Healthy Exercise

Are the exercises you’re practicing healthy and suitable for you?

We all know that the advent of the internet has provided us with the ability to quickly communicate new and exciting concepts, as well as disseminate false information that causes mass confusion. Intentionally or by the diluting of information, it’s difficult to navigate the vast amount of information bombarding us. This is more evident when it comes to fitness. There were fitness fads since before the advent of the internet. However, they’re now sold in shinier packaging and we are surrounded with them on a daily basis. Gorgeous social media models that show you how you can transform the body. Many gyms provide numerous new and intriguing workout options to satisfy the craving of our ever-changing Attention deficit disorder.

A Renaissance in Exercise

As a fitness and health expert, I’m thrilled about the resurgence of exercise and fitness. But, we need to consider the following: is this kind of exercise is healthy?

What do we know is best for us, and what is just a gimmick? What are our objectives? The majority of us aren’t elite athletes, therefore do we need to train as pro athletes?

My name is a physical therapist and treats patients over the past the past 20 years. There are a lot of repeat clients due to the stress that is put on their bodies because of inadequate exercise programs. I’ve also fallen victim to improper training procedures. A lot of times it is due to repeatedly causing trauma to connective tissue or irritation to joints as well as stress fractures, spinal painfulness, plantar faciitis etc. In certain cases the nervous system could be so exhausted that it is more prone to developing illness. What, I thought exercising was supposed to help us stay healthier? If done slowly and gradually it is true. But, excessive exercise stress at a frequency that is higher than our bodies are able to recover can actually affect our immune system.

What research studies are telling us about the research findings

We are fortunate that there is an abundance of peer-reviewed studies available that demonstrates how we respond to the stress of exercising.

Research conducted by Brooks and colleagues. in 1990, Niels as well. 2003 found “Unlike regular training intense interval training produces a significant rise in the different stress-response hormones. Blood levels of epinephrine, norepinephrine may be greater than 15 times higher and cortisol and glucagon are more than four times higher than their resting levels and could be elevated for a long time. This type of stress response is useful in a battle or flight situation, however Chronic rises in these hormones may cause a decrease in the appetite, sleep patterns and the immune system.

Are there alternatives?

Anaerobic training produces many of the same hormones associated with psychological stress. This is why it is a contributing factor to the negative effect of stressors elsewhere within one’s daily life.

Aerobic training (steady-state cardio) however boosts hormones that are associated with the state of recovery. So aerobic general endurance exercises combat and lessen those effects caused by stress therefore, adding them to your workout will increase the amount of aerobic exercise your body is able to accommodate.

High costs of adaptation are particularly experienced by athletes who are specialist and those who engage in physically demanding work. A extremely high degree of adaptation to a single aspect can harm other aspects likely due to the concentrated adaptation resources to one area. One common example is the weak immune system among athletes in good health; the the synthesis of immune proteins are decreased.

The costs of adapting to physical load and negative cross-effects can be avoided, but it is not impossible. The most sensible approach to avoid them is to make a smart load selection, the selection of the proper ontogenesis stage as well as the use of what is known as combined adaptation where the organism adapts simultaneously to a variety of aspects.

What is this all about?

In essence, there are many kinds of stress. Stresses that weaken us as well as stress that builds us up. The stress that causes us to gain weight is known as hormetic stress. This type of stress forces our bodies to create an innate resistance and to strengthen and protect against any further stress.

But, if the strain is greater than our bodies are able to repair and strengthen and repair, the body breaks down and it’s not just hormetic, but also damaging. When we exercise, we will see the bad stress scenarios in many scenarios. One example is insufficient sleep and intensive exercise routinely results in poor recovery and eventually break down. A higher level of psychological stress and intense exercise results in low recuperation and break down. Inscribing a new workout program at a level of intensity that is excessively high can lead to failure and a poor recovery.

Any combination of stressors that do not have adequate stress-reducing scenarios that are regularly performed could cause the body to breakdown instead of building up.

Modern High-Tech

Modern-day HITT fitness is an exercise technique that I dislike because it can have significant effects on overtraining. Repeated stress on joints and soft tissues increases the release of stress hormones and ammonia accumulation and lactic acid build-up and so on. The result is an enormous strain upon the body’s nervous system. You will notice amazing gains in the first few weeks, but these gains will not last long. However, this isn’t to suggest that you shouldn’t do the HITT exercise. It is a good thing. Sometimes, it’s good to test your mental stamina and body’s response to an intense workout but it shouldn’t be used as an exercise that is the meat or potatoes of your exercise routine.

Additionally the practice should be done every now and then or when you’re several weeks away from competing however, not constantly. Also, preliminary research on HITT training focused on methods that required a 30-second all-out effort and then 3 minutes of moderate effort for five cycles. It’s quite different from the methods we find in popular fitness classes that employ training in the style of HITT.

The majority of us ought to be exercising at moderate intensity in a number of different methods, in addition to different types of motions. The basis of physical health is the bell curve, with low to little activity resulting in poor physical health and intensive of long-term activity causes physical damage and negative health effects. It is those who engage in a range of light to moderate physical exercise and occasionally high levels of exercise that do the most well in terms of general health and physical longevity.
