I will show you how to add activity into the time you have available. It is based mostly on exercises you can do from home or work at no extra cost. If you follow this gradual and safe approach, you will increase your energy and feel less tired without taxing your willpower. Remember, doing some activity, even very small amounts, is better than nothing. This programme will help you to improve your aerobic fitness, your muscular strength and endurance and your flexibility.
Aerobic fitness requires the heart and lungs to work harder to deliver oxygen to the muscles.
Walking, jogging, cycling, swimming and dancing are all forms of aerobic exercise. Muscular Endurance exercise helps to increase the strength and tone of your muscles and will improve your ability to perform tasks such as carrying the shopping, lifting the baby and climbing the stairs. Flexibility exercises will increase the mobility in your joints and improve the range of movement. Activities such as bending, stretching and twisting will become easier and safer for you to perform. If you are already fairly active and are looking for ways to become fitter, each week I ll also suggest ways of making your periods of activity more energetic.
