How to fit physically?

Cardiovascular

Cardiovascular activity refers to any physical activity that increases heart rate and blood pressure. When you have a well-developed cardiovascular system, your body is able to use oxygen efficiently. Your cardiovascular system is responsible for supplying your muscles with the oxygen they need to function at peak performance. In addition, exercising regularly provides your body with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, all of which help prevent muscle damage, increase bone density, enhance immune systems, and improve mood. Even though the benefits of exercise are many, not everyone enjoys physical activity. If you’re looking into ways to get fit, cardio workouts may be just what you need.

Strength training

Strength training builds muscle mass while burning calories. Many people try to build muscle using free weights (e.g., barbells and weight machines), which require heavy lifting and high repetitions. But these types of exercises don’t allow for much rest between sets or even movement. Instead, strength training should focus on lighter loads and fewer reps. you can accomplish this by doing more reps with less weight or increasing your load over time.

Flexibility & balance

Flexibility and balance are important components of good fitness. Regular stretching helps reduce stiffness and strengthen connective tissues. Stretching before working out helps calm down your nervous system and prepares your body for physical activities. Balance training involves performing movements in various directions and heights to improve coordination and stability. Practicing balance training moves your body to adapt to changing conditions, whether they’re indoors or outdoors.

Core strength

Core strength training focuses on strengthening abdominal, back, and pelvic stabilizing muscles, including transverse abdominis, rectus abdominisa, multifidus, internal oblique’s, and erector spinae. These muscles are responsible for maintaining posture, supporting spine curvature, providing stabilization for your pelvis and hips, and improving lower back pain prevention.

Endurance

Endurance is different than strength and cardio. While strength training improves endurance, endurance training improves muscle fatigue resistance and cardiovascular conditioning. Training your heart is great, but if you want to perform longer in your workout, endurance is where you need to put your focus. You can do this by running farther or faster, biking longer distances, or swimming further laps in a pool. You can also incorporate interval training into your routine. Interval training involves alternating intense bursts of effort with short recovery periods. This type of training increases your heart rate and thus burns fatter and increases your stamina. Intervals can be done on land or in water.

Workout routine

Warm-up (10 minutes)

Warm-up is the first step in any workout regimen, and is just as important as stretching. A warm-up helps reduce muscle tension and increase blood flow, which enhances the muscles’ ability to work efficiently throughout the rest of the workout. When warming up, try performing some light cardio exercises like jogging, jumping rope, skipping, walking lunges, and/or hopping. Also, perform dynamic stretches for 10-15 seconds at each joint area to prepare the body for movement.

Stretching (20 minutes)

While stretching is not technically a workout per se, it still warrants its own space in the program. By stretching before starting a workout, athletes can prevent injuries from occurring. Dynamic flexibility, static flexibility, and range of motion are three different types of flexibility. Dynamic flexibility refers to being able to move through ranges of motion without pain. Static flexibility means being able to hold those same positions over time. Range of motion means how much space your joints have in them. These three factors are what make us flexible. Static stretching involves holding a stretch for 20-30 seconds and moving though full ranges of motion. Dynamic stretching is similar, except you’re moving through the stretch rather than maintaining it. Dynamic stretches should include movements that target the major muscle groups. For example, if doing lunges, you would want to start at the ankle, move through the thigh, then back down to the knee. Static stretching works best after a hard workout or if you don’t feel like going through the motions of a vigorous workout. To do a static stretch, lie on your stomach and place both hands behind your head. Extend your legs straight out in front of you. Pulling your knees towards your chest while keeping your heels flat on the ground, gently push yourself backwards until you reach a comfortable position. Hold for 20-30 seconds, and repeat two times.

Cardio (10 minutes)

Cardiovascular training increases heart rate, thus increasing oxygen consumption, which stimulates the cells to release stored fat for fuel. Cardio does not necessarily mean running, sprinting, cycling, swimming, hiking, etc. Any aerobic activity that gets your heart pumping is acceptable. If you run, walk briskly; jump rope, play Frisbee, dance aerobically, play tennis, use a treadmill, or ride a bike. You can even do intervals by doing 30 seconds of high intensity interval training followed by 30 seconds of low intensity training.

