Yes In Moderation: Moderate cardiovascular exercise is good.  But as with anything, extremes can be problematic.  Performing too much or too strenuous dancing can cause joint and muscle problems.  But again, exercise in general is a good thing for everyone.

Question 3

is sex a good way to exercise?

Question 4

is bike riding a good exercise?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is a good aerobic exercise and helps strengthen your heart and increases endurance esp if you ride more than 10 mph. If you ride at lower speeds, try to work up to 150 minutes per week. If you do vigorous rides, 75 minutes per week is recommended. Since cycling is not a weight bearing exercise it won't strengthen bones, so it's good to do other types of exercise too like strength training.

Question 8

is exercise good for an enlarged postrare?

Accepted Answer

No but . . .: I'm not aware of any exercise that's "good" for an enlarged prostate. However, any exercise has many benefits over the long haul such as lower risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, dementia, death, etc. So regardless of exercise's (lack of) benefit on prostate, don't just sit there, do something! ps recent study suggests aerobic exercise best to lose fat while resistance training good 4 muscle.

Question 9

Positive spin...: Look at the benefits and ask yourself which do you not want!
1. A leaner you.
