Physical activity is generally down at this time of year, and we spend more time sitting. It's easy enough to reverse these trends by following a few simple exercise techniques:
1. Gentle Calisthenics is a technique that makes use of a person's body weight to train the major muscles.
2. Cardiovascular exercise, or “cardio” for short, which is often synonymous with aerobic exercise, works by boosting a person’s heart rate.
3. Pilates is a physical training method that can improve balance and posture, as well as body strength.
4. Yoga is a good option for staying active and flexible. There are many different types of yoga, each of which has a different level of intensity and difficulty.
5. Fun (and useful) home activities: doing as little as 10 minutes of leisurely activity — such as gardening or dancing in your living room — per week is associated with a lower risk of health-related issues.
