Benefits of Freehand exercises

Freehand exercises have a tonic effect on the muscles and internal organs. They tone up the circulatory system and are beneficial in safeguarding the general health of the body. Advanced freehand exercises shape and muscularize the body.
Freehand exercises consist of push-ups, dips between chairs, dips on a bench, rowing between chairs, rope climbs (if there is a gymnasium accessible!), pull-ups, knee bends, one-leg squats or stationary lunges, sprinting, race-walking, lying leg curls, one-leg and two-leg calf raises, and perhaps the most challenging: handstand push-ups. Most of these exercises can be done in your home or hotel room when you are out of town. There is never an excuse not to exercise or "tone up!"
Benefits
Cutting Your Expenses
Gyms used to ask for extra charges for providing exercising equipments to the practitioners. So, when you are practicing free hand exercises, you are instantly cutting down the expenses.
Fitness and Confidence
As in these types of exercises, you need to pull or push your own body weight; therefore, the exercises are balance based and outdoorsy. So, you get an opportunity to get out of the sedentary lifestyle and workout in the open. Experts believe that running, swimming, push-ups, crunches etc are free hand exercises that improve wholesome fitness and confidence
Involving Family
As these exercises are easy to perform and have minimum to zero chances of side effects, therefore, you can practice these exercises with your family members. Workout techniques such as- running, hiking, push-ups etc are suited for people of every age group.
Health of Heart
Use of equipments while exercising, reduces the stress and isolates the focused muscle group for extensive pressure. It improves the tone of these muscles but reduces the heart beating rate and metabolism level.
Experts believe that free hand exercises can increase heart beat rate and improve inner health.

Benefits of running

Running is one of the easiest and healthiest fitness tips to quickly boost your fitness and helps you to shed excess flab almost as soon as you start a regime. Running doesn’t cost a single penny aside from perhaps buying some exercise clothing (don’t attempt a sprint in slim jeans), and it can be done anywhere, anytime. If you feel self-conscious, use Google Maps to find a location near where you live that’s not densely populated. You don’t have to be embarrassed to run in public and you should feel good about yourself for making an effort.

 Benefits of running

1. Healthy heart Running is one of the best ways to give your heart muscle an effective workout.
2. Weight loss The average runner burns 1,000 calories an hour during a training session.
3. Osteoporosis If you run on a regular basis you are continually taxing your muscles and bones.
4. Mental health A regular running habit will you lift your mood and build self-esteem. It also increases your self-confidence.
5. Sleep Studies show that runners find it easier to get to sleep at night and sleep longer.
6. Stress Running increases your ability to cope with everyday minor irritations and stresses.
7. Happiness Endorphins engendered by exercise mean that people who run are often happier than those who don't: ever felt that sense of elation during or after a run (known as the runner's high)? Running regularly can also improve patience, humour and ambition, and make you more good-tempered and easy-going.
8. Anxiety Runners generally have a lower level of anxiety than those who don't run. One study suggests that regular training reduces the activity of the serotonin receptors in the brain which regulate mood.
9. Immune system If you are a runner you will find that you have a stronger immune system, that means you'll suffer less from minor illnesses such as colds, allergies, fatigue, menstrual discomfort, backache, and digestive disorders.
10. Brain power You can increase your mental functions by going running as it boosts blood flow to the brain and helps it receive oxygen and nutrients, making you more productive at work.
11. Complexion Running stimulates your circulation, improving the transportation of nutrients around your system and flushing out waste products.
12. Fat burn By running you are building lean muscle, changing your body composition and your metabolism. Cultivate a regular running habit and you should see a gradual, healthy inch loss.
