Exercises You Can Do in the Comfort of your Home


• Sit ups
• Crunches
• Put your steps to good use if you have them, just one step is needed. This will work your leg muscles and get your adrenaline going a bit.
• Lift baby weights while you watch tv
• Stomach tuck-in (if your unsure of what this one is, I will explain: sit up straight in a chair with your back pressed against the back of the chair, breathe out and at the same time suck in your tummy, hold it in for 2 to 3 seconds, then release your tummy while breathing in)
• Squats
• Do the aerobics work out (there is usually an aerobics show on early in the mornings) or of course you can always just buy an aerobics video work-out.


Of course, there is nothing like getting out of the house and going for a walk in the park or botanical gardens enjoying and taking in the world around us!


A nice brisk 15 minute walk each day will work wonders for you. And of course sunlight has its benefits for you as well. It’s been reported that scientists believe that sunlight can help prevent these cancers:


• Breast cancer
• Colon cancer
• Ovary cancer
• Bladder cancer
• Womb cancer
• Stomach cancer
• Prostate gland cancer


But of course it isn’t going to protect you from sun cancer. So make sure you slap on some sunscreen ;-)

Yoga



Madonna now only uses yoga as her one form of exercise! So it must be good!


You can pick up some pretty cheap yoga videos simply by going to eBay and typing in to search: yoga video. There are some available just for a few bucks. If you’re interested, it’s well worth a look at. Especially if you can get it that cheap!
