Wednesday – The Touch that Takes

Colossians 1:19 (KJV)

 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell….

Thought For The Day:

A little girl was asked, “Did you get everything you wanted for Christmas?” To which she replied was wisdom beyond her years, “No, but then it’s not my birthday!”

On this Winding Wednesday, in life our road do get winding at times but Thanks be to God He straightens out all of our twisted roads in life’s….

Start Exercises For The Elderly and Seniors Now

Endurance:

 Endurance exercises include brisk walking, running, low impact aerobics, swimming, water aerobics, cycling or any exercise that makes you breathe faster and your heart to speed up.

Endurance exercises or activities should be performed at least 2 times per week.

For optimal improvement in your heart and lungs and muscles, try 3 to 5 times per week.

Think of how much easier it will be to walk, grocery shop and play with your grandchildren!

Your workout should be intense enough to make your heart beat faster and you’re breathing to increase but not so high as to over stress your system.

This is your training zone. Try to work out in this range to get the most benefit out of your endurance exercises.

Below you will find three good ways of monitoring your intensity level for your endurance activities and finding your training zone.

Pick one that will work for you and your situation.

Long-Term Effects

1. Decrease in resting heart rate. Because the rigors of regular exercise require so much work from the cardiovascular system, sedentary periods become even easier for the heart by comparison. The heart eventually becomes more efficient, and no longer needs to beat as quickly to supply the body with blood while at rest.

 2. Stroke volume increases at rest. Resting heart rate is able to slow down because the heart is now trained to pump a larger quantity of blood with every beat.
