AEROBIC TRAINING-THE ESSENTIAL HEALTH BENEFITS
August 13, 2009Before you take up any other type of exercise it is essential to first build a good aerobic base. Aerobic training helps your lungs work more efficiently, it helps your blood to flow better, it increases your blood supply, helps you grow healthier tissues, improves heart function, aids digestion and elimination, helps you sleep better, provides stress relief and improves your sense of well-being. Need I say more?
In all my years as a coach the most common mistake I see people make is they go too hard and burn out (the exercise roller coaster). You don’t need to go out and take up marathon running. You don’t need fancy equipment, you don’t need to join the gym just find an aerobic activity that you enjoy, work out at your target heart rate, warm up before you start and cool down when you finish. There are many formulas for optimizing your workout but don’t overcomplicate it. Start slowly and remember doing something is better than doing nothing at all!
