One of the most successful ways of accomplishing weight loss and improving fitness level is regular exercise. Apart from easing you to shed extra pounds, exercise also aids the brain into releasing chemicals which improve mood, contribute in better heart health and increase energy levels of your body. Exercise helps you in losing weight by burning more calories which you consume. It clearly means that if you do not want to diet, don’t diet, you can still burn more calories through exercising instead. Those interested in starting exercise can take benefit of numerous tips to achieve better health and enjoy the experience. Let’s take a quick glance over best exercise tips

Stretching: Think of the muscle as an elastic band. It will most likely stretch further and more smoothly when it is warm rather than if it was cold. The same principle applies for a muscle. To stretch tight neck muscles, look straight ahead and bend your neck so that one ear is leaning towards the shoulder on the same side. You may add the weight of your hand and hold for 2 minutes or 30 seconds repeated 4 times. Do the same for the opposite side. This may seem like a long time but it is necessary for muscle memory. It’s futile to spend less than 30 seconds. Another stretch for the hips, buttocks, and low back is to cross the right ankle over the left knee or thigh while sitting straight in a 90-degree angled chair. Place your right hand on your right bent knee and lean forward, gradually increasing the stretch by providing pressure to the knee. Feel a gentle stretch and hold it for two minutes or 30 seconds, then repeat four times more. Repeat with the opposing leg.

Self-massage: Tennis or golf balls are useful tools for relieving muscle tension quickly. To alleviate stiff neck muscles, roll the ball on your neck and shoulder with the palm of your hand. You can put your upper back (the fleshy area between your spine and your shoulder blade) or your lower back (avoid the spine) on top of the ball by simply placing it on the floor. Keep your knees bent while you manage your body sliding over the ball with your legs. Another sciatica self-massage method is to sit on the ball of a chair and place your hands over the armrest for support and pressure control.

Hydrotherapy: Is it better to ice or not to ice? This is the most often asked question when it comes to injuries and muscle pain relief. When in doubt, apply ice for no more than 10 minutes. Ice is typically used to reduce inflammation (an overactive healing response that generates pain, redness, swelling, and heat) that occurs after a rapid injury, such as an ankle sprain. Heat is applied once the inflammation has subsided. Its purpose is to enhance circulation, which aids in the healing process. It reduces chronic muscle tension and relaxes the nervous system. It only takes 20 minutes.
