In daily life, even small and light exercises can still have significant fitness effects. Doing housework, gardening, shopping, walking - as long as you keep moving, the benefits will naturally accumulate. By combining various movements in daily life with fitness exercises, you can save time and avoid potential injuries from intense workouts.
When you wake up in the morning, rub your eyes, massage your face, and comb your hair backwards. This is a good head massage that can make your facial skin look rosy and your hair shiny. Then extend your arms from your shoulders and swing them backwards, tilting your head backwards as well. This improves blood circulation in the head and allows your chest to take in more oxygen. Stretch your body or arch your abdomen a few times while lying in bed, which helps enhance the elasticity of your abdominal muscles. You can also turn over and arch your back like a cat stretching, stretching the muscles of your waist, back, and limbs. This is a good exercise for your waist and back.
Going up and down stairs in daily life is also a great fitness exercise. Going up the stairs involves both walking and jumping, which not only increases the mobility of your hip joints and exercises your leg muscles, but also enhances the overall muscle activity and increases energy consumption. Regularly going up and down stairs can exercise your heart and help you lose weight and become slim. Some small tasks in daily life can also exercise your body. For example, when hanging clothes to dry, if you can stretch your arms straight and lift your heels, it stretches and exercises the muscles of your waist and back. When mopping the floor, constantly change your posture and swap the mop from side to side, so that the muscles on both sides of your body are exercised simultaneously, resulting in symmetrical development of the muscles on both sides.
Before going to bed at night, you can also do some sit-ups, push-ups, or massage your limbs, waist, and abdomen on the bed. You can also massage the soles of your feet to reduce internal heat, nourish the kidneys and improve eyesight, and alleviate the fatigue from a day's work. In short, every move can contribute to your fitness.
