Along with eating right, your body still has to get into motion. Not everyone has the time to do a high intensity work out every day, but remember, you still need to be moving. Even if your schedule is packed for the week, there are many different simple exercises you can do everywhere you are.One thing exercise you can do are squats. These are very helpful and easy to do anywhere. For instance every time you leave a bathroom do 10x squats. Or when you wake up or go to bed just do another 10x each time.
Another beneficial thing to do is sit-ups. Every morning and every night while you’re by your bed, put your feet under and do 30x each time.
Also, while you are waiting for food either in the microwave or oven you can do 20x jumping jacks and 10x high-knee jumps.
While you are at home watching T.V. , and every time there is a commercial, get on the floor and do 10x leg raises, 20x crunches, and 10x oblique crunches on each side. Then you don’t have to feel the guilt of just staying at home and watching a show if you are not in the mood for the gym.
Think about how when you are brushing your teeth, you’re just standing there when you could be doing a quick exercise. An easy thing is a 90 second wall sit, but you have to do it correctly. Make sure your back is fully against the wall, shoulders down, and legs in a 90 degree angle.Sometimes, when you are sitting for awhile either in work or school, you can start to feel a little sluggish. A little exercise you can do is just squeezing and releasing your abs while you are just sitting there!
Finally my last tip for a little body moving strength, is for when you are doing your hair or makeup. While you are either straightening hair, curling hair, or even just putting on a little cosmetic, do toe raises. They may sound simple but after doing them for a couple minutes, you will start to feel the pain.
These are just some quick little tips if you can’t either get to the gym or if you want a little extra movement.
