Follow this simple home exercise routine for a healthier you

After a long day at work, home is the place where you feel like heaven. Too much of stress and mental fatigue would push you to rush home and stop you from leaving home once you are back. Now the biggest challenge is how to maintain your health if you do not want to step out again, beat the traffic and hit the gym. We all know how important exercise is for physical and emotional well-being. But knowing and implementing are two very different things. Then staying fit and staying at home (in your comfort zone) are also important. Here we have planned a schedule where you can be at home and can carry on with your fitness routine at the same time.

Here’s an easy level 1 exercise routine for beginners:

I. Toe touches

1. Slowly fold forward with knees slightly bent and reach down toward your toes till you feel a stretch in the back of your legs
2. Hold for 5 seconds to feel the stretch and slowly return to starting position
3. Repeat 10 times

II. Standing trunk rotations

1. Stand straight and spread your feet wide by around 1.5 feet. Raise your arms to make a T
2. In a fluid motion, rotate to one side along your waist and return back to centre. Then repeat same in the opposite direction
3. When rotating to the right, lift the left heel as you pivot. And when rotating to the left, lift the right heel as you pivot
4. Repeat the set 15 times

III. Side Stretching

1. Stand tall with your feet apart 1 ft. Place your right hand on your waist left hand straight up.
2. Slowly bend toward your right side without bending forward or backward until you feel a stretch on opposite side muscles.
3. Hold the stretch for 5–10 secs, and repeat it with the opposite side.
4. Repeat the set 10 times.

IV. Follow this up with 20–30 minutes brisk walk

1. Brisk walk is defined as 5 kilometers per hour or 12 minutes per kilometer
2. As you walk, your chin should be up, your eyes looking straight, your back straight, and shoulders relaxed
3. Your hands should be at your sides at about 90 degrees. Close your palms gently and swing them front to back. They should be going out in front of you and behind you, not crossing
