4 Basics Of A Stronger Body

By Chet Sandeksi


Your body is a wondrous thing. It can be your greatest ally when you take care of it or your worst nightmare when you let things go. Maintaining a strong body is something that helps you enjoy your life. Take a look at the following 4 basics of creating a stronger body that will help you enjoy health and freedom for the years ahead.

The first basic of a stronger body is to stretch often. When you stretch consistently, you retain flexibility, and even increase it. Flexibility will help you handle the strain of everyday work without pulling a muscle or twisting something. You'd be surprised how much lighter and more limber you feel post-stretching.

First, physical exercise can reduce stress. Stress can be an extremely harmful thing to our mind and body.

By engaging in physical exercise when we feel stressed, such as taking a walk or playing a pickup game of basketball, the body releases the chemical norepinephrine. This chemical helps moderate your brain's response to stress.

Mankind is essentially made up of social creatures. Men and women around the world congregate into social societies.

You build this muscle by participating in a full range of exercises. A full range constitutes working out all of the muscles in the body over the span of a week.

For example, you may decide to run twice a week to work out the lower body. You may also decide to play racquetball once a week to focus on the core and upper body.

Then you may want to swim laps at the local pool to work on both at once, etc. You can also do focused workouts at the gym that can accomplish the same thing.

Regardless of your weight, size, or gender, when you work out you feel a deeper sense of self love.

Fourth, get outside. Participating in physical activity in the great outdoors increases self-esteem even more than working out inside.

Groups hiking together can spot those dangers, provide useful insight, or act immediately should anything bad happen. If they can't provide needed medical attention, then they can often attract the attention of those that can.

Your body can only take so much before it has to rest. It'll tell you it's done with pain.

You need to learn to recognize when an activity is hurting your body, and when it's helping it to grow. If you feel any problems in a joint and not your muscles, for instance, then you should take a break before you wind up needing electro surgery to fix an injury your body warned you could come.

So listen to your body. Then respond according to what it is saying, even if you didn't hit your workout goal. The last basic is to eat healthy. You can work your muscles down to jelly, and if you don't provide them the proper nutrients to build them back up again, you'll be left with nothing but jelly in the future.

Eighth, help control addiction. When you exercise the body releases a chemical called dopamine, or the "reward chemical." Exercise can help those who are trying to recover from addictions.

Short exercises can help addicted individuals by distracting them from a craving. On the whole, exercise can be a powerful tool to help addicts as they rebuild their body without the dependence on their addiction. Be sure to take advantage of all of the physical and mental health benefits exercise provides.
