Not Sweating?

Exercise More and Start Sweating!

The end summer and start of school are both here. Happy times with family and friends are just nice  memories. As the joy of summer fades it is replaced with the daily grind of work, school elder care, childcare etc. So who has time to work out? For some, exercise is more difficult because of the weather or their own physical limitations. But even the most strapped for time among us can realize some post summer good news; Sweating and Exercise Are Good So Do More.

Exercise is like compound interest, it accrues to the individual throughout the day and it doesn’t matter what or where it gets done. Here are a few ideas:

1. 1. Walk indoors. Shopping malls are perfect for this. They are climate controlled, reasonably safe and there is always a place for coffee or some other healthy beverage at the end.
   2. Push-ups. Exercisers could literally do pushups in an elevator, that is how little room they require. Pushups work the arms and chest of course but they also tone and strengthen the torso. Great for golfers, tennis players, competitive runners or anyone involved in any sport or who wants to stay in shape.
   3. Stand on one leg. Martial artists will work to see how long they can stay upright on a single leg. After a time, those same people will do single leg presses. Try doing one or two, then work your way up. Use a chair for balance at the start to keep from falling.

Benefits of Sweating
There are several paybacks to those who sweat beyond the obvious cooling through evaporation.

1. Ease pain and muscle stiffness. Working up a good sweat might be the thing that works a kink lose because, “exercise stimulates neurochemical pathways in the brain, resulting in the production of endorphins that act as natural painkillers,” says James Ting, MD, a sports medicine physician at Hoag Orthopedic Institute in Irvine, California.
2. Sweating is good for the complexion. “When you sweat, your pores open and release the grit and grime that has built up inside of them,” says Whitney Bowe, MD, a dermatologist in Briarcliff Manor, New York. Caveat: on’t just sweat and go. All of that dirt from your pores accumulates on the surface of your skin, so aim to wash your face three times a day, especially if you are constantly playing sports or working out.
3. Sweating helps rid the body of toxins. Some experts believe that sweating can flush the body of system-clogging substances like alcohol, cholesterol, and salt. Get the most bang for your bod with indoor cycling or circuit training— two of the sweatiest workouts, according to Melissa Morin, an exercise physiologist and Senior Director of Group Exercise at New York Sports Club.
4. Sweating helps control mood swings. It seems natural that we associate feeling warm with a sense of well-being and relaxation, but there may in fact be a scientific explanation for this feeling, says Dr. Ting. “Research has suggested that temperature-sensitive neural circuits to specific regions in the brain exist and may play a significant role in controlling mood.” So the next time you sense yourself being short, take a break for a Bikram yoga session or a run for a get-happy fix.
5. Kidney Stones: Any guy who has had them will tell you there is nothing worse. Research from the University of Washington found that regular exercisers sweat out salt and tend to retain calcium in their bones, rather than having them — salt and calcium — go into the kidneys and urine where stones form. Frequent sweaters also tend to drink more water and fluids, which is another stone prevention mechanism. Originally published on FitnessMagazine.com, August 2013.Housework.
