Have
you ever felt tired and stressed out from work
and by the time you get home you see your three
children running towards you asking you to play
basketball with them? You refused and promised
them that you will after you take you rest.
Instead of disappointing your children, why not
say, "yes" after all? You will be surprised by
the amount of energy you will have after that
30-minute activity.
Did you know that by exercising at a moderate
pace for only 30 minutes, you would feel a lot
better, mentally? It has been proven that this
improves the appetite and sharpens your style in
problem solving. Not only that. You will also
feel that it is easier to sleep at night if you
do moderate exercises even for only 30 minutes
every day.
What are the benefits of regular exercise? It
promotes self-discipline and has a positive
impact how you perceive life. Exercise helps in
lifting your spirits and getting you out of any
depression. For first timers, it can be done for
15 minutes for 2 to 3 days a week. You can
increase the time you spend once your body gets
tuned up for it.
DON'T you ever force your body! If you get hurt,
then stop. You can take a break from exercising
for a few days and then you can start again but
you need to start from day 1.
Here are some moderate exercises you can do and
enjoy:
1. Do the Walking. Make use of your
surroundings. You can walk your dog, with your
partner or child. Encourage your family to do
the walking exercise daily and you will find
yourself burning calories while enjoying the
surroundings and getting enough sunlight that is
also good for your body.
2. Discover the wonders of Yoga. Yoga is one
effective exercise that energizes not only your
body but also your soul. You may want to learn
even the basic yoga positions that are not too
complicated but proven effective. A five-minute
yoga exercise can perk you up and recharge your
body with the energy you lost for the whole day.
You relax and at the same time you stretch!
3. Engage yourself into sports. Play basketball,
football, baseball, tennis or badminton. Many
doctors have recommended sports as an effective
way to stay fit and healthy. Sports can also be
done in moderation. Do not take it seriously.
Shooting basketball with a friend is one
moderate exercise that is also considered a
sport.
4. Join exercise programs at work. If you still
do not have exercises programs at work, then why
not start it? You can talk to your boss about it
and start with your colleagues. You do not only
lose calories but it is also one good way to
bond with them. This can be done 30 minutes, 3
times a week.
5. Exercise while doing household chores.
Gardening, raking leaves, lawn mowing, doing the
laundry, vacuuming and car washing are effective
moderate exercises at home. Make use of these
chores to sweat and burn calories. Instead of
using machines and gadgets to perform these
chores, why not do it with your hands and lose
some fats?
Making exercises as part of your daily routines
will surprise you of how much calories you will
lose. Doing these moderate exercises of the same
amount every day can burn 150 calories up to
1,000 calories a day! |
