Baby Boomers; How You Can Reduce Your Risk For Disease adn Maximize Your Routine.
Topic Info
Baby Boomers are at risk for many major chronic diseases. It is essential to find an intensity at which to exercise, and when you're working out, know when to pick up the pace —and when to back off a bit.
It is very important to think about exercise intensity when you're doing physical activity. It becomes very important to know how to measure exercise intensity. For the Baby Boomer set, It can help you be more fit and help you to get the most out of your workouts. The intensity at which you exercise reflects the amount of oxygen your body uses to do an exercise and the number of calories you burn while doing it. In aerobic activity — such as walking, swimming or cycling — exercise intensity translates into how hard the activity feels to you. Vik Khanna, MHS, PA, comes on the show to discuss the intensity at which you exercise and how Baby Boomers can get the best results from your workouts.
