Regular exercise is crucial to your health. Period. Its a simple fact–you have to commit a little time each week for regular,
sustained exercise. Along with vitamins and the right supplements, namely dha fish oil, exercise should not be overlooked. We only take into account as exercise, those activities that are for the sole purpose of exercise. In other words, strolling from the parking lot to the elevator at the office does not count. Some folks complain that they do not have enough time in a 168-hour week to devote 1.5 to 2 hours to physical exercise. Others cite the high price of gym or health club memberships. Neither of these “reasons” are sufficient to rationalize the lack of a regular exercise routine. So here is a brief list of exercises that can be done just three days a week–and with fairly inexpensive equipment.
1) Walking. Who would’ve known that taking a walk could actually be exercise. Establish a set time, a few days a week when you can go for a walk. The cumulative effect of taking walks when you have time can provide a significant boost to your metabolism and cardiovascular health.
2) Hoola hoop. Seem preposterous? Possibly, but try it. It is NOT as easy as it looks. It is a proven calorie burner and core workout. Besides burning calories and targeting your abdominal muscles, hips and buttocks, you will improve your coordination and rhythm.
3) Pull ups. Several muscle groups are in play. These will work out your back muscles, biceps, forearms, latissimus dorsi, even your
shoulders. A bar is required to do these, but they aren’t too expensive and they install in most household door openings. These
will take time to get right. Some one just starting out might be able to do only one or two at a time (proper form is important). Set a goal of doing 3 or 4 sets of six repetitions. It’ll most likely take several months to get there.
We’ll look at 3 more exercises in part 2.
