The countless comforts that technology provides us today
have simplified our lives, but with a price! An unhealthy body! Problems in disguise of diabetes, hyper
tension, chronic heart diseases, high blood pressure and more recently obesity
have paved their way into our so called comfortable life, creating perilous
threat to our lives.
To combat these problems you need to exercise vigorously
enough to speed up your heart rate and keep it up for at least 20 minutes!
Because it takes at least that long for your heart to work hard enough for you
to experience cardiovascular and endorphin benefits. Get your heart rate up and
keep it up for at least 20 minutes per session, ideally daily. Huff and puff a
little. Break out in a sweat. Burn energy. Move fast. A vigorous aerobic
activity session for 45 minutes every other day is a good alternative. It
builds your endurance, strengthens your heart, and increases your lung
capacity.
It releases
endorphins, those wonderful mood-elevating brain chemicals.
Health Benefits are:
ª
Tones the muscles and makes them stronger.
ª
Increases your speed, balance, flexibility,
coordination and sharpens reflexes.
ª
Reduces stress. Aerobic activity is one of the
most successful STRESS-BUSTER programs in the Fitness industry globally.
ª

If you are one of
those frustrated of bulging tummy, double chin, sagging arms and extra fats, Aerobic
Activity can be your efficient fat burner.
