Everyone talks about the importance of exercise for energy and health. And, of course it's true. But do we really have to buy all the equipment being advertised everywhere we look, or sign up for an espensive fitness center program?
I don't think all that stuff is necessary. I have exercised most of my life, and I have a simple routine that I follow, and it works for me. Kept me healthy, athletic and slender all my life. Here is what I do:
1. Brisk, 15 minute walk, 4 or 5 times a week, or as often as I can with my busy lifestyle.
2. Stress, tension exercises for my chest and stomach areas, and which I do while on my computer, and at stop lights or stop and go traffic jams while driving. They are simple and quick, and I don't have to change clothes. Here is what I do:
* For the chest: press the palms of your hands together very hard and hold for a count of 12. Do as frequently as time permits.
**For the stomach: exhale your breath out completely. Suck in your gut as tight as possible and hold for a count of 12. Do as frequently as possible.
3. Simple floor exercises:
* Pushups - 25 - 4 or 5 times a week
**Stomach crunches - lie on your back, draw up knees and cross , with hands clasped behind your neck, raise up and touch elbow to opposite knee, 25 times, and then repeat with other elbow and knee. Do about 4 or 5 times a week.
4. Deep Knee bends and toe raises - about 4 or 5 times a week, I do 60 toe raises and 25 deep knee bends.
I also use one piece of equipment, a one wheel roller that I grasp with my hands, and while on my knees I roll out in front as far as possible, and repeat about 25 times, 4 or 5 times a week.
This is what works for me. Try it, let me know if it works for you, or what you do for exercise.
