Types of exercise !

well,we had discussed about the diet,and I had mentioned a little bit about exercise...
we will continue this topic !
there are some easy exercises which we can perform everyday and we don't have to spend much time on them !

1. endurance activity. Be sure to get at least 30 minutes of activity that makes you breathe harder on most or all days of the week.

2. Keep using your muscles. When muscles aren't used, they waste away at any age.
What does it mean ? It means we have to exercise our leg muscles by walking,instead of taking lift.

3. Do things to help your balance. Is it too hard ? The answer is "No". Eg. Stand up from sitting in a chair without using your hands or arms. It's easy...

4. Stretch ! Stretching can help keep you flexible. You will be able to move more freely. Stretch when your muscles are warmed up. Never stretch so far that it hurts.

Apart of encouraging people to exercise,we must think about the safety too !
Here are some safety tips which we must be know !

1. We must start slowly. Little by little build up your activities,for example,start with 10mins and then prolong to 20mins after 2-3weeks.

2. Use safety equipment to keep you from getting hurt. "Prevention is better than cure". For example,when you are cycling,use helmet to prevent trauma.

3. Always warm up your muscles before you stretch. NEVER start any exercises without warming up !!

4. Be sure to drink plenty when you are doing activities that make you sweat. Fluid is too important to our body !

Let's start exercising and keep our body healthy !! ;)
