Motivation Innovation: Cyber-Exercising ? Self-Help And Development

BENEFITS OF EXERCISE: ?It is well known that exercise is important to a person?s overall health, and everyone can benefit from exercise regardless of sex, age, or physical ability. (Source: www.mayoclinic.com)

HOW MUCH EXERCISE: ?There has been conflicting suggestions on how much a person should exercise in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle. In general, it is recommended that adults do at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity 5 days a week. This includes older individuals who are still actively mobile and in fact, it is especially important for elderly people to maintain physical activity and mobility. (Source: www.bbc.co.uk)

TIPS: Some tips on how to start exercising and keep at it:

  • Do physical activities that are enjoyable. If a person doesn?t like the exercise, they probably won?t continue to do it.
  • Start off slowly and gradually increase the intensity or frequency of the physical activity. Trying too much at the beginning can lead to frustration or even injury.
  • Exercises that place high physical stresses on the bones are necessary for bone health.

EXERCISE FOR TWO: New research from Michigan State University reveals working out with a virtual partner improves motivation during exercise. Participants performed the first series of five exercises alone holding each position for as long as they could. After a rest period, they were told they would do the remaining trials with a same-sex virtual partner whom they could observe during their performance. The partner?s performance was manipulated to be always superior to the participant?s. Results showed that task persistence was significantly greater in all experimental conditions.

JOGGOBOT:
Floyd Mueller and Grather, researchers at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia, tricked out the Parrot AR Drone, which is usually operated with a smartphone, to fly autonomously. Using a built-in camera, the autonomous drone hones in on sensors in a custom shirt and exhorts you to keep up with it.? You can set it for companion mode ? in which the drone flies at a steady pace ? or coach mode, which sets a slightly more challenging speed. The battery last for 5 hours. (Source:Forbes.com)
