Brief Description: 

Working out, whether at the gym or at home, you’ll get the most health benefits from balancing these important fitness categories: aerobics, weight training, and post/pre warm-up. Here’s a few reminders of why you should focus on all three:

Body: 
1. Reduce your risk of injury and make your workouts more effective by warming up before you exercise. For a general warm-up, perform any cardiovascular exercise at a slow to moderate pace for 5-10 minutes or until you break a sweat.

2. Aerobic exercise can increase immune function by raising the body's core temperature. This mimics a fever, killing invading bugs and increasing immune cells and response.

3. A regular routine of weight lifting or resistance training improves the muscles' ability to work more efficiently and providing enhanced muscle tone, appearance and strength. The psychological byproducts include enhanced mood, self-esteem, and confidence.
