Anti Aging
There are 1440 minutes in every day.
To stay healthy and beat premature ageing set aside at least 20 minutes a day for exercise.
Getting older is no excuse to slow down, in fact more than ever before it is important to keep moving.
Regular exercise is a critical part of staying healthy if you want to avoid premature ageing, heart diseases, diabetes, osteoporosis, being overweight and numerous other health issues.
People who are active live longer and feel better. Most adults need at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity at least five days per week. The key is to find the right exercise for you. The latest exercise routine on offer is the whole body vibrating (WBV) exercise machine used by famous baby boomers such as Madonna, Donatella Versace and Claudia Schiffer to keep them ageless.
The WBV exercise machine contracts muscles 30 to 50 times per second causing you to tense and relax your muscles 50 times more than normal. This means you can do an equivalent to a one-hour gym workout in just 20 minutes. Fitness trainers Ashlea Meredith and Kasey Tydd from Tone Zone in Noosaville, state that it is very important to exercise and build functional strength if you are over 40. Flexibility, strength, agility and mobility are all key factors in giving you a good quality of life and as you age you can lose these". “People tend not to look at flexibility and stretching in an exercise regime and you can’t not do that as you get older.
The trick is to find an exercise that is going to help with joint mobility, agility and flexibility and build strength without impact or maximising the potential for harm or injury.” According to numerous studies carried at by several universities in Europe and published in American journals, the whole-body vibrational training is perfect for that. “Apart from the fact that you work with a trainer, it’s not a high impact type of exercise, it’s low impact,” “ It predominately uses your own body weight for resistance, so it’s an alternative to resistance training without the risk of injury.”
Regular exercise has also been shown to improve your circulation as well as your lymphatic and endocrine systems, which will help to improve the way you look. “The whole vibrating machine will assist a sluggish metabolism and this also improves cellulite and your skin tone,” As we get older our muscles get smaller, and unfortunately that means we progressively lose strength. “Just having biceps that can lift muscle weights is no good if you don’t have the functional strength to support it,” “If for example we could get your biceps to lift 50kg and you don’t have the functional strength for it you are likely to hurt your lower back.
Having strength in your lower back, abdominals and transverse abdominal muscles as will reduce your risk of injury.”
Tone Zone has also received lots of feedback from women who have improved their pelvic floor muscles, which when weak from age or childbirth can cause incontinence as we grow older, using the WBV machine.
