from time to time we must have probably heard about how exercises plays an important role in the body, but could there actually be a case where exercise might be too much?
personally I believe in every stage and age we find ourselves in life, there is a particular amount of stress and work loads our body can carry. let's say for example, a young adult within the age of 20 to 25, should be able to carry out more physical activities than someone around the age 60 and above.
we have various reasons for working out, some do it just to loose weight, while others do it simply for the health benefits and there are some who just want to remain fit.
most persons assume to loose weight, they have to over stress their muscles all in the name of exercise, but one major secret to weight loss is releasing more fat than you consume. most beginners have made the mistake of over stressing their muscles, at the end of the day they get pains and torn out muscles.
The amount of time you spend on workouts should be determined by the kind of exercise you do. for adults, 30 to 75 minutes is more than enough if you are into vigorous-intensity exercise. there should also be days where you carry out less vigorous workouts, lifting of weights should be done at least twice a week, to strengthen the muscles. As we age, the muscles in our hands and legs becomes weaker, lifting weights would help strengthen them.
For teens and young adults, 60 minutes or more of high activity exercises should be enough, note there should also be a day set aside to rest. While for the kids, being active in sports like swimming, dancing, running and the likes is good exercise for them, it also teaches them how to be more social and helps their brain function better for studies.
For pregnant women, older adults and probably some persons with one chronic illness or the other, it would be wise to seek the advice of a professional before you embark on any kind of exercise.
