Have you ever felt sad that you are not getting enough exercise every day? Do you feel that only heavy exercise every day can make a difference in your life? A new research by Duke University Medical Center gives a different answer. Even small amount of exercise can make a big difference in your life.
Exercise even as little as 1 hour a week can improve your quality of life and your ability to do daily tasks. This study is encouraging enough for people who are obese and overweight to exercise and be more active in their daily life.
The Research by Duke Diet and Fitness Center:
Researchers at Duke Diet and Fitness Center studied 1200 participants who were extremely obese. These participants were made to exercise for only 1 hour a week. The researchers observed that after exercising, these participants improved their ability to do daily tasks such as tying shoe laces, getting dressed, and moving around.
After exercising, the participants also improved their quality of life. They showed improvement in activities such as getting up from the chair, using the stairs, and walking. Symptoms such as shortness of breath also decreased after getting exercise.
Even a Little Exercise Helps:
This study shows that even little exercise can be beneficial. This is especially effective in the case of individuals who are overweight or obese. Being a little active in your daily life can help you to improve your health and quality of life.
Individuals who are obese or overweight may feel discouraged that even if they put an effort to be active, it may not make much difference. However, this study shows that no matter how little you exercise, it does make a positive difference in your life.
