Exercise Tips - Exercise for Lazy People
I'm sure you all know why we need to exercise. It's for our body to sweat and burn fats in order for us to stay healthy. I know that most of us are busy working - trying to make money most of the time. Some of us may have the time but are just too lazy to do exercises.
Well, here are some tips for you to have exercise no matter how lazy you are. Remember that exercise is a must and without it, sickness may easily come at you. Health is wealth.
First tip is to save gas. Yes, you read it right. Save gas. How? By leaving your car if you don't really need it that much and avail of the public transportation once in a while. So, how does this work? You'll have some time walking with other people. Walking itself is an exercise. The simplest form of exercise of them all. You'll hit two birds with one stone. You will save on gas and get that much needed exercise all at the same time.
Second tip is to use the stairs. If you're not that in a hurry and you only need to climb 2 to 3 storeys, don't use the elevator. Use the stairs instead. You don't have to hurry climbing if that's what you're thinking. You can do it the relaxed and normal way. That's why I recommend this only if you have the extra time. If you need to climb 20 storeys, you can use the elevator first up to 18th floor then use the stairs for the remaining 2 storeys.
The third tip is to perform simple stretching and bending in the office. After spending several hours straight in front of the computer, why don't you stand up for a while and do some stretching? Just do a couple of squats or move your head, hands and waist. By doing those movements, you're able to exercise and stay awake and alert as well.
Fourth tip is to get up and get what you need by yourself whenever possible. You do not need to perpetually ask your utility guy to buy that favorite snack or get what you printed from the printing area. Rather, you can go ahead and do those simple tasks yourself. Get up and walk a few paces. It wouldn't hurt you the slightest.
Do some breathing exercises as the fifth tip. One breathing exercise is the simple inhale-exhale pattern. You just need to inhale deeply and hold your breath for about 5 seconds before you exhale. Do this pattern for at least 10 times and notice that you'll be relieved of stress or that tiresome feeling. Breathing exercises promote good air circulation and will help your heart and lungs. Whenever you feel tired or stressed, do some breathing exercises.
We're now on the sixth tip and this may sound silly for some but interesting for those who are fond of video games - go ahead and buy a Nintendo Wii. Honestly, the Nintendo company didn't spend a single cent to pay me to recommend their product. But it is a rather good way of having fun and getting that exercise all at the same time. So, if you are lazy to do some exercises but love to play video games, try playing the Wii. You'll have lots of fun with exercise for sure.
The seventh tip will involve hiking or trekking activity, if you have the time. You may be lazy but think of the rewards you'll get such as breathtaking scenery, fresh air and burning off of your body fat. They are incentive enough to change your mind and go on that hiking or trekking trip. After all, such isn't an everyday activity but something that you may do every once in a while.
The eighth tip is to purchase a manual transmission car. While automatic transmission car is easy to drive, the manual transmission car will help you save gas. An additional incentive to saving gas is that you'll get your dose of exercise, too. At the end of each day, you will be able to exercise your hands, feet and waist, then save gas at the same time.
The ninth tip may require extra effort on your part. It shouldn't be too hard on you if you cook your own food even though you may be too lazy. Simple food for breakfast such as fried eggs and toasted bread shouldn't be too much of a problem. By preparing such food, you'll get to beat the eggs and toast the bread, or if you add a recipe with vegetables in it, you get to chop the veggies as well. Your movements around the kitchen while you prepare the ingredients, mix them and cook them can already be considered valuable exercise. Whether you will be rewarded with a delightful and filling meal is entirely up to your cooking skills. For this kitchen exercise, you'll just need a simply good recipe and follow the instructions as it is.
The last tip involves a reward for yourself. There shouldn't be much effort when you do this as the activity itself will do the rest. What I'm referring to is going to a hot spring or sauna to reward yourself! When I said that the activity will do the rest for you, I was talking about getting relaxed and sweaty. Sweating is good for our body as it indicates that fats are being burned off the body. Further, it is one way of getting rid of toxins out of our body.
There are some of the available tips for lazy people to induce them to exercise when, otherwise, they'd just normally think about doing. These are simple exercise tips that are useful and helpful just as much. I sure hope that you'd get to apply some of the tips in your everyday life.
