Exercise Is A HEALTH Issue
by Cari Cole
Working out is not a sometimes thing for anyone — it’s a life-style. If you can get clear about that from the start and engage in a program of exercise sooner than later, you will save yourself years of the agony from procrastination besides saving your health. The benefits of exercise are not hard to figure out. Better health, better heart, better strength, better body. Who doesn’t want that?
Because exercise involves your breath and your cardiovascular system, it will give your voice the energy it needs for consistent healthy vocal production. 30-60 minutes, 3-4 times per week, will keep you in shape. I like to exercise almost every day. Once you get into it you’ll find you want to do it more because it stimulates your endorphins and it feels so good!
Jumping rope is actually one of the best aerobic exercises out there and a 15-20 session will do for you what a 30 minute aerobic workout will — Who doesn’t want more benefit in less time? I have developed a habit of buying workouts online and alternating them every day. This way I can workout in the comfort of my own home or when I’m on the road and have variety. They’re great for a rainy day or when you don’t have time to get to the gym.
Choosing the right type of exercise is super important. I do a blend of Weight Training, Aerobics (step or jogging), Yoga and Pilates to create lean and long but strong muscles. Everyone has a different constitution and needs a slightly different workout. Check out the Eat Right For Your Blood Type book and read about the link between exercise and blood-types.
Type O blood-types require heavy exercise to release their stress.
Type A blood-types require a more yogic approach to exercise as heavy exercise burns them out too much.
I recommend Yoga for everyone, but there are different types. If you fall in the O category, you should do Ashtanga or Iyengar Yoga which are more athletic and will be more challenging. For A types, Vinyasa Toga is better for you because the postures are not held as long and it is not as athletic.
Whatever your type, get out there and get moving! Your voice will thank you.
