of exercise are aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic exercises include walking,
running, jump rope, bike riding, swimming, aerobics, and dance. These

ligaments.
The Benefits
People exercise for many reasons. If done properly, exercise
has many benefits, such as weight loss, increasing muscle tone,
and lowering blood pressure. People who exercise regularly are less
likely to become overweight or have health problems such as high
blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes. In order to see results
from your exercise program you must do at least 20-30 minutes of
aerobic activity at least 3 times a week. You must also remember
to stretch for 10 minutes before and after your exercise routine,
to prevent muscle and ligament injury.
Get ready, get set…
Before starting any new exercise program, remember to see
you doctor first to make sure there are no problems. Also, pick
an exercise you enjoy because you are more likely to do it on a
regular basis. Ask a friend to join you. Most of all, remember to
have fun.
