Without a taint of doubt, a moderate routine exercise is good for health and feel.
"The amount of exercise required to achieve such benefits is relatively modest and amounts to 2 h of exercise per week at an intensity of 6–10 metabolic equivalent of tasks (METS) divided over three bouts of exercise. Examples include a brisk walk, a gentle jog at a pace of 6.4–8 km/h or cycling at a pace of 15–20 km/h. Even lower intensities of exercise have a beneficial prognostic impact compared with a completely sedentary lifestyle."
May be to some of our surprise, neither a thigh gap nor a round butt is the target for optimal health.
As exercise is getting a lot more attention for various reasons, I wish to share here a technical paper on how too much exercise at the athlete's level can be bad to our hearts.
We see the extreme cases among the athletes. For the fame, power, money and perks poured on to high performers, many athletes have over done it and some may misuse drugs to attain optimal performance. To a point when the heart can not cope, it forces itself to another odd state and shape, we gets an unhealthy heart.
Let's read up, when exercise is too much and is bad for health. May more of us understand that moderation is the key to healthy living.
