We’ve been through some historically uncertain times this year, but with the recent announcements around the highly promising vaccines to combat Covid-19, brighter days are on the horizon.
During this period of uncertainty, one thing has become crystal clear and that’s the importance of exercising regularly for your body and mind. Benefits include:
- Reducing stress levels
- Strengthening your immunity
- Maintaining a steady weight
- Improving your memory and brain functioning
- Helping you to sleep better
- Increasing feel-good endorphins to boost your mood
Yes, it seems that exercise is one of those things that we all know is good for us, but not all of us do it. So with that in mind, we have found six easy ways to get moving.
House WorkOut
Did you know that doing domestic chores for as little as 30 minutes, can burn up to 220 calories on average. Time to get the mop and feather duster out. Spring cleaning will get your home all ship shape in time for Christmas or ready to sell (tips on getting your home ready can be found under the 5tips tag on our main blog page)
Working Out at the Car Wash
Getting your car all shiny and clean isn’t just easy on the eye, it’s helpful to the waistline because on average, washing your car can burn around 314 calories an hour. Get the kids involved too to earn some nice points for Father Christmas.
Keep on Track
Keeping tabs on how much you’ve exercised can be hugely motivating. It’s never been easier to chart the number of steps you’ve taken in a day, or the calories you’ve burned thanks to smartphones and fitness trackers.
Find a Fitness Friend
Although we’re all still being encouraged to socially distance, nothing is stopping you calling a friend and suggesting doing three 30-minute exercise sessions a week. You don’t have to do these together, but it keeps you motivated knowing you’ve got someone to help keep you motivated plus, a little competition never hurt anybody.
Small Things Add Up
Next time you are waiting for the kettle to boil do some stretches. Why not park a little further away on the school run or food shop. A series of small steps in the right direction can put you on the path to feeling much fitter.
Now We’re Walking (our family favourite)
The most straightforward way to exercise is a low impact, brisk walk. It provides a change of scenery, some fresh air and a new stimulus for the brain. With the Autumn leaves almost all fallen, means there’s plenty of leaf crunching, who doesn’t love to do that? You could even aim to do a different route everyday.
We can all be proactive in our day to day lives and keeping our bodies and minds fit and healthy is just the start.
