To many people, allocating a certain amount of time everyday just to do some work out sounds easier said than done. For, there is hardly enough time squeezing everything that needs to be done into the 24-hour stretch we are given, let alone doing things that can be skipped altogether. If, to you, exercise falls in this category (it is for many not-so-motivated people out there), then chances are, having exercices in your daily routine is a tall order. Start Small However, if you are motivated enough to change this way of thinking, but are worried about finding the time to incorporate exercices in your daily routine, do not despair. Millions of others think the same way about exercices. The trick is to find ‘exercise opportunities’ that are likely to be there as you go about your chores. Start small by promising yourself just ten minutes a day. Ten minutes is not sufficient to change your health, but it is better than not doing any exercices at all. Slowly, you can increase the duration to 20 minutes, then 30, then even more once you see how painless finding time to exercise can be. Start Easy The easiest way to begin is by taking advantage of what you already do on a daily basis. For example, you need to get to your office everyday. From now on, do not use the lift. Rather, take the stairs. Instead of looking for a car park near the entrance of your work place, park as far as you can so that you have to walk further than usual. By just doing these two simple acts, you have now already added some exercices in your daily routine, without compromising much on time, which you do not have much. Of course, if you can get rid of your car and start cycling or walking to work, that’s all the better! Some Simple Exercices Try spine stretching. It helps maintain your back to be flexible. As you go about your chores, take a minute to stop and stand up straight. Clasp your hands behind your head, and bend down gently. Get your knees to touch your elbows, and rise. Repeat it many times over. Try some chair exercising too. Sit at the edge of your chair, and make sure your back is straight. Then, raise your knees off the floor. Repeat, but this time, lean back slightly. Do it as much as you can. By doing this, you are working on your lower abs. It’s quite hard work. Just make sure you have a solid grip. You do not want to fall off and hurt yourself in the process! It Is Possible! As you can see, it is possible to add exercices in your daily routine. It is just a matter of having the will to do so, and the opportunity to carry the exercices out!
