How to Fit in Fitness in the New Year By Steve Blake, D.Sc. Doctor of Holistic Health Copyright Steve Blake 2006
Can’t get up early or work out after work? Fit it in. Here are some tips for fitting in slimming and toning.
Types of exercise include aerobics, strengthening, range of motion, stretching, breathing exercises, inversion, walking, recreation, yoga, tai chi, rebounding. Keep it trauma-free by reducing impact and reducing muscle ripping.
In your car. Hand and wrist loosen-ups. Stoplight progressive neck rolls. Abdominal vacuum.
In your office. Pick up the paper clip for brain oxygenation and waist toning. Chair twists for the waist. Phone weights strengthen and reduce stress.
In front of your computer. Good ergonomics. Eye breaks. Upward stretching. Leg lifts.
In front of the TV. An exercise machine such as the Nordic Track, stationary bicycle, or a small trampoline. Every ad do five or ten pushups. Next show do five or ten sit-ups at every ad. Rug stretching such as toe touching, or yoga postures. Inversion with an ironing board.
While waiting in line. Eye exercises. The Horse stance. Deep breathing. Kinetotonics.
In your yard there are many opportunities for outside exercise. Walk fast behind a mower. Raking is good exercise and helps build abdominal muscles. Ladder climbing gives brachiated stretching.
Do errands on a bicycle if possible. You get fresh air, exercise, sunshine, stress relief, and your errands done.
Exercise in bed. Sit-ups and stretching are easy in bed.
Find excuses to move. Run up stairs or at least walk. Do errands by bicycle or on foot. Park in the farthest spot and walk. Bend over whenever possible.
It takes only a few minutes a day to feel and look better. From the new book, Healing Medicine, by Steve Blake (see page 60 for more fitness tips).
Saturday, January 21st, 1-2 pm: Free event at Borders Bookstore in Kahului.
