Some people think that exercising with the help self-learned routines are enough to burn fats and be healthy. Unfortunately, specific exercise routines may work for some, while remains ineffective for others. Thus, necessitating particular practices applicable for everyone.
There are specific exercises intended for ages according to studies. People in their 20s should take different routines distinct from those in their 30s and 40s and so forth.
People between 20 to 29 years-old should be aware of cardiovascular fitness level, which can help predict how healthy a person is and how he would be years later. A recent study conducted by JAMA Internal Medicine involved individuals in their 20s and had them do a treadmill test.
The researchers gradually increased the speed and inclined so as to track how long the participants could last. The study yield to a conclusion later that those who lasted at least 10 minutes had a 50 percent lower risk of death and even 40 percent lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Those who completed 6 minutes of the test and below have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and early death.
The researchers advised people in their 20s to have at least 30 minutes of moderate cardio exercise 5 days a week. Yoga is also highly recommended for this period if life involves a lot of pressure that can lead to chronic stress.
Those who are in their 30s should have a different routine of exercise to take. "Due to the slower metabolism, you could gain up to 2 pounds of fat every year," Huffingtonpost quotes Mike Siemens, director of exercise physiology at Canyon Ranch Health Resort, in Tucson, Arizona, saying.
The best routine to take should involve interval training to keep the body keep burning calories even after stopping the exercise. It is also highly recommended to lift heavy weights.
Individuals in their 40s are recommended to have more exercise. Regular exercise helps protect the telomeres, which are the stretches of DNA on the ends of chromosomes that get shorter over time. If these telomeres are not protected, the cells will become much vulnerable to damage.
Exercises are good but taking healthy foods and keeping a peaceful heart will make it perfect. A doctor from Hawaii, Dr. Terry Shintani, calls this Peace Diet. Peace is the key to longevity and healthy living.
