The Anti Aging Exercise Program

By: Marianna Pells

Doing just one kind of physical activity isn't going to have an effect on the aging process. Instead of resorting to solutions that are likely to end up futile, get yourself to do varying activities. Besides, this is a more enjoyable way to fight the signs of aging, preserve good health and continue being physically dynamic.

Watching TV all day isn't going to do the trick. When age finally catches up with you, you'll gradually become more incapable of doing things you use to love doing. Plan an exercise regimen where you can do strength, aerobic and flexibility activities to stop aging on its tracks.

Strength Training

When you do strength activities aging simply slows down. Strength training helps your bones and muscles grow stronger. Without exercise, you lose a great deal of your muscle tone. This means that your muscles won't be able to hold up your skeleton effectively. You will have recurring back pain and a deteriorating posture.

The benefits of strength training include toned muscles, tighter skin, prevention of arthritis and a higher metabolic rate. A raised metabolic rate enables our bodies to burn energy effectively even at rest. Strength training could be done by lifting weights (as in weight training), through resistance training (resisting opposing forces), and isometric training (training requiring no net movement). It is advised to do strength training 2-3 times a week.

If you're just exercising, isometric training is the best activity to start with, since it causes less tension. You're only required to flex your muscles repetitively, without really applying a range of movements.

Aerobic Workout

Doing an aerobic workout is the best activity anyone can do to delay the aging process. Anyone from a child to an adult can do cardiovascular exercises. Cardiovascular exercises involve running, brisk-walking, and other exercises that require more endurance than full-on power.

Getting yourself to do an aerobic workout means helping your blood circulate through your body. When blood circulation is healthy, oxygen is carried through efficiently. This enables you to think more clearly, better coordinate your movements and quickly respond. Unhealthy blood circulation may result in faintness, headaches, heart disease and dementia.

Benefits of aerobic training are improved endurance, reduced psychological and emotional stress, and lower blood pressure. At least 20 minutes of aerobic exercise everyday is advised.

Flexibility Workout

Flexibility training is an important part of any anti aging exercise plan. Stretching for example is always advised before doing cardiovascular or strength training. Doing flexibility training improves joint health as well as skeletal and muscular function so that you are able to perform different activities with maximum effectiveness.

Doing a flexibility workout minimizes the distress caused by joint conditions and gives way to better physical movement. Just 30 seconds of this type of workout a day enhances movement and flexibility.

Merging strength, aerobic and flexibility workouts in one exercise program can give you the anti aging effects of strength, speed, balance and alertness.
