Great Aerobics For Baby Boomers

Get in Shape Gradually and Safely

Hi everyone. I just wanted to say a few words about getting back in shape.You can get healthy gradually, and safely, without staining your heart with an electric bicycle.

One of the great aerobics for baby boomers and a safe fun aerobics for seniors is riding a bicycle with an electric assist motor that lets you pedal until you are tired and then senses when you are pedaling harder and automatically gives you help with pedaling. You can go up to 20 miles on a single charge with an electric bike motor kit. Some of these e-bike kits can go 30 mph and can be installed on your bike in 2 hours.

An electric bike motor is a great way to gradually build up your heart muscles by using your leg muscles.Your leg muscles are the largest muscles in your body. When you are pedaling you are giving your heat and lungs (your cardio-vascular system) a great workout by pumping these large muscles. This is what aerobic exercises are: exercising your heart and lungs.

But, you may need a little help on those steep hills if you haven't exercised in a while. Trying to get back in shape can be a lot harder if you haven't had time to exercise for a long time. I would suggest two things if you'e like me and have a hard time getting started exercising.

1. Find an exercise that is fun so you will stick to it.

2. Find an exercise that lets you build your strength gradually which is much, much safer than over-doing it when you are still out of shape.

Use Your Electric Bike in A Smart Way

You can incorporate your aerobic exercise into your daily routine in a smart way. For instance, you can use the electric motor on the way to work so you are not covered in sweat when you get there, and then use old fashion pedal power on the way home.

You can use your e-bike to run errands by putting a basket on it or attaching a cart behind it.

You can also attach a stroller behind it and pedal for exercise but switch to electric if the load gets to be too much.

The e-bike motor kit is can be installed in 2 hours by you or a bike mechanic and it's offers great aerobics for baby boomers and fun aerobics for seniors too.

Cardio Fitness Training-What Are My Options

It is important for everyone to have an exercise routine in their lives. Exercising is not only great for your appearance but incredibly beneficiary to your over all health and well being. Lifting weights is great and will make your body look much better, but more importantly you need some sort of cardio exercises as well. There is no sense in having your muscles covered in fat or running out of breath going up some stairs.Most people realize these but a large amount of people choose to ignore this. People have two major excuses as to why they can't or wont exercise. One, they don't have the time. Second, they don't know how to workout. I am going to help you get around both of those issues.

Most people that claim they don't have time to exercise are not being honest with themselves. Here are the best way to tell if you truly don't have enough spare time. What is your favorite television show? How often do you watch it? Where do you watch it? I have noticed most people watch at least one show on a regular bases. They usually do this on their couch enjoying a terrible snack. If you could afford to do this you could afford to exercise.

Go outside and take a walk outside for the length of the show. If you really can't miss that show then hop on the treadmill and watch while your exercise. Here is another way to tell if you have time. If you are reading this, chances are you could be getting a workout in. The key to getting in shape is to basically move. If you work in an office building with an elevator, pretend it is out of service and take the stairs, you might need some help finding out where they might be but trust me they are there. There is always time to do some extra moving throughout your day. When you get to work, park at the farthest, not closest parking spot. Did you notice you have time? Let's go ahead and view some options to take advantage of that.

A great way to exercise is to vary your workout or find something you enjoy to do. It is much easier to constantly do something you like than something you hate. Let go ahead and start with the most basic way to get a good cardio workout in. All you have to do is walk. Thirty minutes a day and you don't even need a destination. Just move. Just like everything in life The more effort you put into something, the more it will benefit you. You could increase the time or simply speed up the walk. The more time you do it the easier it becomes.

Soon you may be able to job for miles instead of walking for blocks. Finding some cardio fitness equipment is a great idea. Running on a treadmill is the best way to track you progress. You could track your average speed and distance very easily. Now if you have trouble with your joints then you may try using an elliptical machine which would work just as well.

If you want to go a little more advanced then you could consider plyometric training which is fancy for "jump training". If you have ever used a jump rope you would realize it is hard work. Getting your body of the ground may be harder on your joints but requires a large amount of energy which is a great way to increase your fitness level. Today there are a large amount of routines that basically have you constantly move for a certain length of time.

It may be difficult to find the motivation to begin a workout routine. I does't have to be. Have you ever been told by anyone that is fit that they hate to work out? or that they the way they look? or that they are tired? No. Being in better shape will make life better for absolutely everyone, no exceptions. You will look better and feel better.

You may not feel like you have the energy but remember this, you don't have to start out doing much. If you start from the bottom your body will slowly start to be more energized and ask for more. As you stay committed to a routine your energy will increase. Just make sure you give it some effort and in a short amount of time it will get much easier.

Everyone can afford to do this. There is a large variety of cardio fitness equipment available at various pricing. Having something at home is a great way to keep track of your progress and to allow you to get your workout on regardless of the time or weather. But if you don't have the money to spend, you don't need it. Walking, jogging and running are all absolutely free.

Cardio fitness is also very important to your health. Your heart and and lungs, which is your cardiovascular system also need exercise. Giving your cardiovascular system a good workout will help make everyday living much easier. You can run around with your kids, go on a hike, and just be around for longer. Doctors always recommend you exercise for other reasons other than to look good, that for them is just a plus.

I hope you have realized that being fit is important and easy to do. There are lots of options in getting some cardio fitness training implemented into your life. You will look better and feel better. All you have to do is try. There are no real excuses for most of us. Get out there, hop on your treadmill, go outside, jump around, just make sure you keep on moving as often as you can.
