Getting ACTIVE
Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance. Exercise delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and helps your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. And when your heart and lung health improve, you have more energy to tackle daily chores.
Basic exercise tips include:
- Vary your heart rate by knowing your maximum heart rate (220-age) and your target heart rate (65%-85% of maximum heart rate). Track your resting heart rate and if overtime you notice a steady increase, speak with your doctor
- Include various types of exercise into your weekly movement including cardio, stretching, strength, and balance.
- Watch videos about proper form to avoid unnecessary injuries
- Try to create a routine where exercise and movement become a healthy habit
- Shoot for 15-20 minutes reaching your target heart rate every day and include strength training 3-5 times per week
- Speak with a certified personal training (recommendation of ACSM, NASM, or ACE certified)
