Exercise and Its Type

In this chapter, I will tell you about different types of exercises and their effects on different aspects of your life and health.

1.  Exercise to improve bone and muscle strength 
2.  Flexibility increasing exercises 
3.  Cardiovascular exercise 
4.  Aerobics 

Exercise To Improve Bone and Muscle Strength

These exercises are also called strength and resistance increasing exercises. Most of the people take body building as strength and resistance increasing exercise but you need to know that body building is another category of exercise in which the primary goal of the person is to enhance muscle growth.

 You can add some weight lifting and body building in your fat burning and weight control plan but you should do it to an extent where your body can bear it without any problem. If you over tried this exercise then, your whole body can be a mess. I have seen people joining gyms and doing hard exercise just by watching other people doing it. This is not the way to go instead consult your trainer personally and ask him about appropriate exercises which can fit in your needs. If your weight is under control and you need just light exercise to keep your healthy system going then, you do not need to lift heavy weights.

Flexibility increasing exercises

Second type of exercise plan can be to increase your flexibility and in more common terms you can say that if you used to have pain in your arms, legs, lower back, neck and other similar areas of your body then, you need to make your body more flexible. Flexibility will increase resistance and you will be able to cope with more difficult positions and postures easily. You have to go through different postures in daily life for example if you work in an office then, you can be given an uncomfortable chair at times or you may be given some work in which you have to concentrate hard on computer screen and you cannot rest your back with chair. In these situations, if you do not have any flexibility in your body then, it will create problems but regular flexibility exercises which will not take more than 10-15 minutes of your time, will increase this flexibility and will make you feel better and active.

Cardiovascular exercise

Cardio means heart and vascular means the vessels of blood and this whole phrase means that these exercises improve the functionality of your lungs and make the use of oxygen more effective and rectify any heart problems which you can have. These exercises are little time consuming and should be properly learned from your doctor or trainer. Most of the times, people who already have got some heart problem perform these kinds of exercises to avoid any future problems.

 Aerobics

Aerobics are the last type of exercises which are most helpful for maintaining a healthy body. These exercises are very simple and they do not need any special preparation and time frame for execution. If you just get up early in the morning and do some dancing then, this is also a type of aerobics but most of the aerobics are for young and energetic people as some difficult angels and twists are included in this exercise routine. You need to first learn this exercise from some professional trainer of aerobics and once you have learnt them then, these exercises will not require more than 10 minutes of your daily time.
