Proven ideas to move more during the day and feel better!
Moving doesn't have to be hard! In fact, putting pleasure at the centre of our physical efforts helps us endure and not give up after two repetitions.
We can also reconnect with physical exercise by breaking up our movements. Short intervals motivate us to multiply them because we quickly feel the movement's benefits. Who doesn't have 10 minutes to exercise in their schedule?
We provide innovative ways to stay active and avoid impatience. Nice plan, right? Choose your favourite and enjoy!
Walking is perhaps the easiest and safest way to move. It gradually works the cardiac and has long-term benefits. Why not walk out for 15 minutes or more during lunchtime for fresh air and a screen break? go walking.
Or schedule longer evening walks. Want to exercise? Walking fast is good. Want to run? Change between walking and jogging gradually. I promise, your form will improve as you progress slowly.
We can start parking or getting off at a station farther away to incorporate walking into our outings (work, dentist, theatre, etc.). This summer, explore the many hiking routes!
As proved! Dancing improves health and mood. We dance to three or four catchy tunes without shame. It helps unwind amid stress!
We may also practice bodybuilding exercises together to “work out” more, if needed. Enough to boost endorphins all day!
The classic recommendation to walk more on daily trips is to avoid lifts and take the stairs. Maximum possible! We do cardio and lower body work. Your breathing will improve after a few weeks, which is great!
We can use weights (or a bottle of water or canned goods) to strengthen our arms while watching our favourite show, supervising the kids' bath, “waiting” at home, etc. Also nice without dumbbells!
Want to watch or listen to something? We can use this to move simultaneously! This mix of activities might appeal to beginners and seasoned athletes since home training can get boring.
So we do "jumping jack" or heels to the buttocks. Do sit-ups or push-ups. Small board, perhaps? If you have a stationary bike, try interval spinning!
Thanks, time flies when you're busy twice! We can use the 30-minute training sessions to train harder throughout our show.
Short yoga practices can increase our mobility and stretch our bodies too often sitting at the office. We rise slowly in the morning. Our body wakes up with stretching.
We warm up our muscles and joints with sun salutations. Take a break from work in the afternoon and do exercises that energise you to finish the day well.
For the evening, we execute our favourite positions to relieve the stress from our call: child's pose, pigeon pose, “downward-headed dogs”, etc. It's fine as long as it gets you moving and back to your body!
Stand on tiptoes with your abs engaged while cleaning dishes, listening to TV, waiting in queue, behind a counter, etc. to train your calves.
Stop and stretch during the day. We reduce (or prevent!) tension this way. It feels nice and improves energy circulation.
