In The Swim With Aerobics
Creating a personal aerobics exercise program to supplement your
health regime is very beneficial to most people. Your choices
must satisfy you both mentally as well as physically. Individual
tastes must be taken into account if the regime is likely to be
a success, and long-lasting. There are a number of health tips which
you will find invaluable in making your decision as to which
exercise routine suits your needs, and can be incorporated into
your daily life.
Walking is excellent for general health, and is probably the
best choice for people who have been inactive for many years. It
is convenient, inexpensive and easy. Health tips for walkers
include measuring your walk by time, not by mileage, and to
challenge yourself but don't overdo it. Walk comfortably and
naturally, maintaining good posture following your natural gait.
Walking requires no equipment apart from a good pair of walking
shoes. People who walk for exercise have the lowest drop out
rate of all.
Jogging is excellent for weight control and cardiovascular
conditioning. Many people love to jog, but joggers must guard
against injury. Jogging stresses both knees and ankles. Tips
include to begin slowly, monitor your intensity level and never
run "through the pain". Get a good pair of running shoes which
provide support and shock absorbtion. Wear loose and comfortably
fitting clothes. Measure your progress by the time you spend
jogging, rather than the distance covered.
Water based exercises are easy for most people, and a gentle way
to get back into the habit of exercising. Water walking is a
good aerobic activity and is tremendously rehabilitating. The
buoyancy of the water allows you to move your arms and legs in a
controlled fashion, thus reducing orthopedic concerns. Pool
aerobics gives a good cardiovascular workout by using water as
the medium of resistance during twenty to thirty minutes of
continuous and rhythmic exercise.
Swimming is also a great choice for aerobic conditioning. You
don't have to be a great swimmer in order to get a good workout.
The strengthening and toning benefits of lap swimming are well
documented. Health tips include varying your strokes to work all
of the major muscle groups in the body, and investing in good
quality eye goggles for comfort and relief from chlorine. Also,
consider using ear-plugs, especially if you are prone to ear
infections, or if water in your ears bothers you. As with most
of these aerobic exercises, the best health tip of all is to
start slowly, and built up your intensity over time.
Whichever aerobics regime you select; implementing the health
tips will ensure that you gain all the benefits of the exercise,
in a safe manner. You will enhance your life, and health, while
doing something you enjoy - the best health tip of all!
