SAN JOSE, Calif., February 5, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Do you know how daily exercise affects the circulation system in one's body? What makes aerobic exercise an effective routine for preventing heart disease? Seasoned physical educator Ronald Portal answers these questions and many more in his book Aerobics, The Invisible Advantage (now available through 1stBooks Library).
Portal imparts information that makes his readers fully understand why they do particular exercises in the first place. What is the true value of "lift, bend, and stretch?" Aerobics, The Invisible Advantage discloses such important information, as well as lessons about:
The actual cause and effect chain explaining why exercise is extremely beneficial.
Why a lack of aerobic exercise is to blame for hardening of the arteries and the development of excessive cholesterol.
The improved arterial profile resulting from aerobics.
Portal believes the notion that people are not what they eat but rather, they are what they do.
Aerobics, The Invisible Advantage is a smart way of looking at the reasons why exercise can improve how we go about our lives. Many times, we all want to just sit back, not knowing the simple mechanics that guide the human body. Portal draws the reader's attention to issues such as achieving a lower resting pulse rate and preventing arteriosclerosis. As the first published explanation of how aerobics actually influences the inside diameter of arteries, this book targets educators, the medical community, athletes, and anyone interested in improving their health.
Ronald Portal has 37 years of experience in teaching physical education for the San Jose Unified School District. He is now retired and lives in San Jose, Calif.
