Aerobics
A note of critical importance when considering the human “aerobic” condition, is that as we age and or increase our exercise level, our body has a new, higher demand for oxygen.
Regardless of age, the benefits of aerobic exercise seem to be limitless. Whether you are an Olympic athlete or a housewife you can benefit greatly from regular aerobic activity. It’s a given fact that body composition changes with regular exercise. Aerobic exercises, however, burns fat faster than any other type of exercise. Body fat goes down, muscle mass goes up, resting heart rate goes down, cardio capacity goes up, bone density improves and metabolism in the form of resting energy expenditure improves which means we have the capacity to burn more calories at rest.
We also know from a weight management stand point that the appetite is suppressed when engaging in regular aerobic activities. The calorie burning effect of regular aerobic exercise allows for increased daily calorie intake. When Lance Armstrong was training for the Tour de France he would consume 6,000+ calories a day. He was not worried about gaining weight; he had to produce enough aerobic energy to sustain his daily cycling challenge.
Weight-bearing aerobic activities like walking and jogging are also important and help to build the skeletal system. These activities help reduce the risk for osteoporosis and other bone deficiencies.
Cardiovascular training also has been shown to increase the sensitivity of cells to insulin. It is critical for a type 1 and type 2 diabetic or a person with metabolic syndrome to exercise aerobically.
Since cardiovascular disease is still the number one killer and we know that aerobic activities strengthen the heart, it goes without saying that a person with coronary artery disease would benefit from regular aerobic exercise. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, increased HDL, decreased LDL and arthritis improvement are more reasons to engage in regular aerobic exercise.
To benefit from aerobic training you must elevate the heart rate to your individual training zone or at a perceived exertion level. Let us explain. The best formula to determine your training zone is the Karvonen Formula.
Training Heart Rate:
-maximum heart rate
-resting heart rate
X desired intensity (50-85%)
+resting heart rate
For Example: What is the training heart rate for a 40 year old with a resting heart rate of 80 bpm at 70% intensity?
220-40 (age )= 180 (maximum heart rate)
180 (MHR) – 80 (RHR) = 100 (heart rate reserve)
100 x 0.70 (70% intensity) =70
70 + 80 (RHR) = 150 (Target HR at 70%)
There are certain aerobic factors that are either genetically wired or predetermined by early childhood activities or by the presence of limiting diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD), bronchitis and asthma. The remainder of aerobic efficiency and cardiovascular conditioning can be highly influenced by supplementation. In reality for activity lasting more than a minute or so, your muscle functioning is only as good as your body’s ability to fuel it aerobically. The Vigorous Life aerobic formula has been created to quickly and efficiently impact exercise performance.
Vigorous Life aerobic formula contains Vitamin T, Dimethylglycine (DMG), Choline Bitartrate and Glycine. It would take an entire book chapter to discuss the biochemical mechanisms behind Vigorous Life. Rather than learning all that, you can simply take two capsules before your daily workout or anytime during the day when you normally feel tired and experience the fantastic difference this product makes in your life. Completely natural and safe nutrient based Vigorous Life by Pure Chemistry MD is the way to go for anyone engaging in aerobic exercise or vigorous activities or lifestyle of any kind.
Vigorous Life aerobic formula is available at Curves. Ask of it at the desk. One bottle of 60 capsules is $30.
