No much efforts, yet beneficial- this should be your exercise!

By Kelly Anderson

Proper exercise has the tendency to provide your body with the best of the comforts, healthy state leaving a feeling of freshness and happiness. There is a wrong notion inculcated in the subconscious mind of most weight loss seekers that exercising means preparing body fro exhaustion and going to bed thereafter.

Exercise for 50% of your maximum capacity. If you can walk for one hour, go for 30 minutes. If you can run for 30 minutes, cut it down to 15 minutes so that your body doesn't have to repair .it afterwards. If you have enough energy but tire quickly, go for very light exercises or walking.

As air becomes colder it is more difficult for you to breath, having a history of asthma will also increase this difficulty. During the cold winter months choose indoor activities like basketball, volleyball, or yoga. Being excessively overweight also makes proper exercise difficult. If you are 25 kilograms or more above your healthy weight avoid activities which can hurt knees. Instead spend time on a stationary bike. Various exercises which can increase body flexibility are described below.

These two exercises do not take very long, only about 10 minutes, and can be done anywhere you have floor space, even an office. These exercises not only give your body a healthy shape but they will improve your posture, which relieves lower back pain, and aid in digestion of food.

This exercise starts with you lying on your stomach with your chin of forehead touching the ground. While lying, grab hold of your legs and raise your upper body as possible. Hold this position and repeat three to four times. This exercise will melt fat on your shoulders, back, hips, waist, and abdomen. It will also have a beneficial effect on your digestive organs and clean your kidney.

The second exercise starts with you lying on your back with your heels together. Raise one leg upwards while inhaling. Hold for several seconds then lower your leg while exhaling. Do this exercise with both legs 4-5 times. This exercise aids the digestive system and tones your lower body muscles.

As you age you need to adjust your exercise routine. If you are over 60 choose simple movements as following: * Try to never sit longer than half an hour. Even getting up and walking around your house or apartment will increase blood circulation. * Sitting for long periods of time is bad for your body as muscles and joints begin to deteriorate but your psychological wellbeing is also hurt by inactivity. * Sitting in a chair for extended periods of time can become tiring. You should walk a little bit and then lie down.

O Do move about in bed and whenever you waken during the night, change your position. O When walking, see that the heels are level. Walk quickly across the floor using your ankles as fully as possible. O If you have to use a stick for any reason, don't let it slow you down. It should help you to keep as fast a stride as possible. It is just there to support you. If you are using stick, it should be carried in the hand opposite to the affected leg, never on the same side.

Never bend over your cane, press on the handle. Make sure to have a doctor recommend a correct length for your cane. Using a stick to long can damage your shoulder joints from the pressure exerted by the cane. To exercise, walk fast enough that you are breathless for a moment or so, as hard as it may be this will help you live a longer more enjoyable life.
