The music came first within my life and from there I accepted exercise to enhance my stamina, endurance,
energy and muscular strength to launch my performance to another level on the drums. The music and the training (exercising)
works hand in hand to achieve the goal of better daily performance within the wellness of life.
After 6 months of engaging
in a cardiovascular and resistance training routine my energy, control of the drum set, power, flexibility and stamina improved
75%. By creating a low impact exercise routine that's used daily prohibited loss of flexibility or any encounter of stiffness
and immobility to play the drums. This allowed the body to overcome developing carpal-tunnel syndrome, arthritis, lower back
problems and unlimited physical stress factors due to bad posture.
Introduction To Managing Personal Health
It's
important to manage your health and your lifestyle by managing your diet, exercising regularly, and controlling your stress.
Physical benefits of managing your health includes having more energy, improving your cardiovascular health, and having less
risk of serious disease. Psychological benefits include being more confident, having self-esteem, and feeling better about
yourself.
Beginning your individual fitness program takes a sincere commitment to make a real difference in your own
life. It means learning from the past and preparing a strategy for health maintenance and behavior modification for the rest
of your life. Consistency is the most important element in gaining results.
Maintaining a healthy weight means avoiding
being overweight or underweight. Maintaining your proper weight has a big effect on the three areas of wellness: exercise,
diet, and stress. Don't try to lose weight too fast: don't skip meals; eat three meals or more a day to speed up your metabolism
and eat them slowly: and become more active.
National efforts are underway in health promotion and disease prevention
with specific emphasis on the reduction of risk factors related to physical and mental health, such as smoking, drinking,
diet, and exercise.
