Regular exercising is an option to live an ailment free, fit
and active life. We are advised to exercise from those who never exercise
themselves and by our acquaintances, who are good in maintaining their fitness.
In both ways there are very few who can advise on the perfect way to exercise.
Merely running, zumba, aerobics or pocho-pocho cannot do any good to our health
if we do not know how to get the maximum benefits from our workouts.
People are greatly aware of the benefits of exercises but
the misconceptions and little knowledge about doing it correctly are the
obstacles that stop them to pursue it actively. Practicing a few essentials is
necessary to get the most of our efforts. To receive the maximum benefits from
your workout regimen you need to focus on your breathing style, your posture
and the stretches. These three strategies enhance your resistance and also
allow you to burn more calories in order to maintain your desired weight.
Maintaining the Correct Posture
Accurate posture is an ultimate prerequisite for a healthy
existence in many ways. One should know the importance of a correct posture to
avoid various back and neck discomforts and pains. The right posture also helps
in reducing fatigue during the workouts and even in daily routine. Posture
affects joints, muscles and skeleton structure throughout the body and
especially the backbone. Here are signs of a perfect posture which are
necessary to maintain during all the workouts:
- Upright head positioned to keep the ears over the shoulders
- Shoulders should be rolled back at the joints
- Upper back should not be arched or humped - stay tall
- An arc in lower back is also vital by keeping the belly button in and hips neutralKnees should be relaxed and slightly bent
Breathing is what we perform throughout life without giving
it a thought but surprisingly most of us do not know how to breathe properly.
We inhale for oxygen and exhale to remove carbon dioxide. Proper breathing
pattern is an important factor to get the most of your exercise regimen. It is
important to inhale deeply filling the lungs.
Regular practice of properly breathing is great for overall
health that also helps in improving your lung capacity. Keeping a conscious eye
on your breathing while working out assists you in maintaining your heart rate
and making your body respond more efficiently to the workouts. During workouts
the body needs greater amounts of oxygen and it automatically increases the
respiration rate. You need to focus on breathing while performing aerobics,
yoga poses or with lifting the weights to feel more comfortable. For all exercises
it is important to focus on inhaling and exhaling continuously. Continuous
airflow through your lungs is crucial for a healthy exercise regimen and to get
the maximum benefits of your fitness efforts.
Stretching Well
Stretching well is important to prevent muscle soreness and
injury risks during the exercises. Stretching increases your range of motion
which helps you in every movement of your workout regimen. Stretching can
improve your overall fitness via enhancing your flexibility and reducing injury
risk. Flexibility is necessary to increase you range of motion and to improve
your physical performance.
Stretching properly, before and after any workout, is
recommended to increase the blood flow. It alleviates the muscular stiffness
and keeps you tension free throughout the day. Stretching as part of a cool
down activity helps in muscle recovery after the exercise regimen. It is
recommended to contact your health adviser before embarking on any stretching
routine or new exercise routine.
