Simple Steps To Improve Your Physical and Emotional Comfort Level
Posted by Ken Lauher
A complete fitness program includes exercises to enhance flexibility, strength, and endurance. Improving suppleness in the body improves your physical and emotional comfort level and reduces your chances for injury. Yoga, tai chi, and qigong all expand flexibility while enhancing mind/body integration. At least ten minutes of gentle, conscious stretching should be a part of every exercise warm-up routine.
Unfortunately, we see too many people who have the good intention to start exercising, but fail to take the time to warm up properly. As a result, they strain a muscle or pull a ligament and are unable to continue the fitness program they need.
Building strength enhances vitality and reverses a common feature of aging known as
sarcopenia. This word, coined by researchers at Tufts University, means "lack of flesh." Weakness, reduced muscle mass, and increased body fat are well-known consequences of inactivity. But they can all be reversed through strength training. Improving muscle tone through weight-bearing exercises can also improve your posture and reduce back pain.
If you are dealing with chronic low-back problems and believe you cannot exercise, start slowly to build your back and abdominal muscle strength and your pain will diminish.
There are emotional and psychological benefits of exercise. Hundreds of studies attest to the value of regular exercise on your mood and mental state. These are some of the psychological benefits that have been shown with exercise:
- Less Depression
- Less anxiety
- Less anger
- Less cynical distrust
- Improved self-esteem
- Better resilience to stress
- Improved sleep
Exercise gives you a greater sense of confidence and competence. It is good for your body and good for your mind.
