Did you know that by exercising at a moderate pace for only 30 minutes, you would feel a lot better? It has been proven that this improves the appetite and sharpens your style in problem solving. You will also feel that it is easier to sleep at night if you do moderate exercises even for only 30 minutes every day.
Exercise helps in lifting your spirits and getting you out of any depression. It promotes self- discipline and has a positive impact how you perceive life. For first timers, it can be done for 15 minutes for 2 to 3 days a week. You can increase the time you spend once your body gets tuned up for it.
DON’T ever force your body! If you get hurt, stop. You can take a break from exercising for a few days and then you can start again but you need to start back at day 1.
Here are some moderate exercises you can do and enjoy:
1. Go Walking. Make use of your surroundings
You can walk your dog, with your partner or child. Encourage your family to do walking exercises daily and you will find yourself burning calories while enjoying the surroundings and getting enough sunlight which is also good for you.
2. Discover the Wonders of YOGA.
Yoga is one effective exercise that energizes not only your body but also your soul. You may want to learn even the basic yoga positions that are not too complicated but proven effective. A five-minute yoga exercise can perk you up and recharge your body with the energy you lost for the whole day. You relax and at the same time you stretch!
3. Engage yourself in Sports
For women, we recommend you to play netball, dodgeball, badminton, tennis, squash, jogging or swimming. Many doctors have recommended sports as an effective way to stay fit and healthy. Sports can also be done in moderation. Do not take it seriously. Shooting netball with a friend is one moderate exercise that is also considered a sport.
4. Join exercise program at work.
If you still do not have exercises programs at work, then why not start one? You can talk to your boss about it and start with your colleagues. You do not only lose calories but it is also one good way to bond with them. This can be done 30 minutes, 3 times a week.
5. Exercise while doing housework.
Gardening, raking leaves, lawn mowing, doing the laundry, vacuuming and car washing are effective moderate exercises at home. Make use of these chores to sweat and burn calories. Instead of using machines and gadgets to perform these chores, why not do it with your hands and lose some fats?
Making exercise a part of your daily routine will surprise you by how many calories lose. Doing these moderate exercises the same amount every day can burn up to 150 to 1,000 calories a day!
