 START COUNTING CARDIO FITNESS:
KEY COMPONENT OF TOTAL WELLNESS
Cardio Fitness + Diet + Stress Relief + Strength Training = Well-Being
"Unsaturated fats, net carbs, total fiber, total calories!" Everyone is counting something when it comes to getting fit. But are we counting what really matters most? Fit men, women and children are not created by diet alone. Total well-being counts on much more than just carbs or calories.
For a Healthy Diet, people must count on and count out a balanced array of essential nutrients and total calories. Because this balanced array depends on numerous factors - age, sex, genes, weight, height, lifestyle, etc, the USDA emphasizes that total nutritional health depends on acquiring "caloric input" from each of the five major food groups. (www.nal.usda.gov)
Stress Relief can accentuate healthy lifestyles. Since stress can directly impact eating habits, physiological and emotional behaviors, and immune systems, managing stress well can often count as a double benefit towards a person's total health and fitness. (http://www.cdc.gov). With less stress, healthier lifestyles are easier to achieve.
Quantified research has shown that Physical Exercise is best at reducing stress and certainly pays double dividends, with both physical fitness and emotional well-being improving. But the trick is to determine how much physical exercise is needed, beneficial or even productive?
Great news - you do not have to be a PhD to determine how much exercise will benefit you, just like you do not have to be nutritionist to count calories. Exercise machines like PaceMaster treadmills may not be able to count the calories you eat, but they certainly can count the calories you burn. However these machines do much more than count calories. they actually evaluate, coordinate, motivate and monitor your progress towards cardio fitness.
PaceMaster treadmills accurately measure Cardio Fitness because they are integrated with the NASA inspired cardio-vascular training research of Dr. Kenneth Cooper. Cooper's research developed an 'Aerobic Point' system that acts as a quantified prescription for levels of Cardio Vascular fitness. Using Aerobic Points, PaceMaster treadmills allow exercisers to precisely measure cardio impact before a workout and intelligently count their way to total fitness.
Research also highlights that Strength Training provides multiple benefits. It strengthens bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles, plus it helps burn more calories. Counting just two weightlifting sessions a week, people often benefit from improved balance, quicker recovery, and reduced injury risks.
It is easy to see the importance of diet, stress relief, and strength training, but at the heart of your total well-being is cardio fitness. As a complete fitness solution, PaceMaster treadmills help design programs, monitor progress, evaluate feedback, and reach your cardio goals. So start counting on cardio fitness for a healthier lifestyle.
