Easy Exercises You Can Do Before & During Work
Guest post provided by James Hundson
You love your job? Yes, you do! This is one of the main reasons that may keep you so determined and focused on working that you tend to keep aside your own health issues and fitness. The working schedule that most of us are made to follow does not allow us to move. It is difficult for an individual to move out of their place and workout. Sitting and spending hours in front of the computer is found to be one main reason why people are now gaining weight rapidly. We all need to realize that it is we who have to take care of our own bodies before it is too late.
Excess weight gain causes obesity and then results into the most critical illnesses that would require stronger medication. Are you earning so that you can spend it later on medication? Don’t you want to utilize it for a better cause? A little thought now would help you save your future. Just a few basic movements while you are preparing to go to work, or even while you are at work, will help you avoid those extra pounds to get counted.
Workouts before Leaving For Work
It is understood that it is difficult for us to take out an hour for working out. But, just a few 15 to 30 minutes of workout before you leave for work will help you feel fresh throughout the day. This will not leave you feeling drowsy and also avoid the stressed out feeling that might frustrate you during the day.
- Stretching: Have you seen a cat or a dog immediately after they wake up after a relaxing sleep? The first thing that you will find them doing is “stretching”. Stretching is a great exercise that can be done in the mornings. You can simply stretch any part of your body and thus get your muscles worked up. This will ease your muscle movements and strengthen them to stay fresh the entire day.
- Walking: A simple walk around the neighborhood in fresh air will help in keeping your legs worked out along with a few body movements that it imposes. Walking in the garden will also help you intake a good amount of fresh air that is needed after a night long sleep.
- Up and Down the Stairway: This is a great exercise that will help you workout your leg muscles, especially the thighs and also the other parts of the body. A few trips up and down the stairs will refresh your mind and will keep you ready to face the daily stress.
- Yoga: Yoga is an ancient workout that has been proved and thus trusted. People have worked wonders by simply adapting yoga. A few yoga movements in the mornings will help you refresh your body, mind and soul. You need not be an expert in yoga. Just a few basic movements while you are a beginner would help. You can gradually make use of more complicated movements.
