Staying at home with no physical activity can lead you into a sedentary lifestyle. This can be harmful, because sedentary lifestyles are linked to health conditions that can compromise your overall well-being and quality of life. This is why you should take a deliberate decision to include physical activity in your daily routine.
Research shows that when physical activity is included in your weekly schedule, your energy levels can increase. It’s also proven that exercise releases chemicals in your brain that can boost and enhance your mood.
Here are five more reasons why you should include physical activity in your schedule:
Exercise improves your coordination and balance
Exercise helps with weight management
Exercise reduces your risk for non-communicable diseases
Exercise adds structure to your day
The WHO recommends 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity per week, or a combination of both. Our High Energy Virtual Fitness Sessions can help you realize this recommendation in the comfort of your home. Expect to see enthusiastic trainers and a community of people who also want to make exercise a part of their routine.
Here are three tips that you should know before you tune into our virtual fitness sessions, so you can have the best workout:
- Preparation: Don’t exercise on an empty stomach. A high-carb snack like a banana or an apple 1-2 hours before your workout is a good idea.
- Safety: Don’t push yourself too much, take it slowly and work with your body. Pay attention to how you feel.
- Discipline: Find your ‘why’ for working out, once the mind is on board the body is sure to follow.
Our fitness trainers will also share more fitness tips each week. We invite you to tune into these fitness sessions @NestleCaribbean to reap the rewards of engaging in a high energy workout.
