PHYSICAL FITNESS, WEIGHT CONTROL, and STRESS RELIEF

Regular exercise is a critical part of staying healthy. People who are active live longer and feel better. Exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight. It can delay or prevent diabetes, some cancers and heart problems.

Most adults need at least 30 minutes of physical activity at least five days per week. Stretching and weight training can also strengthen your body and improve your fitness level.  The key is to find the right exercise for you. If it is fun, you are more likely to stay motivated.  Unlike other workout alternatives available to adults, Elite Defense Tactics offers a workout that includes all primary aspects of physical conditioning – Strength Development, Cardiopulmonary Conditioning and Flexibility Training, all while having fun.

Sixty-six percent of adults in the U.S. are overweight or obese. Achieving a healthy weight can help control cholesterol levels, blood pressure and blood sugar. It might also help prevent weight-related diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and some cancers.

Eating too much or not being physically active enough may make you overweight. To maintain a proper weight, the calories one eats must equal the energy one burns. To lose weight, one must use more calories than one eats. A weight-control strategy might include

  • Choosing low-fat, low-calorie foods
  • Eating smaller portions
  • Drinking water instead of sugary drinks
  • Being physically active (martial arts training)
