Sound Physical Activity That Keep You Fit, Healthy And Strong

http://goodhealthfront.blogspot.com/A sound physical activity is a good health front. It is an integral sum of healthy living. It means how you move your body like brisk walking, running, taking a stroll, jogging and swimming. It includes climbing a stair or playing a game of soccer, tennis or baseball. All forms of sports and aerobics are sound physical activity.

It is tired along with nutrition. You can eat all the best foods rich in carbohydrates, fats and proteins, but good health may still elude you if you do not get active. Why? Our body needs to be strong to digest and absorb these nutrients in foods. Nursing mothers massaging a baby arms, shoulders, legs, back tells you that the babe’s body need to be develop for sound health benefit. 

Sound physical activity comes in various forms. Whether you are handicap or not you should have two or three physical activity to keep your body strong and vigorous. This will in turn positively affect your mind. How serious physical handicap you are is not a barrier. Just consult your physician for advice. Your activity should be from leisurely or moderated to vigorous or both. 

The center for disease control has good advice for this. Visit the link here http://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/everyone/guidelines/adults.html or you copy and paste it into your internet browser, and google it.

For just only 30 to 45 minutes a day, less or more, you can build up a strong healthy body that is a negative to chronic diseases and other common ill health especially the common cold. It pays to be physical active regularly. 

Remember that peoples who exercise or indulged in leisurely or moderate to vigorous physical activities like swimming and jogging other than house hold chores like washing the car or chopping woods or climbing the stairs do not easily contact a cold virus or the cold. It should not be a daily bodily function. Just two or three days in the week is all that it takes to do some of the activities. Be regular and be consistent. That is what counts in the long run.

Is this asking more of your time? Does it demand more effort on your part? The best thing about this is that you can do any of the aerobic exercises at your convenience, even in your living or sitting room. Exercises like press-ups and downs, pull and push, he jumping jack, the frog jump, and so on, builds your body muscles in a wonderful way. Just pick two or three days in the week for this. This should be a regular exercise if you have to get the best health benefit from the program. 

That said, a babe lying on its back in a happy mood and kicking its legs and stretching its arms suggests the child is doing an activity to develop his or her body. On closer note, it is a style of swimming which the child use to turn here and there while in its mother’s womb. Many will agree with this statement however fun it is. Babes are fond of waters. 

Eat Something

Before you start an activity, eat a little something for energy. I always begin my exercises by sucking an orange or chewing a sugar cane or both. I eat these light foods an hour before the activity. 100% natural orange or apple juice can deliver the same energy.

Very thin persons should eat egg, fish, lean meat, nuts and a glass of milk. Add fruits and vegetables and relax for two hours before you start. 

I will eat the same stuff too if I am going on a long jog of a mile.

Take a protein formula that can be absorbed into the blood stream within 30 minutes after the exercise. It is good for your muscles.

Your muscles need sugar or glucose and you get it from the carbohydrates you eat before the exercise or from the breakdown of fats that is converted to glucose while exercising or jogging. That is one reason one should eat lots of fruits before an exercise. After the activity, the muscle begs for protein.

So, if you are an exercise rut or nut, make proteins your main food item above carbohydrates and fats. Protein will help to build up the tear of the muscle.

If you are over weigh and need to bring your weigh down, drink two glass of water dilute with lime or lemon juice. It helps speed up your metabolic rate and you burn unwanted fat.

Eat a balanced meal after exercise. Include fruits, nuts and green leafy vegetables beside the carbs, fats and proteins in your chop plate.

Schedule Your Exercise

For example, I schedule my exercise on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. This is at my convenience and time. 10 -15 minutes is what it takes me indoors. But I jog a mile on the last Saturday of the month. You can begin with just only 10 minutes and this is not bad at all for beginning. It is much better if you maintain this 10 minutes regularly on the set days. 

When I am not getting involved in doing the press-ups and downs, I swim in the river Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays even on a Tuesday. But I do some stretching out before diving into the river. This help warm up my muscles. It helps keep the muscles supple before I swim or I may get a muscle cramp. I get the same benefits as if I am doing the press-ups and downs. 

By swimming, you stretch your arms and kick your legs in the water to move. There is much gain to get in swimming. Your body relaxed against the water that absorbed your tension. Swimming is one of the best natural exercises I know like walking.  Leisurely jogging and moderate running will build a strong and healthy body. 

These schedules should not be tight, but flexible. You can change them any time to adapt to a situation. At other times, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays are convenient for me to go jogging outside. It all depends on how engage I am with other work loads. Let any bodily exercise you schedule be flexible enough.

Begin to cultivate a habit to do some physical activities weekly, two or three times in the week.

Vigorous Physical Activities

 This includes running, jogging, brisk walking, swimming and aerobic. Cycling, playing sports games like baseball, soccer, tennis and badminton benefits. Dancing your time away is a good physical activity as seen in aerobic dancing. In fact, any sporting activity that keeps the body strong and healthy is good.

 I do not recommend violent sports like kick boxing and wrestling that wounds, maim and kills; because not every person can take part in such an activity. These are not real physical activities. These come under one word “fight.” 

You can take any aerobic activity in the leisurely or moderate form and then build up your activity vigorously later in a short time of 2 minutes. In other words, you can start the jumping jack leisurely, then moderately and catapult it into a vigorous activity for just a minute or two.

Too much vigorous exercise is said to be bad for the body. It can damage muscles, bone, tendon and ligaments.

Playing games like football, basket ball, tennis, badminton leisurely is a tonic for both the mind and body. It builds better and excellent health.

Professional athletics or sports men and women know very well what they are into. With their tailor cut menu of scientific formulate nutrition and so on, including technical support, they are always in a competitive mood to excel or surpass fellow athletes.  The risk in such an activity is high. The merits speak honor, money and fame. 

Health Benefits

 Sound physical activities develop the major muscles of the body. The muscles of the leg, hip, back, abdomen and chest; shoulder and arm are affected positively. The jumping jack, the press ups and downs and push and pull can make strong these muscles. This is not a body building task but a simple means to keep the body in good sharp, fit and healthy. Jogging and running develops the thigh and leg muscles. Jogging regularly for 30 minutes, two or three times a week increases the heart beat and push your blood all over your body. This will carry much essential food nutrients all over the body. You can increase your jogging time to 2 hours 30 minutes in the week. Over this time limit, you are doing your body a great harm.

Swimming in the open water and in a swimming pool will make your leg muscles strong. I am a good jogger and swimmer. It keeps me fit and alert. I jog in my living room if I cannot do it outside during a heavy thunderstorm and heavy rainfall. Swimming in the open water is fine provided you live near a riverbank or sea side.

I mentioned above that a nursing mother massage her baby’s body to tone it strong. Do you recalled that while in school you are required to take an active role in scheduled exercise? But now that we are grown up and have left school, most of us do not bother again about stretching and kicking like the horse. We turn on the TV and sat for hours to watch a show. We put a disc in the player and sat down for the streaming entertainment. We end up with one ailment or two; perhaps a stiff back or a tensed joint.

Plan a physical activity today. It will tone your body muscles healthy.

To your good health!
