Fitness does not
require a five mile run. Staying fit does not mean one has to
always go to the gym, either. There are ways around performing
a rigorous sport such as tennis to accomplish one’s daily dose
of exercise. For those days, where you cannot find the time
to get out of the house, there are several exercises you can
do to fit a work-out in your day:
Hip
and Derriere Trundle: The target areas of this maneuver focus
on the derriere and hips. Sitting on the floor, place your legs
straight out the width of your hips. Then stretch your arms
out parallel to your extended legs with your toes pointing upward.
Next, start walking on your buttocks. Remember to keep your
legs stretched out.
Recommended repetitions: Perform
this exercise for three to five minutes.
Abdominal crunches: The target
area for this exercise is the upper part of the abdominals.
Lying face up on a work-out, bend your legs at the folds of
your knees with your feet on the ground. Lock your arms behind
the neck and gingerly elevate your head and shoulders off of
the floor. Make partial bends forward. Nest then lower the head
and shoulders back to the mat – returning to position number
one.
Recommended repetitions: Go
for the abdominal crunch 12 to 15 times with 15-20 second pauses.
Backward crunches: To focus
on toning the lower part of your abdominals try this exercise.
Lie down just as you did in the abdominal crunches. Unlike,
the regular crunch, plant your entire upper body including your
keeping head, and shoulders planted on the mat. Move your knees
in the direction of your chest until your knees are almost touching
your chest. Then, lower your legs without allowing them to make
contact with the floor. Return to the original position without
touching the mat and repeat the motions.
