How Exercise can keep you Young

Everybody knows that a good exercise regime is crucial for a healthy life but most of us are too lazy to follow an exercise routine and choose to take the easy route. However if one is to consider all the anti ageing products that we spend our money on, a Personal trainer in Brighton and a proper exercise regime may seem to a better and healthier option.

Researchers have now proven that exercise can reduce ageing both at the muscular and cellular levels. Telomeres are substances which protect the chromosomes that carry our genetic material. If these telomeres gets too short then the lifespan of the cell ends. Dying cells result in the body being susceptible to weaknesses.

Studies conducted on humans as well as animals have concluded that exercise results in the stabilization of telomere in cells, and thereby protecting them from decay. People who regularly exercise have a longer healthier telomere in comparison to people who are healthy but have no exercise history.

Furthermore it is seen that telomeres is dependent on activity and not genetics. Studies conducted on twins, one with an active lifestyle and the other with a sedentary one showed that the telomere length was longer in the twin with the active life.

Studies claim that the biological clock and ageing can be delayed by up to 12 years with regular exercise. Exercise should be vigorous enough to raise the heart rate to 120 beats per minute or higher to have proper effect. Jogging, cycling and other cardio vascular exercises which strengthen the heart and lungs will increase muscle power, balance and co-ordination especially in the later parts of life. This is especially evident when everyday ordinary activities seem to be more fatiguing as one gets older which is not the case for a person with a regular exercise regime.

Exercise routines vary for different needs. For example endurance exercises help prevent diseases like heart disease, colon, diabetes and so on. Strength exercises are meant to build muscles which not only make one stronger but also keep blood sugar and weight in check.

Flexibility exercises stretch the muscles thus keeping the body limber. An overdose of exercise can also be harmful as it may lead to injury. Furthermore, an improper combination of exercises may not be conducive to the body. This is where a Boot Camp Brighton is useful.

A personal trainer will approach you with a specific agenda in mind with regard to the body type, the areas that need to be worked on and the required goals. They also help motivate people to carry on towards the goals especially when the effects are not immediately noticeable. New comers will especially appreciate the efforts of a trainer as a trainer can introduce them to simple effective routines.

For people who are already in good shape, a Bootcamp Brighton can introduce them to newer techniques to further motivate them. Thus just staying healthy is not enough. An exercise regime is a necessary criteria for a body that is to remain younger and fit.
