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.
