Exercise is excellent for your body and mind. Even moderate exercise has measurable, positive effects. Moderate physical exertion can help you lose weight and also reverse the symptoms of chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

Try any of these six simple exercises to set the tone for the rest of your day. They’ll get your blood moving, muscles warmed up (including clearing that fog you might have upstairs) and give you a boost to get your day started on the right foot!

1. Jumping Jacks

This is an exercise where you jump with your legs apart and your hands are touching overhead. Jumping jacks are a whole-body exercise. It improves stamina and relieves stress while also protecting the cardiovascular system.

To get started, spread your arms and feet wide and connect your hand over your head while jumping a few inches high. Repeat until you can do jumping jacks for a full minute or more.

2. Walking

Walking is a casual exercise that stimulates muscle growth and burns calories. It may not give rapid results like other rigorous outdoor exercises, such as running, but it’s ideal for beginners as it puts little strain on the body.

Unlike many other exercises, you don’t need deliberate planning to walk. You may choose to walk to a neighbourhood grocery store instead of driving. Or taking your pet out for a walk can benefit you both. Small physical acts add up in the long run to create an overall healthy body system.

3. Squats

This simple exercise offers more than just health and weight management benefits. It helps to tone various part of your body, including thighs, butt and waist. With 10 to 15 reps of squats every day, you will notice changes within four weeks.

If you don’t know the right body form to take when doing squats, you can use a chair as a guide. Stand with your two legs apart at shoulder length. Then lower your body close to the sitting area of the chair but do not sit down. Repeat these steps for the number of reps your body can comfortably handle.

4. Dancing

Dance is a cardio exercise that tones up the body, burns fat, and promotes a healthy heart. Dance affects your whole body. It’s also a fun activity to engage in as you can choose various dancing styles and achieve similar results.

There are fantastic workout dance styles known as power dances. This power these dances, such as Zumba, have CD guides to help you learn the moves. You may also check YouTube for other dance choreography. If possible, get your family involved in your dancing exercise to increase the fun or contact your local community centre for a list of upcoming classes!

5. Push-Ups

Known for building upper body strength, push-ups are also a simple way to stay fit. Arm strength varies a lot, and you may need to support your body weight on your knees while starting until you can lift your whole body with your arms.

When you feel muscle pain or tiredness, it is time to take a break.

6. Jogging

This is a standard go-to exercise for many people, and it’s a great way to start the day. Jogging strengthens bones and muscles, increase joint flexibility and helps to maintain a healthy weight. Start with jogging for a few minutes around your neighbourhood, and increase the duration as your body adjusts to the workout.

Bodies respond differently to exercise, so don’t quit if you don’t get immediate results. And don’t overdo it as well. Many people go all-in at the beginning, injury themselves and then don’t work out again. Always give your muscle time to warm up at the beginning of a workout and recover from strenuous exercises. To get the best result, combine your exercise regimen with a healthy meal.

If you have any serious health condition, consult your physician before starting a new exercise routine. Good luck!

💡TIP – Flax Seeds – They keep your nervous system working, fight off inflammation, and makeup cell membranes. Omega-3 also has a vital role in helping you build muscle by reducing protein breakdown. It also reduces inflammation, which means your muscles can recover faster after workouts.
