More Exercises for Perimenopause! (Physical Exercise for Perimenopause continued)
Jogging. This is an aerobic activity which you can alternate with your walking activity when you’re getting used to having some exercise already. You can actually replace walking with this if you’re already comfortable with the idea of integrating exercise in your daily life.
For starters, do a couple of minutes of brisk walking to warm up. Warm-ups prevent you from having pulled muscles due to a couple of hours of inactivity. If you start jogging and you run out of breath, just slow down so you can either jog slowly or walk until you get your breath back. Do an alternate walk-jog until you reach your desired time.
If you love music, then you can certainly bring your music with you for a more enjoyable jog – this will also help you relax, too. Avoid running downhill, especially in unfamiliar territory as you might take a fall. Also, steer clear of rocky paths as you might trip. Stay safe by staying in jogging paths – a jog in the park would be a good option, too, or even a jog around the block.
Cycling. Not all people are created equal – some are just not cut out for bicycling. But for those who enjoy it, then this is the perfect time to indulge in the sport.
If you’re one biking enthusiast, then its best that you invest in some good cycling gear – a bicycle (of course), a bike helmet that’s lightweight and well-ventilated, cycling shorts, and some bike Cycling. tools (like some Allen keys, a tire pump, a puncture repair kit and a spare tire – if you still have room for it.
Dancing. For this one, you may opt to have a dancing partner, or you may choose to go solo. There are a lot of types of dances out there – ballroom, folk dance, modern dance, disco, Latin dances, street dance, and even pole-dancing. You can learn dances from other countries.
Whatever you decide on, dancing is a good way to keep heart muscle active and healthy. The variety of dances that you can learn makes this exercise enjoyable, so go ahead and just dance!
Stretching. Stretching improves a lot of things – posture, blood circulation, your ability to relax. It also decreases joint stiffness and muscle tension. It’s as if all the stress in your body disappears with each stretch.
Stretching is recommended as part of other exercise regimens, usually before or just after exercising – your jog or walk. It is a time to cool your muscles down to make them more relaxed and less bundled up due to stress.
Go slow, never do hurried stretching to eliminate the risk of additional, new muscle pains. Always stretch both sides of your body muscles evenly. Don’t overstretch as you might pull a muscle out of whack in the process. And remember to breathe – you’re doing stretches, not contortion.
