Benefits of physical activity and exercises
Friends, life is a matter of priorities and the topmost priority should be taking care of our body. It is not only important to have a healthy appearance but the most important thing is to maintain an acceptable level of quality of life. Keeping this in mind, people must be aware of the importance of practice of physical activity in their daily lives.
Some people with physiological imbalances like people suffering from diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, etc. wait for their doctor to give them the alarm to improve physical activity but why we should wait to have a problem to put solutions afterwards? Why not we use the means to prevent potential problems in our bodies before they convert into a major disease? The sooner a person will start to include healthy activities in his/her life, the more chances that person will have to enjoy a healthy and active life.
For harvesting lifelong benefits from physical activity, it is better to make a workout timetable by choosing at least 3 days a week to practice physical activity in a controlled manner, as in our busy daily life, we are overwhelmed by our obligations and responsibilities and sometimes forget about the most important thing of being careful to undertake all these activities properly. Physical activity is also compatible with any domestic or daily activity and can be combined with weight training in our house using elastic bands, dumbbells, exercise bike, etc. We can also go for a short walk with our children or can do bicycling or self-loading exercises in a park while our children are playing.
