The easy workout regimen
January 28, 2010
At the dead end of a tired working day when you have done all the chores and sit on your chair watching the news on the television, an alarm rings in your head that you have forgotten the daily workout. It has been happening almost regularly and you don’t feel good about it. But that’s because you are planning to save some time up for the daily exercises. Now, what if you
don’t? it would be great indeed if you retired to bed with the feeling you had completed the work out for the day.
You have to realize that you don’t need a separate time slot for exercises. You can just get the workout done by changing a few movements in your daily routine.
Taking the stairs or carrying the groceries to the car is a good enough exercise if you follow
the right posture.
You only need thirty minutes of each day to carry on these easy exercises. To keep your belly muscles tight and strong, sit on the chair, with your back straight. Put your arms at the sides feet on the floor in a flat position, legs pressed and knees straight with hands that grip the bottom of the chair. Lift the knees, and exhale and inhale while you keep the knees up and put the feet on the ground. Do this 10-12 times. You can also keep the back away from the chair’s backrest and not lean on the arms heavily. Do this for four minutes.
For a firm upper body you could do something else. While you are carrying the grocery bag, while you stand or walk, keep the arms straight at the sides, holding the bag in one hand and with every step your take bend the arm and bring the bag up to the chest level. The bag should carry some weight. Then repeat with the other hand. This could be repeated 10-12 times.
For development of the inner thigh, stand on the left foot and extend the right leg in front until the right foot is 10 inches from the left foot and resting on the ground. Then slowly bring the right foot close to the left and again extend the left foot ten inches away from the right and with the foot on the ground. Now bring the left leg close to the right foot again. While standing on each foot let the body weight fall on that foot fully. Do this for four minutes.
Heel raises are easy and good exercises for the calves. Stand on the feet with one inch apart from each other. Slowly rise up lifting the heels off the ground. Count up to 12 and then put your feet down. Repeat. Do this for four minutes.
These simple exercises help to keep the body and the muscles supple and strong and build a healthy mind.
