Physical Activity for Women's Health
Cleaning is an inexpensive and effective way to help you get
more exercise. You might not see too many men using brooms or
vacuums at your gym, but you can turn your home into a private
health center. And as an added advantage, make your home
spotless clean.
Over the past decades, a women's work time has increased while
time spent doing housework has declined. Modern conveniences
such as washing machines, dryers and housekeepers have all
helped lessen the housework burden. While liberty from such
everyday jobs may appear to be a good thing, it has
progressively mechanized a stress-filled society. Today, about
22 percent of adult Americans are active at a level suggested
for any significant health benefits, but fewer than 10 percent
of adults exercise at an intensity that is adequate to improve
cardiovascular fitness. This is where housework can help?
Physical activity is the single most important activity you can
do to improve your health.. Even if you don't have the time or
the money to spend on a fitness club, you can still improve
your
fitness by engaging in daily activities such as housework.
Engaging in any regular activity at all can provide considerable
health benefits for those who have deskbound jobs which involve
sitting for a large part of the day and who do not partake in
any regular physical activity or sports in their spare time
time.
Recent research recommends spending at least 60 minutes each day
in a "on your feet" activity. This type of activity uses the
large muscle groups of the legs in walking, stair climbing,
gardening or housework. Housework combined with walking the dog,
yard work and using stairs can help form a foundation upon which
you can build your fitness program. Mopping that floor and
scrubbing the tub suddenly takes on a whole new meaning when you
consider the benefits of this type of housework.
