Physical Therapy Exercises
Endurance
Exercises
These are a
set of activities that increase heart rate and respiratory rate.
Physical activities such as walking, jogging, running, biking, and
rope jumping can, over time, improve the health of the lungs, heart,
and blood vessels. Moreover, endurance exercises, if performed
regularly, can also be an effective deterrent to diseases, such as
diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and even certain cancers.
The following
endurance exercises will help you strengthen your cardiovascular
endurance, and as a consequence improve lung and heart health.
Walking
Still
considered as one of the best forms of activity to improve
endurance, walking is something that everyone can do. What’s more,
it is simple enough that even if you have little time to be active,
you will not have trouble finding time to do this particular
endurance exercise.
Walking
allows you to accomplish a number of things in one go. First, you
get time for your physical activity. Second, you get time for
yourself. And finally, you get time with your friends who may
accompany you.
Push-Ups
If you want
to improve your arm endurance, then try doing a minimum of 10
push-ups without resting between each one. If you cannot accomplish
10 push-ups at first, try reducing the number to 5 push-ups without
resting between each one. Then, increase the number as you progress
until you can finish 10 push-ups in one session.
After each
session, allow yourself to relax for about 30 seconds, then repeat
the whole exercise two or more times.
Bench
Stepping
-
Place a
sturdy bench or chair against the wall. Make sure that the bench
is sturdy and steady enough to support your weight when you step
on it.
-
Step up
with your right foot, followed by your left foot, and back down
with right, then left. Do this at a rapid pace for one minute.
-
After
your one minute is up, allow yourself a rest for 15 seconds
before repeating the exercise four times.
