Regular exercise can help protect you from…..

Heart Disease and Stroke.

Daily physical activity can help prevent heart disease and stroke by strengthening your heart muscle, lowering your blood pressure, raising your high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels (good cholesterol) and lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels (bad cholesterol), improving blood flow, and increasing your heart’s working capacity.

High Blood Pressure.

Regular physical activity can reduce blood pressure in those with high blood pressure levels. Physical activity also reduces body fatness, which is associated with high blood pressure.

Noninsulin-Dependent Diabetes.

By reducing body fatness, physical activity can help to prevent and control this type of diabetes.

Obesity.

Physical activity helps to reduce body fat by building or preserving muscle mass and improving the body’s ability to use calories. When physical activity is combined with proper nutrition, it can help control weight and prevent obesity, a major risk factor for many diseases.

Back Pain.

By increasing muscle strength and endurance and improving flexibility and posture, regular exercise helps to prevent back pain.

Osteoporosis.

Regular weight-bearing exercise promotes bone formation and may prevent many forms of bone loss associated with aging.

Psychological Effects.

Regular physical activity can improve your mood and the way you feel about yourself. Researchers also have found that exercise is likely to reduce depression and anxiety and help you to better manage stress.

We had a special guest in the 91.5 studio today as Garry Holden, 2010 Biggest Loser Asia contender paid us a visit to talk about his bid to do both the Laguna Phuket Triathlon and the 70.3 Asia-Pacific Championship also at Laguna.

Last time we saw Garry here at 91.5FM he was crossing the finishing line at the end of the Laguna half marathon in June which he did with his wife Jackie and was looking for a new challenge.

There are few bigger challenges on the island than the Laguna Phuket Triathlon – described by many as the ironman of regular triathlons – but Garry decided that alone wasn’t enough and when he found out that Laguna were hosting the inaugural 70.3 Asia-Pacific Championship race he wanted to be part of that too, despite both events being only a week apart.

For the half an hour he was in the studio, we spoke about our preparations for the big race and plans for the future.

We also spoke about the relay at the Laguna Phuket Triathlon which still has places available. If you’re a good runner, swimmer or cyclist but found the idea of the full triathlon a bit daunting, why not find two friends and sign up.

Information is available at www.lagunaphukettriathlon.com and registration details are there too. You can also sign up for the 91.5FM 6km Fun Run happening on the same day giving you two chances to be part of what’s sure to be a great day down at Laguna on November 28.
