Incorporating Physical Activity into Your Daily Routine




Bodybuilding Sins That Cause Back Pain And Missed Workouts: Part 3
Welcome to article number 2 in our series Bodybuilding Sins That Cause Back Pain and Missed Workouts. In this article we are going to talk .....


You already know that getting at least 30 minutes of exercise

each and every day is good for you, but putting that assertion

into actual practice is an entirely different matter, right?

Contrary to what you might think, making physical activity an

everyday habit isn't rocket science. There's no secret code for

success waiting to be cracked. In fact, it's something that can

be worked into your usual routine with minimal, sometimes no,

interruption or adjustment.

Yoga Therapy for Better Health

Yoga therapy has been in practice for centuries as a means of attaining both physical and mental health. This article takes a brief look at the role of .....


The U.S. Surgeon General, the American Heart Association and

many other reputable health organizations all agree that 30

minutes of moderate-intensity workout is optimal on most, if not

all, days of the week. The good news is that they also all

concur that this recommended prescription doesn't have to be

taken all in one large dose. While the American College of

Sports Medicine (ACSM) once called for continuous exercise of 20

minutes' duration or longer, new guidelines allow for bouts of

physical activity (as few as 10 minutes at a time)

intermittently spread throughout the day.



When viewed in this manner, 10 minutes of exercise three times a

day becomes a much more manageable goal than 30 uninterrupted

minutes. Even the busiest executive and the most stressed-out

mom can carve out 360 seconds for the sake of improving his or

her physical, mental and emotional well-being. In fact, regular

physical activity can even be considered a lifesaving practice.

That's because it's been proven to extend life by warding off

many chronic and deadly conditions like heart attacks, diabetes

and strokes.



Now that the logistics are out of the way, the question becomes:

What constitutes 'moderate-intensity' activity? In concrete

terms, the 30-minute recommendation breaks down to two to three

miles of walking a day at a rate of 3-4 miles per hour, or to

burning 200 calories per day. This aim coincides with the

popular 10,000 Steps program, which can easily be reached with

the assistance of a RYP Sports pedometer. Simple things like

parking your car farther away from your office or taking the

stairs instead of the elevator can quickly add up to that target

number.



For those who don't enjoy walking or running, there are many

other activities that constitute moderate-intensity exertion,

many of which are necessary and/or fun tasks that fit right in

with your normal routine. Gardening, raking leaves, mowing the

lawn, mall strolling and dancing all fill the bill. In fact, 30

minutes spent playing tag with your kids in the yard burns the

equivalent amount of calories as yoga, horseback riding and

walking at a pace of four miles per hour on a level surface.



So, before you use the excuse that you're too busy to schedule

exercise into your daily grind, reconsider. Play Frisbee with

the kids, take the dog for a jog around the block, even get some

much-needed cleaning done around the house. In no time flat

you'll have reached your intended exercise goal, often without

even realizing it!
