Stay Fit Without Setting Foot in The Gym
If you're like most Americans who want to stay fit and active, there's a good chance that if you haven't already (or recently) joined a gym,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the thought has likely crossed your mind as the new year approaches. Perhaps financial,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], logistical, or other concerns have precluded you from joining a gym. Then again,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], maybe the mere thought of joining a gym actually having to go to it! you sweat (if not break out in hives), because it's just not your thing.
Whatever your excuse for not stepping foot in a gym,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the good news is that you never really have to look much farther than your own home, backyard, local park, or even your office to get stay and reap the many benefits regular physical activity provides.
Use your tools! "The No. 1 tool you can use for any workout is your own body,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," says Nathaniel Oliver, owner and founder of Type A Training,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an in-home personal training company in New York City. Oliver recommends simple exercises like squats, push-ups, and dips that use your body weight as resistance. The standard routine is two to three sets of 15 reps for each exercise, but you can intensify your workout by doing them with less rest between sets, he says. For those who live (or work) in a building with stairs, he recommends walking or running up four flights of stairs about five times for a good cardio workout. Take the elevator back, or walk down the stairs slowly and gently, to save your knees. To ramp up the workout, Oliver recommends doing a few jumping jacks or jogging in place before heading up the stairs.
Make some small investments. Oliver recommends several fitness tools to keep at home,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including light dumbbells, therapeutic balls, gliding discs, a jump rope, and some how-to yoga DVDs. "Handled rubber bands act as hand weights and give your muscles the resistance work they need to keep muscles tight and strong," Frey says. As an added bonus, "They're also portable, lightweight, inexpensive, and very effective."
Set your alarm. If your job requires you to sit at a desk all day, set an alarm reminding you to move for at least five to 10 minutes each hour. You can take a short walk outside, climb some stairs, or get up and stretch. These timed breaks will not only give you energy and help you feel more productive throughout the day, but they can protect you against some of the possible effects of prolonged sitting, which include obesity, diabetes, heart disease even death.
Walk and talk. Instead of meeting friends for the usual lunch, dinner, or coffee date, why not share an early-morning, midday, or after-work walk? Even a few moderate 10-minute walks throughout the workday can burn calories, lift your mood, energize you,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and give you quality time with friends. Just be sure to keep an extra pair of sneakers on hand, if not a workout outfit or two, so you have no excuses.
Meet face-to-face. The next time you yell out directions or questions to your spouse, kids, or roommate who is on a different floor in a different room your home (you know you do it doesn't?), don't! Instead, get up and talk face-to-face. You can also do this in lieu of sending another email,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], text, or instant message to a colleague or friend who lives or works a few blocks away. Making face time not only helps you be more active,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it can help you avoid miscommunications so you get the results you want.
Notice opportunities for movement. "It's important to keep your head focused on purposeful movement," Frey says. "Use all that you do in your day as exercise. Park farther away from your destination, take the stairs instead of elevators and escalators . walk or ride your bike whenever possible, and put some body power behind your cleaning." For extra fun,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Frey recommends going outside and playing with your kids. "You can take a walk, play tag,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], throw a frisbee, jump on your bikes, toss a ball . anything to get all of you moving and get the best of all benefits time and better health with your children."
Follow your own path. For radio personality Jennifer Hutt, a mother of two, "what matters most is that I move my body some way every day if the intensity can't always be at a super-high level." Hutt finds that being active helps her manage her weight and stay sane I'm sure that's something we can all appreciate! Although she does go to a gym to spin or do some other type of workout,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], some days she simply wears her comfortable shoes and makes it a point to walk as many places as possible. "I make this my own personal game I travel all over New York City and not take one train, taxi,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or bus? On days I do this, I can end up walking three miles or more just going from place to place,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and it gives me the best feeling at the end of the day," Hutt says.
