Customized Exercise Programs A Word About Exercise Exercise is most accurately described as the active use of the body to maintain and/or build endurance and strength in order to make the body healthier, physically and mentally. Exercise as a recreational activity is a fairly modern development. In the fast paced and hi-tech world of today very few occupations involve labor and physical activities. In the past, many jobs and day to day aspects of life involved physical labor. Today physical activities are associated with "recreational exercise". We firmly believe in the holistic approach to wellness. Proper nutrition, weight training, and cardiovascular exercise. One cannot reach their maximum capabilities without the proper combination of all three. Psychological and physical benefits are rewards for exercise. On the psychological side exercise helps one to feel better about themselves and build self-esteem as well as alleviate stress. The physical advantage of exercise is that it develops muscle tone, strength, and is a determining factor in weight control, whether one needs to lose or gain. Weight resistance training builds muscle and can burn up to eighty percent of our calories consumed. A consistent exercise program along with proper nutrition builds and tones muscles, including the heart. It also makes bones stronger by increasing calcium uptake and may reduce high blood pressure and cholesterol. Exercise is for people of all ages. Whether you simply want to lose a few pounds, increase your athletic performance or be a competitive bodybuilder everyone needs a nutrition and exercise program. This keeps younger people in shape and they are more likely to continue to exercise throughout their lives. When people get older, the benefits are even more important. It has a beneficial effect on the aging body and helps to maintain fitness as well as slowing down the physical aspects of aging. The older one gets the more the body becomes de-conditioned and if not exercised properly problems may occur in the skeletal and cardiovascular systems. In closing I would like to say that a nutrition and exercise program should be planned carefully and customized for the individuals' needs and goals. It will make even the healthy and the physically disadvantaged reach a new overall level of wellness and give them personal gratification.
