According to professor I-Min Lee, the old-style sport is not as good as many people think. Instead of running long distances, which can make joints and digestive systems problematic, Lee recommends five other types of exercise.
According to his research entitled "Starting to Excercise" the 5 types of exercise produce various benefits ranging from weight loss and muscle formation to protect the heart and brain, and strengthen bones.
Check out what the best sports he recommends.
1. Pool
Swimming can be the most perfect sport. In addition to moving almost all the muscles of the body, swimming also increases the heart rate to improve heart health and keep the brain from aging problems. Plus, being in a floating position makes this sport almost free from cramps.
"Nice pool for people who have arthritis because the body does not lift weights," Lee said.
