Simple Exercises that goes a long way!

Welcome back, lovelies. We all know that when it comes to exercising and fitness there's one major problem that we all face. Have you ever felt tired and stressed out from work, and by the time you get home, you see your children running towards you, asking you to play baseball with them? You refused and promised them that you would do so after you get your rest.

What if I told you that instead of disappointing your children, why not say, "yes" after all and agree to do it? You will be surprised by the amount of energy you will have after that 30-minute activity.

Did you know that you would feel a lot better mentally by exercising at a moderate pace for only 30 minutes? It has been proven that this improves your appetite and sharpens your style in problem-solving. Not only that, you will also feel that it is easier to sleep at night if you do moderate exercises even for just merely 30 minutes every day.

What are the benefits of regular exercise? It promotes self-discipline and has a positive impact on how you perceive life. Exercise helps in lifting your spirits and getting you out of any depression. It can be done for 15 minutes for first-timers for 2 to 3 days a week. You can increase the time you spend once your body gets tuned up for it.

One important thing to take note, NEVER force your body! If you get hurt, then stop. You can take a break from exercising for a few days, and then you can start again, but you need to start from day 1.

Here are some moderate exercises you can do and enjoy:

1. Do the Walking. Make use of your surroundings. You can walk your dog, with your partner or child. Encourage your family to do the walking exercise daily. You will find yourself burning calories while enjoying the surroundings and getting enough sunlight that is also good for your body.

2. Discover the wonders of Yoga. Yoga is one effective exercise that energizes your body and your soul. You may want to learn even the basic yoga positions that are not too complicated but proven effective. A five-minute yoga exercise can perk you up and recharge your body with the energy you lost for the whole day. You relax, and at the same time, you stretch!

3. Engage yourself in sports. Play basketball, soccer, baseball, tennis or badminton. Many doctors have recommended sports as an effective way to stay fit and healthy. Sports can also be done in moderation. Do not take it seriously. Shooting basketball with a friend is one moderate exercise that is also considered a sport.

4. Join exercise programs at work. If you still do not have exercise programs at work, why not start them? You can talk to your boss about it and start with your colleagues. Not only do you lose calories, but it is also one good way to bond with them. This can be done 30 minutes, 3 to 4 times a week, depending on your schedule.

5. Exercise while doing household chores. Gardening, raking leaves, lawn mowing, doing the laundry, vacuuming, and car washing are effective moderate exercises at home. Make use of these chores to sweat and burn calories. Instead of using machines and gadgets to perform these chores, why not do it with your hands and lose some fats?

Making exercises as part of your daily routines will surprise you with how many calories you will lose. Doing these moderate exercises of the same amount every day can burn 150 calories up to 1,000 calories a day!
