Staying Healthy and Active @ Home

Staying Healthy and Active @ Home

Physical activity is down 33%, and we are spending 28% 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.
