Doing exercises on a daily basis or at least sometimes in a week is very important in keeping
00:14
our physical and mental health in a good way.
00:17
Now what are the types of exercises and these exercises should be tailored to different
00:23
body types?
00:25
And the answer for this is definitely yes.
00:27
There are three major categories of exercises which are broadly named like aerobic exercises,
00:34
anaerobic exercises, and agility exercises.
00:38
The aerobic exercises work mainly on handling or delivery of the oxygen properly to the
00:45
body tissues, especially the important organs like the heart and the brain.
00:51
The second kind of exercise is the anaerobic exercises which usually work in the non-oxygenated
00:58
part which is the increasing of the body mass or the muscle mass.
01:04
And this is for the people who need only to increase their body mass and to burn fat in
01:12
their bodies.
01:13
And the third type of exercise is the agility exercise which is needed by the people who
01:17
do other regular sports like cutting-edge sports and changing directions, need coordination
01:25
like tennis, football, squash, cricket.
01:29
People who do this exercise usually need to have some other exercise to be able to change
01:36
direction to keep the coordination between the brain signals and the body reactions to
01:41
these activities.
01:42
Next point is what is the duration needed to do this exercise?
01:47
As we told before, it depends on the kind or the type of the exercise.
01:50
If we do the aerobic exercise which is usually like simple walk, simple mild uphill cycling
01:58
or little cardio exercise, this should be mild to moderate intensity and should be around
02:06
20 minutes, then have a break, then can resume back.
02:10
And if we go to the anaerobic exercise which is high power exercise like lifting heavy
02:16
weights like jumping with high jump with rope or doing any marathons or something like this
02:25
should be shorter time like 2 minutes then resume to maintain the blood flow properly
02:32
to the vital organs.
02:35
And the other agility exercise will be depending on the intensity of the other sport like tennis
02:42
or football.
02:43
So, this should be programmed with the coach or with the teacher who teach how much time
02:49
needed to do that.
02:50
Next, we will talk about the benefit of the exercise.
02:54
Does it affect the heart rate and the fat burn and metabolic rate?
03:01
Yes, definitely.
03:02
As we told the aerobic exercise work on oxygenation of the tissues, so this delivers proper oxygen
03:08
to the vital organs like the heart and the brain as we told which improves the heart
03:13
rate, reduce the blood pressure, reduce the risk of getting type 2 diabetes, reduce the
03:21
risk of getting strokes or cardiovascular disease and increase the bone mass and reduce
03:30
the chance of getting osteoporosis.
03:34
Regarding the fat burn, the anaerobic exercise work as we told in anaerobic condition, so
03:42
it means that the body burns the fat to get the proper mass power and this improves the
03:50
metabolic rate.
