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.
Recommended repetitions: You can do the backward
crunch 10 times.
