You already know that cardio workouts and overall exercising are great for your body. Choosing to focus on health generally, has a lot to do with exercising. It is a huge component of overall health, preventative care. The biggest issue seems to be that many people do not know where to start.<\/p>\n
If you already have an interest in exercising and it\u2019s a part of your weekly routine, you will be interested to learn more about cardiopulmonary exercise testing at Warner Family Practice. CPX produces individualized exercise prescriptions that can heighten the benefits of your exercise hours and diminish the risk of damaging your body through over-exercise.<\/p>\n
When you are ready to begin exercising (and for many of us in Chandler, Arizona it\u2019s when the weather is below 90\u00b0 outside), even the smallest steps can have a huge effect on your body and overall health.<\/p>\n
This article outlines some of the effects cardio exercises can have on your body as well as some easy exercises you can do if you are a beginner.<\/p>\n
Feeling the positive effects of exercise does not take long at all.<\/p>\n
In fact, as soon as you start exercising, walking in your Chandler neighborhood or biking on the streets of Tempe or hiking South Mountain you will notice that your heart begins beating faster and your breathing changes. These are two basic things that happen while you are exercising and it\u2019s important to note that there are other things at play here.<\/p>\n
During exercise, three main things are happening inside your body: your oxygen flow increases, your body eliminates heat (via sweating and breathing) and your body eliminates metabolic wastes.<\/p>\n
But what does that mean for your body and health as a whole?<\/p>\n
Let’s take a look at specific areas of the body and what happens during exercise and cardio workouts:<\/p>\n
A body in motion is said to stay in motion and that is true.<\/p>\n
Beyond the changes you notice when you are working out, there are effects that you will notice for much longer, as long as you continue to exercise.<\/p>\n
In general, you will feel better about your body, you will have more stamina and you will be able to exercise for longer periods of time. The more you exercise, the more these things will continue to improve.<\/p>\n
There are some unseen benefits of long-term exercise as well that you may not have realized. These are the three main benefits:<\/p>\n
These three benefits come together to help your body even more by increasing your energy, improving your breathing and even lowering blood pressure.<\/p>\n
Additionally, you may have other benefits that you notice that are in direct relation to your exercise.<\/p>\n
At Warner Family Practice, our physicians conduct thousands of annual comprehensive physicals, also known as executive physicals, and actually chart the short and long term impact of exercise.<\/p>\n
If you have not been active for a significant stretch of time, just starting any exercise program may seem like an impossible task. From just moving in an active manner to any discomfort you feel in your muscles, there are many reasons why you would quit – don\u2019t.<\/p>\n
There are some easy exercises that you can do to ease into exercising. Before you know it, you will be completing full blown workouts and enjoying the effects.<\/p>\n
Slow and steady wins the race when it comes to exercising.<\/p>\n
These are a few cardio exercises you can do to get started:<\/p>\n
The key is to start slow and add more activity as you increase your ability. It is up to you to do this and no one can make you start exercising. However, there are countless benefits to cardio exercise, so start exercising today.<\/p>\n
As already mentioned, at Warner Family Practice in Chandler, we place major emphasis on preventative care. There are three primary ways that our doctors and physicians take patients beyond beginning cardio exercise.<\/p>\n
