अनेरोबिक एक्सेर्सिसे & इट्स बेनेफिट्स.

The aim of anaerobic exercise is to build power, strength & muscle. The muscles are exercised at high intensity for short durations. A short duration usually means no more than about 2 minutes.

Anaerobic means without air. Anaerobic exercise improve our muscle strength & our ability to move with quick burst of speed. When thinking of anaerobic exercise, think of short & fast or short & intensive. Anaerobic exercises include:

1. Weight Lifting;

2. Sprinting;

3. Intensive & Fast Skipping;

4. Interval Training;

5. Isometrics;

6. Any rapid burst of hard exercise.

Oxygen is not used for energy during anaerobic exercise. During this type of exercise a bye-product - lactic-acid is produced. Lactic-acid contributes to muscle fatigue & must be used up during recovery before that muscle can be subjected to another anaerobic session. During the recovery period, oxygen is used to give the muscle a 'refill'-to replenish the muscle's energy that was used up during the intensive exercise.

Overall, anaerobic exercise uses up fewer calories than aerobic exercise. The cardiovascular benefits of aerobic exercises are greater than the cardiovascular benefits of anaerobic exercises. However, anaerobic exercise is better at building strength & muscle mass, while still benefitting the heart & lungs. As you build more muscle you will burn more fat, even at rest. Muscles burn more calories per unit volume than any other tissue in the body. A muscular person burns more calories than a non-muscular person, even while he or she is resting. This study found that resistant training may aid in weight loss.

BENEFITS OF ANAEROBIC EXERCISE.

1. The exerciser gets stronger.

2. The exerciser experiences gowth in muscle mass.

3. Strengthens bones.

4. Strengthens & protects the joints.

5. Helps control body weight.

6. The exerciser can withstand a greater buildup of lactic acid & other waste substances, & can eliminate them more rapidly.

In my next post, I shall be writing on 'Agility Training' & its benefits. Stay posted!

The Fitness Industry In Nigeria.

The fitness industry in Nigeria is fledgling. Although there are many qualified & unqualified practitioners in this industry, the economic situation of the masses remains the propelling factor for the majority of practitioners. The zeal to exercise on a regular basis is the secondary motivation with most trainers. Nevertheless, majority of fitness trainers in Nigeria undertook self-study to acquire the knowledge of the trade. While the fortunate among them, took online fitness courses & continue to update themselves in the field through Internet research, fitness workshops & seminars. Over time, the profession has been viewed as an endeavour for school certificate holders & for college drop-outs. As such, the economic-sustenance capacity for the professionals has been very poor. An average personal trainer in Nigeria earn as little as =N=10,000.00 monthly, while an experienced personal trainer earn as little as =N=5,000.00 for an hour group training in the gym. Moreover...

GROWING YOUR OWN POTATOES

You Can Grow Your Own Potatoes Even If You Don’t Have a Garden So your basil died in a freeze and you accidentally overwatered your tomatoes. We get it. Not everyone has a green thumb. (Gardening can be super tricky even if you do!) That said, there’s one crop that’s surprisingly easy to grow — and it just so happens to be a perennial favorite (literally): potatoes. With a few simple tips, you’ll be well on your way to enjoying home-grown spuds for mashing, smashing, and roasting. Read on to learn more about how to grow potatoes in your garden — or even on your balcony or patio. Potatoes originated in the Andes mountains of South America, where local farmers cultivate more than 4,000 potato varieties. They’re a member of the nightshade family, along with tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant. Like the other nightshades, potatoes are a warm season crop that require a frost-free growing season. One intriguing difference between potatoes and other nightshades is that, instead of sprouting ...

Use Your Brain to Elongate Your Cell-By Date May 22nd, 2020 By  Robert Puzey Guest Writer for  Wake Up World When we think about ageing, and how we can halt or reverse the ageing process, we tend to look at ourselves exteriorly, and try to find the answers ‘out there’, e.g., using cosmic surgery and rejuvenating creams to try to make ourselves appear younger than we are. We might introduce physical exercises to encourage weight loss and muscle toning in our bid to look and feel more youthful. We are conditioned to perceive life outside of ourselves, like watching a movie show. We strive for happiness by attempting to attain the ‘BBD’ (Bigger Better Deal) – we believe the higher paid job, the flashy car, the perfect partner will satisfy us. But often we find cosmic surgery, rejuvenating creams, so on, do not work, and the BBD doesn’t bring us lasting satisfaction. But what if instead we could use the brain as a tool to induce de-ageing? What if we could somehow undertake an int...
