5 Everyday Exercises

“I don’t have time to exercise!!”

How many times have you given yourself this excuse? As much as we all love to evade workouts, it is also true that sometimes we honestly do not find time for it.

It could be because work is getting the better of you or just that there are so many social obligations that you have to attend to. It doesn’t matter what the reason is, here are 5 simple exercises you can do every day to keep yourself fit.

1. Plank

Holding a plank in the correct position works your abs and thigh muscles well. Look at the picture and make sure you prop yourself on your elbows, forearms and forefeet. As you progress, you should be able to hold your plank longer and make sure you are breathing normal as you are doing this.

2. Push-Up

A good push up starts with a plank in a perfect position – once you have gotten the plank right, push yourself with your arms and it gives enough exercise to your arms and abs. It does not matter if you cannot do a push-up – Try to keep your knees bent and do a push-up. A bent knee push-up is good enough for a start!

3. Squats

There is nothing like a good squat in perfect form to give you a nice workout – It is all about the balance! Keep your feet shoulder-width apart and stand on your soles. Now, try squatting as though you are sitting down on a low imaginary chair.

4. Jump Squat

A jump squat is just a simple variation of the squat. Start by getting into a squat and once you are completely in a squat, jump and make sure you land yourself back into a squat. Do this as slowly as possibly without giving too much pressure or hurting your lower back.

5. Abs Exercise

As you lie on your back, raise your arms up. After this, slowly raise one of your legs and bend at your knee. Use your left arm to touch your left leg and your right arm to touch your right leg. Alternate the legs and do 15 reps on each side.
