5 Best Anti-Aging Exercises

By Jennifer Bowers


The decreased production of hormones as we age could take its toll on our physical appearance. In order to combat the effects of aging, one should do some anti-aging exercises that are designed to revitalize hormone production and keep the body limber and strong. Studies have shown that nothing works better to attain anti-aging effects than a regular exercise program. Take note that we are talking about regular exercise - sporadic exercise or exercise without a consistent schedule won't be worth all the effort.

There are certain types of exercises that will help you stay active, live a longer and happier life and stay mentally alert. Your exercise regime could easily be determined by several things, including your physical shape, your daily routines, as well as your own personal needs.

Anti-Aging Made Easy Through Exercise

There are three definitive types of exercises that are best suited for an anti-aging regime:

Flexibility. Nothing beats aging better than by building your flexibility. Not only is it good to keep the body limber and increase blood circulation, it also helps release serotonin, a chemical that works towards improving your morale and overall health, particularly mental health. These exercises can be done with little effort and are also very safe.

Develop Strength These exercises will help build sturdiness and sustain bone mass. Your chances of having a debilitating injury are lessened as you build your muscle strength. Exercises to improve the muscles in your shoulders, back and legs will also help with hormone production.

Cardiovascular. Designed to keep your heart healthy, aerobic exercises also help fight depression and keep your weight down. These are also a good way to release hormones through brain chemicals - some of the other cardiovascular exercises you can add to your schedule are running and brisk walking.

There is no best time to exercise, but research shows that morning exercise is more dangerous in terms of joint or muscle injuries, due to the fact that they aren't as warmed up or flexible as they should be.

Preferably, exercise when you aren't too tired, but when you've been up and about for awhile. Mid afternoon seems to be a good time for most people to perform exercises without too much fear of injury.

You don't need a home gym or an expensive membership in a neighborhood gym. One simple piece of equipment will be perfect - this needs to be something you will use regularly for your anti-aging exercise regime.
