Meeting all cultural needs, the 'halal' way

​~ Body Conditioning

​

Incorporating body conditioning into your fitness plan provides all manner of benefits. A few these benefits are explained below:

​

​1. Body conditioning assists you in losing weight. It ​is able to do this

    by increasing your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), making you burn

    more calories twenty four hours per day, even when you are​

    resting or sleeping. You would agree that passive weight loss is a

    wonderful thing!

​

2. Participating in some form of body conditioning drastically

    reduces the risk of developing a number of chronic conditions

    later on in life by:
 

          - improving circulation and strengthening the muscles of the

            heart, lungs, and your overall cardiovascular system.
         - increasing the flow of blood to the brain, which is thought to

            improve concentration, memory, and mental acuity.
         - reducing the amount of plaque that has built up on artery

            walls, which decreases the risk of cardiovascular disease and

            heart attack.
         - reducing your body's body fat percentage. This alone has a

            wide array of benefits, including: reducing the pressure on the

            body's joints, improving the body's blood chemistry, reducing

            hypertension, improving confidence, and making physical

            activity easier.
         - reducing the risk of constipation, among other digestive

            disorders. By including body conditioning into your fitness

            plan helps the digestive system perform better. It also helps

            waste move through your body more quickly and easily.
         - improving the body's cholesterol profile by increasing high

​            density lipoprotein (HDL), the good cholesterol, while at the

            same time decreasing low density lipoprotein (LDL), the bad

            cholesterol.
         - reducing your body's triglyceride level, which leads to heart

            disease. Studies have shown that individuals with elevated

            levels of triglycerides are indeed at increased risk of heart

            disease.
         - reducing the risk of various cancers including: colon, breast,

            prostate, uterus, ovarian, and cervical.

​

The above, is just a small description of the many, many benefits of adding body conditioning exercises to your overall fitness plan. By participating in some form of body conditioning, you will quickly see an overall improvement in not only how you feel and how easily you get around, but you will be improving the overall quality of your life.
