During the Stone Age, whenever our ancestors needed food they had to hunt for it and this hunting involved a lot of running and jumping (after wild game), climbing (to pluck fruits) and even swimming (to catch fish). But the physical exertion didn't just end there. After they had gathered their food, they had to carry or drag them back to their caves. All these involved a lot of hard manual labour and we can rightly say that our Stone Age ancestors certainly "exercised" a lot.
With the advent of the Industrial Revolution, machines replaced more and more of manual labour until today, that is the Information Age, almost everything seem to be mechanized or automated. As a result, it is now necessary for us, whether we are male or female, young or old, to make regular physical exercise a part of our lifestyle.
The purpose of regular physical exercise is to make us become more physically fit so that we can live not only longer but better and more useful lives. The physical exercises that we participate in should include these essential components in order for us to be truly fit:
- Strength training
- Stamina and endurance training
- Flexibility training
In this modern day world, whenever we talk about strength training, barbells, dumbells and machines come into our minds. We can achieve much strength by training with these 3 equipment, but strength can also be achieved by using our own bodyweight as the resistance.
What is Stamina and endurance training?
Again, whenever we talk about stamina and endurance training, running and jumping come into our minds. But stamina and endurance training can also mean training with barbells, dumbells, machines or our own bodyweight as the resistance in a circuit-style fashion or interval-style fashion.
What is Flexibility training?
Any kind of stretching exercise is considered as flexibility training. The stretching exercises that martial artists and athletes perform as warm-up before or after their actual training are flexibility exercises. Flexibility training is the most neglected component of many exercise regimen and sport. This training is a must-have ingredient for any exercise programme or sport as it not only help prevent injuries but also transform one into a better athlete.
