HowtoBehealthypeople - Are you feel hard to fit in fitness? Just getting through a day of school and after-school commitments can leave most of us wondering where to find time — and if all the running around we do counts as exercise. (It does. But if it's the only exercise we get, it's usually not enough.)
What more should we do? First, try to make sure aerobic activity adds up to more than 60 minutes a day. Aerobic activity is anything that gets your heart going — like biking, dancing, or running. Then take a few minutes for some strength training. Exercises like the ones below help build muscle to boost metabolism and keep joints working well. Flexibility is the third component of well-rounded exercise. Check out yoga as one way to stay flexible.
You can do these three strength-building exercises at home. It is no need for special equipment, expensive gym fees, or lots of time. Just check with your doctor, PE teacher, or coach first to be sure these exercises are OK for you. These are some exercises to get a healthy body :
- Sit Backs
- Chair Squats
- Butterfly Breath
About sets and repetitions most fitness instructor recomend repeating a particular strength training excercise several times in a row. These are known as repetitions, or "reps" and they 're done in "sets". Each sets consists of a specific number of reps, usually between 8 and 15.
Fitness instructors often recommend that people rest after one set and then perform another set (or more) of the same number of sets. For the excercises shown above, start with 10 reps, adding sets of 10 as you get comfortable. Rest for 30 seconds between sets.
