Benefits of Exercise

It is well documented that activity within society has fallen considerably in the past quarter of a century. This has led to a rise in obesity and therefore many health related problems. However by making positive changes to an inactive lifestyle these problems are reduced. A great deal of research has showed that performing regular exercise improves the status of many health related problems, which include:
- Coronary Heart Disease
- High Cholesterol
- High Blood Pressure
- Obesity
- Osteoporosis
- Stress
- Muscular/Skeletal Problems

This all depends on the individual. Someone who wishes to improve their current health and fitness status would need to gradually increase intensity, frequency or duration of their exercise regime.
ACSM (American College of Sports and Medicine) recommend that an exercise regime should equate to no less than 2 and a half hours and 1000 calories per week. However, individuals who are just starting to exercise should take things slowly. When considering these options it is best to seek advice from a health and fitness professional.

Improving blood pressure, cholesterol, obesity, stress and many other health related problems can be achieved using a variety of cardiovascular endurance exercise and resistance training.
However programmes should be unique to the individual depending on their health/fitness status and the availability of exercise tools. With this in mind an effective programme can be developed in order to successfully achieve their goals.
