How it worksIncreasing stamina or cardio respiratory endurance – making your heart and lungs deliver oxygen-rich blood to your muscle cells. Your heart rate will not rise as high with equivalent exertion, and will return to normal more quickly following exercise. You will also have increased your stamina for the everyday activities of life, not just for exercise.
Increased muscular endurance – your muscles will be able to work longer and harder before they lose strength or feel exhausted (‘fatigued’). This effect can also see you feeling more able to cope with everyday physical tasks. |
Looking and Feeling better
You look better when you’re in shape and eating right. Staying active helps you tone muscles and improve your posture. Both moving more and eating healthy are important to maintaining a healthy weight.
