Some people refer to today's fitness as the era of passive fitness. Swing machines, treadmills, climbing machines... Even if you don't want to move, these machines will force you to exercise. The swing machine, which was recently "removed from shelves" by many media outlets, is a typical representative of passive fitness. It advocates the idea of "want to lose weight and sweat without moving." It was once popular among people who claimed to be "too busy" or "too lazy to move." However, they later discovered that this approach is not about losing weight, but about inviting illness.
Don't opt for passive fitness. Make time to go outdoors more often.
In fact, there is no place where you cannot exercise if you want to. A simple movement can benefit you infinitely and transform passivity into activity. For example, a rope can be used for exercise at any time. Smoking has a significant impact on the lungs, but skipping is simple and can enhance cardiovascular function and coordination. Just 10 to 20 minutes each time, after work or after dinner, it can be done effortlessly.
Even if you're lazy to get out of bed, there are still ways. For example, you can do sit-ups on the bed, which can improve posture, prevent back pain, and prevent abdominal sagging. The movement is simple: lie on the bed, bend your knees at an angle of about 60 degrees, cross your hands in front of your chest, and lift your upper body until your shoulders are completely off the bed. Exhale when lifting and inhale when returning to the starting position, trying to breathe slowly. 15 repetitions make one set, and it is recommended to do 3 to 4 sets, with a rest of about 1 minute between sets. During rest, it is better to do dynamic rest to alleviate muscle soreness.
For those who use cars as a means of transportation or sit in offices, squatting can increase the strength of the thigh and gluteal muscles, improve body balance and trunk stability. Keep your body upright, with your feet apart at the same width as your hips. Take a step forward (the calf of the forward leg should be perpendicular to the ground). Adjust the stride to maintain body balance and stability. In the beginning, you can hold onto a wall or chair. After improving stability and balance, you can alternate walking, "walking" from one side of the living room to the other, with 20 repetitions per set being appropriate. If you are too lazy to learn these, you can do push-ups.
If all else fails, you can simply walk for half an hour after work instead of taking the bus. For car owners, when you're not busy, leave the car at home and walk to work. It not only saves some money on fuel but also contributes to the Blue Sky Plan.
