Introduction
‘Exercise’ is one of those terms that have vastly different meanings for different people. What does it mean to you?
If you are reading this eBook, it is most likely because you are aware that you probably aren’t doing enough exercise. But then again, what is enough?
Have you always been mostly sedentary? Except when forced into doing sport at school, have you avoided much regular physical exertion?
Or perhaps were you physically active in your younger years through work or sport, but have been a desk jockey for the last decade or two?
Most telling, when you are called upon to exert yourself, can you do it without becoming breathless and is your heart pounding? Do you feel your muscles aching for days after you do things that you used to do without even thinking about it?
In the back of your mind, you know that you should be doing more, but you probably don’t fully recognize just how much of your health, longevity, and joy of living is affected by how much or how little you exercise.
This eBook will explain the benefits of exercising, not just for physical fitness, but for strength, mobility, flexibility, and suppleness, and for mental and emotional wellbeing.
This eBook is not filled with bland generalizations. It is a guide that explains what exercises and types of exercises are best for specific requirements, whether that be aerobic fitness, strength gains, increased flexibility, and mobility, or improved overall health and wellbeing.
