Can someone tell me about some easy exerscises?

Question

I need some exercises that are both easy and very effective. Something that you can possibly do at home.

Answer 1

Depends on what you're trying to do.

For general conditioning, so that you start to look and feel healthy, have more energy during the day, try these VERY easy exercises:

Deep knee bend - for thies, lower back, shoulders:
- Start standing up
- Raise your arms overhead
- Bend both knees and lower your arms at the same time.
- Keep bending till your thigh is about parallel to the floor and your arms are at your sides and a little behind your body.
- Reverse the motion and stand up with your arms again over your head.
- Breathe in as you bend your knees, and out as you straighten up

Do these in sets of 10; when 10 becomes easy, add another 10.


For stomach - This is crucial, since it supports your lower back.
- Lie on the foor (use a yoga mat or do it on a padded carpet)
- Bend both knees till your foot lies flat on the floor
- lift your shoulder blades and torso off the floor, being careful to round your back (lift your shoulders first) as you go
- Don't lift too far...as soon as the lowest part of your shoulder blades are off the floor, lower your self and repeat.

Do these in sets of 10; when that becomes easy, add 10 more.

Aerobic exercise is good for support of your lungs and heart
- Do jumbing jacks or run in place (or both alternately) while holding a 5 lb weight in each hand. Weights can be purchased at Kmart, Target, etc.
- Do this for 10 - 20 minutes at a time, three times per week.

Try dancing once or twice per week...it's so enjoyable, most people don't even think of dancing as exercise. I always without fail, raise my heart and break a sweat when I dance.
