Stress Busters for Eco-Innovators
Commit to Be Fit
In today's fast-paced world, maintaining your regular exercise regimen is not just a lifestyle choice, but a critical component for holistic health and well-being. At the heart of its numerous benefits is the improvement in cardiovascular health. Regular physical activity strengthens the heart, significantly reducing the risk of heart diseases and strokes. Beyond the heart, exercise plays a vital role in weight management by balancing caloric intake with the energy burned. Regular exercise strengthens muscles and improves bone density, substantially lowering the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. For the respiratory system, an exercise regimen increases lung capacity and the efficiency of oxygen exchange which leads to better endurance and a reduced risk of respiratory diseases. Exercise releases endorphins, natural mood lifters and painkillers, significantly reducing the risk of depression, anxiety, and aiding in stress management. Additionally, physical activity is known to boost immunity, reducing the risk of chronic diseases and infections.
Embarking on an exercise journey might seem daunting, but the key is in choosing activities you enjoy. That way, you are more likely to create a sustainable and healthy habit of exercise. Incorporate strength training at least one to two days per week, ensuring a day of rest in between working the same muscle groups. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise on most of the days of the week. Interval training, which involves getting your heart rate up for 45 seconds, repeated 8 times over 15 minutes, is also an efficient way to improve cardiovascular health in a shorter time frame.
Starting your exercise journey with manageable goals and gradually increasing intensity and duration will lead to long-term success and a healthier, happier you.
