What is the appropriate type of exercise for you

For whatever reason you decide to exercise, or to obtain a body of beautiful lines, either for your good health, or to lose weight or to increase your athletic performance, it is important to choose the right type of exercise for you.

Only then can achieve your goal, because the benefits of exercise are achieved only through systematic and long-term engagement with it. Here we will try to focus on the basic factors that will help select the right type of exercise for you:

Choose a type of exercise that you enjoy so that you do not get bored but stimulates your daily interest.

Select more than one type of exercise. By then the same type of exercise is not only boring, but might lead to stagnation or increase your risk of injury. There are different types of exercise for strength workout (exercises with dumbbells), resistance (spinning) and elasticity (pilates-yoga). There are also types of exercise indoors (gym) or outdoors (track).

Differentiate the intensity of your exercise. An intense day of exercise, it may be wise to follow a more benign. The novice athlete following lower intensities than the more advanced and less frequently during the week. So does the eldest.

Choose a type of exercise that is inexpensive and easily approachable. The walking, jogging on the road, cycling, swimming, swimming in the summer and dance are some such activities.

Do some of your daily activities part of your exercise program, especially if you do not have the time needed to do something else. If the distance to allow, go walking or cycling to work, use the stairs instead of the elevator, pull the dog for a walk or do intense housework.

Choose types of exercise that does not depend on good weather, so you do not have an excuse to avoid exercise. For example squash, swimming in indoor pool, gym.

Enjoy team sports or group lessons at the gym, if you believe that this will increase your interest in exercise. The competition and the social approach of exercise make people try harder.

Choose a type of exercise depending on the health problems that might face. If you are hypertensive or diabetic, do aerobic exercise. If you have back pain make appropriate strengthening exercises (abs - dorsal), if you have asthma, do not swim in the pool, if you have atrophy, prefer exercises with resistance, etc.

Choose a personal trainer, if you think that your knowledge on the subject is incomplete for your particular goals. A qualified trainer will design for you in your personal exercise plan, will encourage and will assist in the proper execution.

Finally, we must stress that anyone type of exercise you choose, and any strategy you follow, to stay committed to your goals should remember to move forward slowly and gradually.

Do not push yourself too much and do not rush. The benefits of exercise come in the weeks, months and years rather than one day to another.
