  TIME TO BE FIT

Now days, many people seem to take better care of their cars and their computers than they do of their bodies or their health. A common complaint seems to be that people don’t have the time either to exercise or to pay attention to their diet-and yet they do seem to have the time to be ill! Surely those of us who want busy, full lives should focus on the fact that we don’t have time to be unfit and unhealthy!

There are many reasons for us to get fit and stay active and one of the main arguments is, possibly, because that is what we were designed to do. Man is an animal and until very recently in his history his entire existence was centred around some kind of physical effort.

Indeed, his very survival depended on it-his ability to enemies, climb trees and cross rivers. Nowadays, with our reliance on technology and mechanization, we no longer need to be physically active to survive in the outside world, yet our essential needs have not changes and in order to function effectively and efficiently our entire system-physical, mental and spiritual-requires daily activity. Also, it is not only our muscles that benefit from movement: our organs, glands and systems (circulation, digestion, and respiration) became much more efficient when we are fit and active.        

  Even in the short term, committing ourselves to a programme of regular exercise can drastically improve our fitness levels. It can-surprisingly quickly-tone and strengthen our muscles;  increase our vitality; reduce insomnia; focus our minds and improve our ability to think clearly; regulate our appetite and encourage us to eat healthily; improve our circulation, breathing posture.

Strength, flexibility and stamina; and lift our mood and reduce stress. In the long term, our risk of disease, improve the way our bodies look and feel, and slow down the ageing process.

Resources for Fitness Swimmers Fitness Swimming

Swimming is an ideal fitness activity. When you swim, you get a total body workout that combines cardiovascular and strength benefits. You work your heart and lungs as well as getting a strenuous workout for your upper and lower body. In addition, this is done in a weight bearing (the water bears your body weight) environment so that there is little stress to your joints and connective tissue. It is less important that you are a good swimmer and more important that you are active against the resistance of the water which, in fact, provides much more resistance than air. Whether you enter a pool or other body of water to swim or for some other fitness activity is not important either since all activities in water will produce varying degrees of the same effect. We highly recommend swimming as both an excellent aerobic and cardiovascular activity and a strength and flexibility activity.

Sports conditioning

For many athletes sports injury can be attributed to one thing: a lack of basic core muscle strength. That’s because athletes often begrudge any time spent away from their chosen sporting activity, be it distance running, or ball work. Yet evidence shows that an hour spent in the gym each week can more that repay itself in terms of injury avoidance. Again the old saying is proved true: prevention is better than cure.

Heart Rate Calculation

Relation Between Heart rate and Exercise

Heart  rate  while doing   exercise  has  great importance  for  effective  workout. if  you are doing  exercise for fat burning  your  bpm heart beat  should not  exceed  more than  85% of your   MHR( maximum heart rate)  if your  bpm exceeds that level  the training thrash hold  changes from  aerobic  to anaerobic which  results in to early  fatigue and  it will slow the fat burning  process.

How to Calculate  Heart Rate

220 – age =     MHR

if  your age is 24   so

220 – 24 =  196   bpm

for aerobic thrash hold  85%  of mhr  will be 166 bpm or it should  be your limit while doing  your  fat burning  workout.watch?v=wFLsjtqiGhE
