How to Keep Fit Against Growing Challenges of Fitness

Yoga is not a just means of working out for loosing your weights, but to have a healthy life. Yoga makes your living keep away from diseases, illness,laziness and other problems.

There are few ways by which you can produce your life healthy.

1. Whenever you are counting, reciting the alphabet, or singing to your little one in the high chair, do some wide and narrow legged squats to the tune! They think it’s pretty funny! Jumping jacks work well too!

2. Do walking lunges instead of just walking when going from one room to another. (Your knee should never extend beyond a 90 deg angle).

3. If you are busy in the kitchen, take a couple cans of food and work your biceps, shoulders and waistline by doing simple bicep curls, shoulder press and then drop side to side bringing your arm to your knee (from the side) to work the waist – back and forth like a pendulum.

4. Waiting for a bottle to warm up in the microwave for 1 min? Take that minute to hold a squat against a wall (start with 30 sec and continue to work your way up to 1 min)

5. Sitting down burping the baby, or checking emails can be a great time to sit nice and erect and squeeze & release those gluts for 3 sets of 20!

6. Taking your little one out in the stroller? Get on those running shoes and push yourself to do a brisk walk (or 30 sec run if you have a running stroller) every couple of minutes –you can also purchase ankle weights or a walking “toning” running shoe.

7. While your little one is having carpet time, get on the carpet with them and hold yourself in the plank position for 1 min to work your core! Start with 30 sec and work your way up to 1 and even 2 minutes! (Remember to keep that bum down and make sure your spine is as straight as possible while you hold this pose).

8. Drink a large glass of water as soon as you wake up, and before every snack or meal throughout the day.
