How to exercise to stay healthy

We all know that people are under great pressure in life nowadays. We are usually busy and basically lack exercise. Our bodies are in a sub-healthy state and we may suffer from diseases at any time. Therefore, proper physical exercise can effectively improve and ensure that there are no abnormalities in our bodies. So, how can we exercise healthily? Let’s take a closer look at the relevant situation.

Based on the nature of sports, fitness can be divided into "aerobic training" and "anaerobic training". Aerobic training is a type of long-distance endurance training, also known as "cardiopulmonary function training." It is achieved through continuous and repeated activities, at a certain speed and intensity within a certain period of time, requiring a certain amount of exercise to be completed, so that the heart rate can be gradually increased to the prescribed maximum and minimum safe heart rate range. Anaerobic training is short-distance, fast and lack of endurance training, also known as "strength training".

Before you decide whether to do cardio or strength training, first, it's important to determine your fitness goals. If you like to shape your muscles, you don't need to do long-term cardiopulmonary training; if your goal is to lose body fat and enhance muscle endurance, the most effective training method is to combine cardiopulmonary training with strength training. You can do cardiopulmonary exercise as often as you like, but remember: when you do strength training, you must let your muscles rest alternately (that is, if you do upper limb strength training today, then let your upper limb muscles rest for a day tomorrow and switch to strength training for lower limbs or other parts of the body).

Recent studies have shown that if you do strength training first and then cardiopulmonary training the next day, ensuring three days of exercise per week, your body fat will be effectively converted into energy for muscle training, while increasing metabolism and enhancing muscle endurance. This combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercise will allow you to truly have a healthy and fit body.

Alternating exercise sports experts point out that regular alternating exercise can exercise the physiological functions of various systems of the human body alternately, and is a good way of self-care.

Alternate aerobic and anaerobic exercise. Regardless of age, people should combine anaerobic exercise (generally referring to strenuous exercise such as weightlifting and 100-meter sprint) with aerobic exercise (generally referring to slow and gentle exercise such as walking, Tai Chi, jogging, cycling, etc.).

The above is an introduction to how to exercise healthily. I hope it will be helpful to everyone’s understanding. Nowadays people are under great pressure in life, but we must pay attention to our health. It is best to take time to do physical exercise according to your own interests. You can also go to a regular gym and exercise under the guidance of professional coaches to ensure that our body is in a healthy state.
