It’s important to do something else than only exercising. You need to play a sport or do something you enjoy doing physically. The exercising part is just to help you get better performances by improving your muscles and reflexes. Doing sport allows you to enjoy your physical abilities and the muscles you’ve worked on while ameliorating your fitness at the same time.
Doing a sport is important in itself because it will stimulate more muscles at once and it will also help you improve your coordination. When you are exercising, you do not have to look at a ball coming toward you and to get ready to hit it with what happen to be in your hands. This increases the difficulty just a bit more. But since you’ve exercised, your reflexes will be boosted as you’ve gained more physical power.
THE SPORT
Warm up like before any physical exercise or performance. Do a bit of cardio and warm up the muscles that will be triggered the most during your activity. You’re now ready to perform your sport and get the most out of it.
IF you have no sport in mind or you’re not doing sport currently I would suggest you find one. If you can’t decide which one to do, try them all, see what you like. If none interests you, I’d suggest you take swimming. Swimming is great because it’s one of the best sport to improve your cardio while working pretty much every muscles on your body. If you already have one sport, then you might want to do swimming also because of it’s great benefits. You can check the Wikipedia List of Sports for a list of possible sport that might interest you.
Be sure you’ve hydrated yourself before the activity because if you drink while you’re in the middle of it, you might get cramps. Drinking water will help you to keep your saliva liquid for a longer period of time. When we perform intensive activities such as running for an extended period of time, our saliva start to become more sticky and turn into mucus which doesn’t feel good in your mouth.
Tips to get the most out of your sport
- Warm up before performing, this include doing dynamic stretching in order to increase the temperature of your muscle and their effectiveness
- Do your sport using your brain. If it’s a team sport, play with your team, not alone.
- Cool down a after your performing in order to prevent soreness and other pain
- Stretch while you are cooling down to gain flexibility
