  • EXERCISING

    Now, let's take a look at exercise. There are three types of exercise, realistically, that you will want to be concerned with at this point. These are cardiovascular, weight training and cross-training. Again, the following list will provide some insight into the different types.

  • Cardiovascular - Biking, Hiking, Jogging, Step climbing.
  • Weight-Training - Free weights, Weight machines.
  • Cross-training - Basketball, Tennis, Soccer, Swimming.

  • Additional rules for exercising

    Engage in Cross-training or cardiovascular exercise at least 3 times per week, for no less than 30 mins. When beginning to weight train, work out the entire body 2-3 times per week. Always allow at least one day between workouts. When in doubt, use free weights, not machines. Free weights will strengthen joints and connective tissue, machine typically do not. In the beginning, training should focus on 3 key areas, Back, Chest and Legs. You should always use a full range of motion when doing any exercise.
