Daily workouts

In order to live a healthy life it is important to balance the food you eat with physical activity. Let's be clear: not everyone is a fan of exercising and often the fatigue and indolence caused by a long work day make people say "I'm tired now, I'll do it tomorrow". Even if you are not a gym person and you can't even think about tradmills and lifting weights, I will show you alternatives that will bring you benefits and will make your daily routine healthier.

These are some exercises that help your body not to get lazy: going to work on foot, walking your children to school, shopping for groceries without your car and going for a walk. Other exercises that will help you burn calories are: washing your car, cleaning your house and doing some gardening.


Another useful workout to fit into your daily routine is stretching: only a few minutes of it every now and then during the day gives pain relief to your articulations. If we spend the day in front of a computer, we often feel the need to stretch our legs and arms: these are very simple actions that make part of stretching routines without us realising it. If we perform these tasks regularly, we will manage to limber up our muscles and articulations and we will help them not to lose their natural flexibiliy. There are many benefits:

• reduction of muscle tension
• improvement of blood circulation
• decrease in the risk of injuries 
• improvements of posture
• relaxation of mind, body and soul

There are two different types of stretching techniques: static stretching that requires you to hold muscles and articulation in a position for 30 seconds, and dynamc stretching that helps stenghten core muscles by propelling them into an extended range of motion for 15 seconds. While completing these workouts force should not be used: it is good practice to stretch slowly and exercise precise control of movements in order to avoid feeling pain.
