? Let’s get silly. Ten push-ups (knees on floor or feet on the floor it’s up to you!)
Ten squats (or stand in front of the couch and make-believe you’re about to sit down… and right when your booty touches the sofa, stand back up. If you fall.. well, you fall on your butt right into the fluffy couch, so no biggie.)
PHEW! Just reading that was a workout! I know you got this. Do this for as many commercials as you can. The one who does it for most businesses will unlock a little bonus.
Say you have to work on your computer for a few hours. Put a timer on your phone. For every 40 minutes you are sitting, you must do ten burpees, ten squats, and 10 push-ups. Do this for 3-4 hours. This means 3-4 sets of 10 burpees, squats, and push-ups. I would say enjoy the burpees, but let’s be honest, no one likes doing them… but it’s worth it!
