Re: Is Aerobic exercise 'a waste of time'

I think almost any exercise is beneficial. Some more than others. I teach

Kundalini Yoga and there is a big difference on what people get out of each

Kriya or set of exercises. I see people put in different amounts of effort

concerning both the flexibility and aerobic effort. Some people breath very

shallow and some take deep diaphramic breaths. I did see one study a few months

ago saying that people who did sports like soccer and basketball had more

benefits than just running or jogging. I would presume this is because they

used a wider range of muscles, did not get bored as easily and ran at different

rates, sometimes at almost full speed and other times at walking pace.When

exercising, it can benefit these areas: strength, flexibility, quickness, speed,

endurance, aerobic capacity and others

Thank you for the reply GB, I have been talking to a few people about exercises.

at the age of 57, I feel my self and the few friends I have left, have wore our

self out, and now my doctor telling me I should do weight lifting, but with all

the post I have been getting I think I'm coming around to his way of thinking,

use it or lose it, I get the idea now, when you say " When exercising, it can

benefit these areas: strength, flexibility, quickness, speed, endurance, aerobic

capacity and others " so a few of us will be heading down to the Jim cheers Ray

Weight lifting is great but consider that it mostly works on strength. There

are also beneficial effects for bone density and some heart/aerobic capacity but

little in the way of dealing with flexibility, endurance, speed, etc. As I

said, I teach yoga and am biased toward yoga. Personally, I like exercises that

work on the core. The core is your center where most of the internal organs are

located. Exercises like crunches, situps, etc. directly stimulate those

internal organs. Running and soccer are also great for working off calories and

getting the lungs and heart pumping.

For the cancer patient exercise is important because it helps to keep

elimination route open: sweating, breathing, defecation and urination.

Rebounding is one of the most effective things one can do and it helps to

pump the lymphatic system thus aiding in the moving of toxins out of the

body. Walking (outside is preferable) is also recommended and is one of the

best ways to alleviate depression. I would also recommend Yoga and Pilates

as well as some weight training if one can handle it.

I also recommend using an inversion table and chiropratic religiously as

these will address the spine. Many do not recognize the importance of keep

the spine aligned.

I am a firm believer in exercise, but I do not believe that it has to be

extreme. A long time ago I heard some very good advice -- whatever you do

in order to keep your body well and fit (including exercise, diet,

supplements, etc.) should be at a level in which you can perform it at any

age/season of your life. I agree!

Be Well

I've read that exercise increases free radical production and that those that

exercise a lot should increase antioxidants even more.
