Howdy guys !!
I will make it a brief post here. I think these 5 exercises will really help you in becoming healthier and getting slimmer.
1. Running – Well, any of you who know me will realize how much I love Running and it has greatly impacted my Life in a very positive way. Remember, to start off slow and build up after you become more confident and your body adjusts appropriately.
2. Swimming - This has been one of my favorite Summer activities and one of my best complimetary activities to Running. One good thing about Swimming is that you get a good cardiovascular workout without the wear and tear on joints that you might get with Running !
3. Walking – For those who are older and for those who have weaker joints, ligaments, or tendons this could be an ideal exercise to take up. Just remember to keep the pace brisk and you will see some good results on your heart and lungs.
4. Boxing or Shadow Boxing – This activity has been known for many years to be one of the greatest activities to burn calories. There is no doubt about it. I remember when I was in junior high I boxed in intramurals and after a few minutes my body was spent. Shadow boxing done in a similar manner will see the same results !! And you can do this almost anywhere !
5. Mountain Biking – I just love this sport. It has been awhile since I have been able to participate in it. But I know when I did it, it proved to be a great cardio activity along with developing the upper body. And it also puts limited stress on your joints.
Hope this helps in finding a suitable exercise that matches your needs.
