Obtaining health benefits through physical activity is not that complicated: you need to accumulate 30 minutes every day. It's the minimum. It can be a single effort or several sessions. Today, I'm giving you 15 great ideas on how to easily add up effective minutes.
At home…
Get in the habit of doing everything yourself: shoveling, picking up dead leaves, gardening, stacking logs, etc. All of these activities work several muscle groups at the same time and are very cardiovascular.
Don't let anything accumulate at the top or bottom of the stairs. On the contrary, multiply the opportunities to borrow the latter.
Get into the squat posture by drying your hair, vacuuming, washing dishes, applying makeup, cooking, etc.
Regularly exercise your calves by walking or standing on your tiptoes. Along with exercising your muscles, this habit helps develop your balance.
With family…
Go outside and play with the children.
Organize chores as a family: shoveling, hanging clean clothes on the line, cleaning the yard.
Take advantage of the children's activities to activate yourself by walking, running or by improvising an exercise circuit.
Organize fun family competitions: jump as high as possible, do crazy dance moves or hit a target with a foam ball.
Take turns improvising exercises during TV commercials.
Equip yourself to be able to move around at home: jump rope, rubber bands, etc.
At work…
Take a 15 minute walk after dinner.
Every hour, take a break to do exercises while sitting in front of the computer: abdominal and back contractions, shoulder rotations, stretching, etc.
Take several breaks and walk around your home.
If your home has a staircase, make it a habit to walk or run up and down several times a day. Quickly you will be burning lots of calories and strengthening all the muscles in your lower body.
Simply reconnect with the pleasure of moving.
