Why Do We Work Out?

“Working out or exercise is any bodily activity that boosts or maintains physical fitness and our overall health and wellness.”

Reasons to work out include improving our strength and health, developing muscles, improving our cardiovascular health, weight loss or maintenance, and enjoyment.

Since a good many of us are in either self-isolation or quarantine, it is important to maintain our health and to stay as active as possible. Some people are fortunate to have home gyms or even a back yard where they can exercise. 

However others, like me, just exercise in an area using whatever equipment we have. Still others are ordering home gym equipment to stay fit and healthy.

What Happens To Our Bodies When We Exercise?

When you exercise, you will notice your body going through several changes – you sweat, breathe heavier, get red in the face, your lungs feel as though they are going to burst, and your heart pounds!

Have you ever wondered how exercise is affecting each part of your body? It affects your heart, kidneys, brain, muscles, joints, lungs, diaphragm, your face and skin.

 Here is a great article supported with expert opinion from the Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine Center and other medical personnel explaining how each part of your body is affected during workouts.

What Should You Do After Working Out?

Our bodies need a recovery period after working out. Changing up your routine, (cardio, strength training, etc.) over the course of a week will give your body time to recover. After the workout:

• Cool down with a stretch – this will help to keep your muscles and joints more limber

• Drink plenty of water – sweating during workout uses up water in your body so you need to replace it. If not, you can end up with tiredness, headaches, and feeling lousy

• Take some protein, carbs and fats – to rebuild and heal your muscles and prevent the loss of lean mass – a good source would be Greek yogurt, eggs or Navy beans, bananas, nuts

• Replace electrolytes – sweating causes loss of sodium chloride, calcium, magnesium and potassium;  muscle cramping can occur –  a good source would be bananas or sports drinks

• Apply CBD sports creams – to soothe tired, sore muscles and joints, and target inflammation

• Get plenty of sleep – getting enough sleep is important to effectively rebuild muscles

After a week of strenuous exercise, do light ‘rest’ activities – maybe dusting the house, swimming, walking, etc. This will keep you active but at a much slower pace than your strenuous workout.
