What are endurance activities?
Endurance exercise is one of those four types of exercises that can be performed along with strength, balance and flexibility. Ideally, all four types of exercises can be included in a healthy workout routine. AHA provides easy-to-follow guidelines for endurance and strength-training in its recommendations for Physical Activity in Adults.
Activities or workouts which include more than two hours of involvement are termed as endurance activities. Long distance cycling, Triathlons, Football, Squash and such activities are an example of endurance training.
These endurance activities or exercises aren’t required to be done on a daily basis, but variety helps keep the body fit and healthy making exercise interesting. You can do various types of exercises to keep the body fit and healthy, while keeping the physical activity routine exciting and moving. Many different types of exercises can improve your strength, endurance, flexibility, and balance. For example, practising yoga will help you in improving balance, strength and flexibility of your body. A lot of lower-body strength-training exercises can also improve your balance.