Cool Down (10 minutes)

Cool down is the last stage of your workout, which should consist of resting and hydrating. Hydrate properly before and after working out. Inhaling water through your nose will help flush the fluids out of your sinuses and lungs. After exercising, drink plenty of H2O and eat something that contains electrolytes, such as Gatorade, PowerAde, or sports drinks. Try to avoid drinking alcohol before, during, or after working out. Alcohol dehydrates the body and lowers metabolic rate, making your workouts less effective. Drink only enough to stay hydrated, and remember to keep your mouth slightly open while sipping water. This will help ensure proper breathing and allow saliva to lubricate your throat so you can swallow comfortably.

Daily exercises

Flexibility

Flexibility is crucial for many reasons. First and foremost, flexibility enables us to move our bodies in certain ways that we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to do. Next, flexibility can help improve our balance and posture while strengthening our muscles. Lastly, flexibility helps increase our range of motion, which can aid in reducing back pain.

Core Strength

Your core is your foundation, just as flexibility is your foundation. When working out your core, you’re building muscle mass and making sure you have strong abs. This helps reduce back pain and injury, as well as strengthen your body and make you a stronger person.

Balance & Posture

Back pain is often caused by poor posture, which is why having good posture is necessary if you want to avoid back pain. To get proper posture, you need to make sure that your head is aligned correctly, your back straight, shoulders down, neck long, chest lifted, stomach pulled in, and heels firmly planted on the ground. You should always stand tall, have a wide base, and keep your knees slightly bent. If these things aren’t done properly, you risk developing bad posture and, depending on where you live, even back pain!

Range Of Motion

Range of motion refers to how much your joints and ligaments can bend without causing any kind of damage. Your range of motion varies between individuals. However, people who exercise regularly will probably have greater ranges of motion than those who don’t. Having good range of motion will not only allow you to stretch better, but will also prevent injuries due to overstretching.

Muscle Memory

Muscle memory is a great way of remembering exercises. Simply put, you repeat the same movements over and over again, and eventually, your brain remembers them and can perform them faster and easier. A lot of people find that they can’t remember their exercises after a few days, however, it doesn’t mean you didn’t learn anything; it means that your brain hasn’t yet had time to retain the information. Once your brain does catch up, you’ll have better control over your body.

Cardio

Cardiovascular exercise is any type of physical activity that increases heart rate and requires oxygen to be consumed by the body. Examples of cardio activities include jogging, swimming, biking, etc. These activities burn a ton of calories, and are great for burning fat and losing weight.

Stretching

Stretching is one of the best ways to relax and relieve tension in your muscles. Before doing any stretching, focus on your breathing and your core. As soon as you feel tension build up in your body, slow down your breathing and breathe deeply. Then, slowly open up your limbs, one at a time. Don’t force yourself to stretch, instead, let gravity take its course and stretch naturally.

Neck Stretch

Stand with feet shoulder width apart. Bend forward at the waist until hands reach the floor. Hold this position for 30 seconds while breathing deeply. Your spine should remain straight and upright while exhaling. Repeat two times daily.

Chest Stretch

Sit tall with legs outstretched in front of you. Place fingers behind ears and lean back. Breathe slowly for 10 counts. Continue breathing for five minutes before repeating.

Low Back Stretch

Kneel down in front of a sturdy chair. Lean forward placing arms on either side of the seat. Lift head and lower chin to the ground. Keep spine still and breathe slowly. Hold for three minutes. Relax and repeat twice daily.

Walking

Walking is the easiest exercise to do. You can easily find a local park or trail nearby where you can walk for at least 30 minutes, preferably 45 minutes. If you live in a city, you have numerous options to choose from. Just make sure to pick an area that doesn't require much effort.

For example, if you live in New York City, don't try walking through Central Park in the winter since you will probably die from hypothermia after about 10 minutes there.

When you walk, you should focus on walking briskly. Your goal is to burn fat instead of carbs. When you're done exercising, just drink some water and relax. Try not to eat anything while you're walking. A good rule of thumb is to only drink 1/2 ounce of liquid per minute.

Ball Crunch

You need a partner for this one. Grab the heaviest weight ball you can get your hands on (ex: medicine ball) and place it behind your head. Then, stand straight up with your arms extended forward over your head. Next, lean slightly back and crunch your body using the ball. Do it slow and steady until you start feeling fatigued?

After you finish, roll down slowly and stretch out your muscles. You might want to grab some ice before you stretch though.

*Note: Don't forget to stretch afterwards! Stretching is crucial for preventing injuries.
