Excerpt from
“Live Pain Free! 6 Steps to a Pain Free Life” by Dr. Pamela Avery
Do you know you need to exercise but somehow can’t find time to do it? Do you have a basement full of equipment collecting dust or a treadmill with all your clothes draped over it in a corner? When you do try to exercise, do you wind up hurting more and needing more medication? Have you seen so many infomercials for “the best new way to lose weight, flatten your abs, melt away flab, etc………..” that your head is spinning? Or have you seen numerous physical therapists and still have no idea what is the best way to exercise for you? Then you will be delighted to hear how easy it is to get enough exercise to improve your health, manage your weight and impact your pain without having to exercise six hours a day like Jane Fonda!
Did you know that people who perform simple exercise such as walking on a regular basis, experience improved mood, improved immunity, reduced symptoms and longer lives? Did you know that even cancer patients in active treatment who exercise enjoy these benefits?
Physiology of Exercise
There are two types of exercise your body needs for optimal health, weight control and pain control – aerobic and anaerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise simply means exercise that uses oxygen to burn calories as your muscles work to generate energy.
