Effective Exercise
It’s no secret that people who exercise are healthier, live longer, and are more confident. Healthier, more confident people tend to get better jobs. You get more joy out of life when you exercise. There are a lot of different ways we can exercise. So, the real question is “What is the most effective way to exercise?”
Over the last twenty-three years I have played at least a dozen different sports, each with a different coach and each coach with a different training philosophy, style, and technique. No two bodies are the same. Let’s look at two different types of runners for a moment. A marathon runner will most likely run more miles in a given week to train for a particular race than a sprinter would run in that same week. The sprinter, on the other hand, will most likely lift weights on a more frequent basis than the marathon runner would. These two different runners with two different styles of running with two totally separate goals would require two extremely different training methods. Two people with different exercise goals can’t expect the same type of training to work for those two separate goals. No two people like to exercise for the same amount of time or like to do it in the same way. How do you train twenty guys with different skill levels, body types, and eating habits in the same exact way?
On the other hand, some common ground exists. Let’s look at a group of basketball players for example. Every basketball coach would like everyone on his team to shoot a high percentage from the free throw line. If a coach has everyone on the team practice their free throw shooting I’m sure everyone on the team will improve to some degree. I’m sure we all would like to have lower blood pressure. Most people that I know would definitely enjoy better endurance and stamina. Simple exercises like running and walking would certainly benefit everyone in these areas. Some principles in exercising are the same for everyone. If you want to be a better runner, you should go running. If you want to get stronger, lifting weights would help with that. There are certain exercises we can do that can be applicable to everyone.
So, what is the most effective way to exercise? Some people want to lift weights in order to bulk up. Some people want to lift weights in order to tone muscle. Other people don’t want to lift weights at all. Some people run for recreation. Some people run at a more competitive level than others. What is the right way to exercise? If everyone has a different goal it’s not as simple as what is right and what is wrong.
