Are you injured?
There are few things more discouraging than being injured during a workout routine. It can be a little disheartening when you are making an effort to get healthier and suffer pain as a result. The holiday season inspires us for so many things, and the drive to get healthier is part of the equation. Many people want to counteract the effects of overeating during the holidays or get an early start on their efforts to improve for the upcoming year. This is why there is an increased number of joggers and walkers braving the weather. Exercise is great for improving your health; however, it is also an important to get healing if you are injured.
The best approach
Good health requires a holistic approach, and not just exercise. This means eating the right foods, taking healthy supplements such as vitamins and minerals, and getting enough sleep. This should all be in addition to the proper level of exercise. The best chiropractors in Charlotte can help you determine an appropriate level of exercise is for you individually. Schedule a visit for an evaluation before you start your workout routine.
Aerobic exercise
Aerobic exercise is training or exercising while consuming oxygen. The benefit of this type of training is that it strengthens your heart, lowers blood pressure, and increases metabolism. A basic rule of thumb is that if you are gasping for air, you are probably not getting sufficient oxygen to the muscles. The following are ideal aerobic activities:
- Walking
- Jogging
- Swimming
- Bicycling
- Hiking
- Beginning step class
Anaerobic exercise
Anaerobic exercise is training without oxygen. You perform short periods of sustained exercise, usually with bursts of high intensity or repetition. Anaerobic repetitions should not last more than 60 seconds. The intent is to build muscle and increase strength. Anaerobic exercise can reduce your risk of injury to joints and ligaments. The following activities are examples of anaerobic activity:
- Weight Lifting
- Wind sprints
- Soccer
- Basketball
