Confined at home due to coronavirus? 5 simply ways to weave physical activity into your daily schedule
As you can't go out, you're probably spending a lot more time sitting at home. Sitting or lying down for too long can increase your risk of chronic health problems. Here are some simple ways to include some physical activity in your day.
Not going out due to coronavirus? Social isolation is the need of the hour to slow down the spread of coronavirus. But restrictions in movement may take a toll on your health. As you can’t go out, you’re probably spending a lot more time in front of the TV screen now. Too much sitting can raise your risk of chronic health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and some cancers. Sitting or lying down for too long is also bad for your mental health. Staying active is not as hard as you think, even during this time of the coronavirus pandemic. There are a lot of ways to include some physical activity in your day. You can’t hit the gym or run in the park due to social restrictions? Don’t let it hamper your fitness goals. You can simply weave exercises into your daily schedule to stay fit. Here are a few things you can do at home now to maintain your physical and mental health.
Do some squats while watching TV: While watching a TV show, get up and do some squats during the commercials. While washing dishes, practise heel raises.
Turn on some music and shake your legs with your partner: Dancing is also a great way to move your body and stay active. It is also a great way to strengthen your relationship and reignite your romance.
Play games with your kids: Choose games that involve crawling, jumping or skipping. This way you will be working out while spending some good time with your children.
Use stairs to get your blood pumping: If you have access to stairs in your home or apartment, it is the best workout equipment for your cardiovascular health. Go up and down those stairs to get your blood pumping.
Stretch it out for at least 30 seconds: Stretching can help maintain flexibility. Try simple stretches you can do in your home.
