How to Exercise In Front Of The Television 01/06/2011
Coming home from the work day, you probably want to relax and sit on the couch and watch television. If you just came from say an office, you are moving from one comfortable chair to another. So, you are basically sitting all day. The average adult spend 2-3 hours a day in front of the television and we sit there in inactivity. With all that time in front of the television, you can multi-task a bit and do some workouts in front of it. That way, you can get some fitness in while you watch your favorite shows. A good thing to do in your spare time are squats. Here is how you do it: Stand shoulder width apart and bend your knees slightly until your knee breaks a 90 degree angle. You can stick your hands out for balance as well. After you reach that point, you can come back up and repeat. Try to do as many as you can in a minute. You can also get into a squatting position and hold it there as well for an isometric workout. You can also throw in a jump in there as well in your squats. Every time you get up back up, you make a little jump, which makes the workout harder. You can also twist your body back and forth to workout your mid section. There are a few ways to do it which I find them helpful. Here is one of them: Have your hands out, parallel to the ground, but have your elbows by your side. What you are going to do is to twist to your right side and snap yourself back to the left side in a very swift manner. Do this really fast in a repetitive motion for one minute. You can also start on the left side as well. You can also do a kickboxing move to tone up your body too. Can star having your feet at shoulder width apart and lean to the left slightly. Have your hands up. What you would then do is to bring your knee and hands together by meeting them in the middle. So lift your knee and bring down your hands, and they meet mid way. Do this repetitively and your entire body especially our mid section. What I also enjoy doing is shadow boxing I repeatedly throw left-right punches in the air, as many as I can for a minute each. Try to keep your hands up at face level and try not to lift your elbows too high. If anything, get up during commercial breaks and check the laundry or get up to get yourself a glass of water. A simple little walk around the kitchen will break the inactivity cycle that you are experiencing for a better health.
