The dictionary meaning of the word aerobic is “depending on free oxygen or air”. In living organisms, it denotes the consumption of oxygen in the metabolic processes of the body. The physical exercises which raise the use of oxygen by the body in its energy-generating operations, are known as the aerobic exercises. Aerobic exercise are among the highly appreciated physical-fitness-activities and is recommended by avowed exercise enthusiasts.

The benefit of aerobic exercise are many. The most important benefit is that they increase oxygen and blood circulation in the body. They raise the metabolic rate and tones the muscles. Aerobic exercises are quite simple and fun drills that are done playfully. A pair of good quality shoes, little space and your favorite high-beat music sets you ready to perform it at home only.

According to fitness experts, aerobic exercise should be performed at moderate levels in extended period of time. A typical aerobic exercise routine involves three phases, warming up, intensive movements and cooling down. Here is a brief description of all the three stages of an aerobic exercise session.

Warming-up Phase: Warming up is necessary before any strenuous activity as it stretches and loosens the body muscles. Warming-up prevents you from muscle cramp,muscle fatigue and injuries due to sudden jerk. You can warm up your body in several ways such as walk for about three minutes, climb the stairs or just step-touch backward and forward. Many sportsmen prefer warming up by bending forward and touching the toes for a count of 20-30. You can do other simple things like moving your arms one by one in circular motion, jumping for about five minutes,etc. You are ready for the next period when you feel your body warm and loosened up.

Comprehensive Phase: The comprehensive phase should last for about thirty minutes. Put on your preferred fast beat music. Repeat the below-mentioned movements to a count of six. The first movement is, step with your left foot, bend and try to touch the ground with the toe of the right foot. Do it alternatively as well. The second movement is to step your left foot, bend forward and touch the ground with the heel of your right foot. Do this movement alternatively. Step your left foot and raise your right foot and do it alternatively. The other aerobic movements involve moving four steps forward, backward and on the sides. Repeat this movement to a count of eight. Raise your arms towards the ceiling and bring them back down. Repeat this movement for a count of ten. Jump up and down for a few minutes. All these movements increase your heart beat, which itself raises the oxygen consumption. Physical activities such as swimming, rope-skipping and cycling are other examples of aerobic exercises. When you have been sweating for about ten minutes, you are ready to start with the final phase of the aerobic exercise routine.

A woman’s menstrual cycle is a natural part of life and should be regarded as such. Without it, we would not be able to reproduce and have children.

Continue reading this article to see if any of these ideas will give you some much needed relief.

Symptoms

Unfortunately, there are more than 100 symptoms of PMS. This tells you how many problems women can have with this time of the month. Some of the most common problems are:

• Headaches
• Migraines
• Sore breasts
• Weight gain
• Backache
• Bloating
• Cramping

Causes

Most women are very familiar with these symptoms but you may be wondering why you have these symptoms. There are two main reasons.

First, as you go through your cycle, your hormone levels change during the month depending on which phase you are in. It is these hormone changes that cause the migraines, sore breasts, weight gain, backache, bloating and cramping.

During the month, your serotonin levels also change. Serotonin is the brain chemical that helps to manage mood, sleep cycles, and your appetite. These changes cause you to have mood swings. You may be irritable, more aggressive, and angry for no reason. You can also experience food cravings just like when you’re pregnant.

As bothersome as the above mentioned symptoms are, things can actually be worse. Some women suffer from extreme PMS that is referred to as premenstrual dysphonic disorder. The acronym for this is PMDD.

When a woman has this, she often feels like she has completely lost control over her life and she often suffers from depression . She may withdraw from her family and friends and may reach a point where she just can’t cope with life anymore.

If you have the symptoms of PMDD, you need to talk with your doctor. PMDD is very serious and you will need medication to overcome it. You may be prescribed an anti-depressant if you suffer from PMDD. Anti-depressants will stabilize your serotonin levels.

It is no secret that an addiction to cigarettes is one of the toughest habits to break. While there are some people who can quit by the strength of will power alone, the vast majority of the smoking population requires the assistance of cessation aids and numerous attempts before quitting cigarettes for good. But with medical reports and statistics piling up over the years detailing the dangers of nicotine, the need to stop smoking has become more of a trend than smoking ever was.

Quitting cigarettes requires more than will power for most people, though. The addiction to tobacco is not only physical but mental and emotional. Smoking a cigarette becomes part of life for the addicted, and many need to completely readjust their lifestyles in order to successfully kick the habit.

A complete change in daily routine might be necessary. If smoking with coffee in the morning was a habit, there may be a need to start the day with water or juice instead. If smoking after meals was the norm, it might be helpful to immediately go for a walk after meals. Some form of exercise should be integrated into daily life as well, since the body will be craving some form of adrenaline that could be found in the healthy feeling that exercise provides.
