Workout Anytime

More and more research keeps coming out about the benefits of regular exercise for improving immune function, decreasing the likelihood of experiencing serious Covid Symptoms, and decreasing your odds of infection.
One of the latest studies from Glasgow Caledonian University showed that regular exercisers are 50% more likely to have a higher antibody count after receiving a vaccine than somebody who is not active.
In this study researchers specifically looked at aerobic exercise – like walking, running, or cycling – or combined aerobic and resistance activity delivered three to five times per week for an average of 30 minutes at moderate to vigorous intensity for 12 weeks.
The study showed that these levels of activity are associated with a 31% lower risk of contracting infectious disease and 37% lower risk of dying from an infectious disease.
The take home message is that regular exercise:
Improves immune function
Increases resistance to covid infection
Improves Antibody Levels when vaccinated
So now is NOT the time to stop exercising!
