Dr. Kevin Darr is a firm believer that getting the body moving, stretching, flexing, is vital to health. In this post, we discuss its importance. However, at any time you wish to discuss getting healthier, or want to partake in exercise that is suited to you (not matter what your condition), please contact Dr. Darr, Covington’s best.
Why Is Yoga or Pilates Good?
Here are some points to show why flexibility exercises are beneficial:
Why is Aerobic Activity Good?
You want to keep your heart healthy with aerobic exercises. Whether you’re an athlete or not, aerobic activity increases your endurance. As a result, you can perform better in everything, whether it be work, sports, school, etc. There’s all these benefits to exercise. Good examples of aerobic activity include:
What About Strength Training?
Weight training can help keep your muscles strong. Strong muscles take the load off the joints. There’s less stress across the knee, for example; by keeping your knees strong, the muscle absorbs more of the stress rather than the joint.
Overall, you want to have a balance of all types of exercise. There’s less chance of injury with people who have strong muscles and are flexible.
