Physical Fitness - The Key to Good Mental Health and Wellness

Physical Fitness And Mental Health go hand in hand.

Physical fitness and mental health have been closely related. Greek sculptures and ancient paintings depict the bodies of athletes and warriors in top condition. Therefore, it is safe to assume that those people paid close attention to the way warriors and athletes behaved too.

“Mens Sana in Corpore Sano” (A healthy mind in a sound body), the Roman poet Juvenal wrote around 80 CE . A motto that has proven true for generations since.

Lead an active lifestyle to improve your mental health.

Combine aerobic and anaerobic exercises to achieve top physical fitness. Additionally, train regularly for a minimum of three months to see best results.

Aerobic Exercises –

During aerobic exercise routines, the body satisfies its oxygen requirements. Most resistance exercises, such as running and fast walking, cycling and skiing satisfy the organs and muscles oxygenation needs. The results are improved cardiovascular function and fast calorie consumption. Hence burning fat is relatively easy. To obtain the best results three sessions around 45 minutes each are required every week.

Anaerobic Exercises –

Anaerobic exercises increase strength and muscle mass. Short and intensive in nature, these routines require breaks between sets to allow the body to oxygenate. Most experts agree that two 45 minute exercise sessions per week will lead to the best results. Overworking the routines may cause more harm than benefits.

Muscle Recovery and Growth –

After every exercise series, a small break of up to 3 days can be very beneficial by allowing muscle recovery and cell growth. During these breaks, brisk walks or short jogging sessions will maintain blood circulation and organ recovery.

Finally. evaluate your progress and increase or diminish the intensity of training to yield to the best physical fitness results.
