Hello Chiropractor
Thanks for your compliment. In the field of Aerobic. I was reading
about it on
http://www.medical-health-care-information.com. At a very
young age, we begin to learn the importance of fitness. As we age,
fitness importance and awareness should be a daily focus. As age
progresses, health issues become an increasing concern. To offset
concerns, individuals, over the age of fifty-five, have become
increasingly active. By doing so, older adults experience improvement
in strength, balance, flexibility and endurance. Additionally,
physical fitness can result in a reduction in high blood pressure,
decreased risks of heart disease, colon cancer, diabetes, improved
sleep and longevity and even relieve pain associated with arthritis.
Other benefits, associated with exercise, may include reducing or
delaying disability, improving cholesterol levels and controlling
weight. All of these benefits are found through a basic exercise
program which may include resistance training, aerobic exercise or
flexibility programs such as Tai Chi.
Tai Chi another fitness program older adults frequently participate in
is an ancient program, Tai Chi. Originally developed in China, Tai Chi
has become increasingly popular in the United States. With the use of
slow, interrupted movements called "forms", the development of
internal energy is promoted. Each form is believed to be inspired by
nature, and involves very relaxed circular motions, with shifts in body
weight and very little foot movement. One Tai Chi session takes
approximately eight minutes and should be completed daily. The calming
effect of Tai Chi promotes meditation and internal calmness. One great
benefit: It can be done with shoes or in bare feet!
Tai Chi is a short, 8 minute program, which will improve flexibility.
Exercise can improve bone mass and stability and reduce falls and hip
fractures.
Please keep in touch. Maybe you would want to read about it there.
