Healing the body:
Boredom is the main reason that people desert an exercise program. After the first few weeks of an exercise program, anyone will begin to feel better. Endorphins, the good-feeling hormone secreted by the brain, are released with exercise.
Interval training beats the boredom as it incorporates several types of exercise. Switching the exercises daily as well as the length of time for each exercise and reps (repetitions). The basic types of exercise that need to be included in a program are:
(1) cardio exercise (needs to be done 3 times weekly) builds endurance ,
(2) strength-training exercise builds muscle (needs to de done daily),
(3) stretching exercise (needs to be designed to include all the major muscle groups 3 times weekly).
