subject: How Exercise Can Help You [print this page] There are several types of diets and nutritional programs to follow and they all are best used with the implementation of an intelligent exercise program. There are two different types of exercise programs, aerobic exercie and anaerobic exercise.
Aerobic exercises are slow-paced exercises, such as walking and jogging, that require the use of oxygen. Anearobic exercise are exercises that are fast paced, intense and short, such as sprinting. Due to anearobic exercise being short burst of intense exercise, there is no need for oxygen to be present.
Weight lifting is an anearobic exercise which is done with a multitude of sets. A set could be 6 to 12 repetitions, immediately followed by another set with a short break between sets. At the start of the set, there is less oxygen transferred to the muscles along with the creation of lactic acid. More exercises mean more production of lactic acid which will be transferred to the bloodstream. While lactic acid increases, it creates muscular fatigue. This is the exact reason that anaerobic exercises only last for a short period of time.
Controlling the amount of lactic acid that is produced is done with the training of your body. A buffer is created that slows the exhaustion in the muscles of the body. Lactic acid is further reduced through more exercise which further produces the buffering chemical. As you exercise more and more, you may raise the resistance, distance or cycle. It is very much dependent on the kind of exercises you are doing. With this exercise, you have also raised your muscle mass and your energy levels. As your muscles get bigger, more energy is needed to move the muscles which will in turn burn more energy and fat. This procedure runs through our body while we are resting or sleeping, acting as fat burning machine.
It has been proven through different studies that lactic acid buffering capacity rises by 12% to 50% with the different kinds of anaerobic training. With the large amount of buffering capacity, it is observed that more lactic acid can be produced even at the time of training. It will not cause any stress. This will make you much more powerful, making even the most difficult tasks much simplier. Whether it is a hard task like climbing steps or a very simple task like getting out of the car, this exercise will make these tasks even simpler. This is based on your losing fat and getting into great condidtion.
The anaerobic exercises should be done last. It is much better to start with the aerobic exercise first as they are not as difficult as the anaerobic ones. Doing aerobic exercise for two weeks will build up your endurance. This will prepare you for the difficult anaerobic exercises.
There are many advantages to exercising on a daily basis, such as attaining great health and strength. Everybody should engage in an intelligent and balanced exercise regimen so they can live healthier lives without disease or any other ailment.
