This is some great advice for those of us who procrastinate abut heading to the gym. Especially in the summertime when it should be easier to just walk out your door and burn some calories! I'll try doing those bed crunches as part of my waking up routine!
Thanks Terry |

I think you're right about the procrastination thing, Terry. So many of us do it, too.
Good luck with your bed crunches. I hope this info is helpful to you. Shirley P.S. I'm not trying to cheat by rating my own article, but it won't let me leave the comment without rating. Naturally, I'm not going to click 'Poor'. ;) |

Those are all good points. People only have to workout three times a week, so why not divide the workout over the whole week? That is still burning the same amount of calories but in a time frame that works in a regular person's day.

I agree, Naomie. It doesn't have to be hard.
Thx for commenting, I'm sure it will help some people. |

Shirley... these small efforts do not help all. I am 107 Kgs and the exercise you mentioned is just not possible for my size. My own knees may not come closer to my own Chest :-) Shirley how many places do you write.... spreading thinly....

Shirley, thank you for your excellent exercise tips! I especially love the laughing one!
Having been involved in professional theatre for years, I'd like to add something to your tips. Many of us have heard the phrase mind over matter, right? Use that with your exercise program! You don't have to actually lift weights or even do a sit up. You'll need to contract and release your muscles though in the same manner that you would if you were really doing the exersize. Here is a simple example: Imagine that you're trying to lift a 10 lb. dumbbell with each hand. Lift your left hand and while it goes down, lift your right hand. Do this 10 times per hand. Now imagine that the 10 lb. dumbbells magically increase to 15 lbs. Feel your arm muscles get more tense. Now lift each arm again, ten times. Increase the amount of weight per arm, until you can't lift anymore. Feel the burn! :) Well that's the idea. You do have to physically do it, but you don't have to have any dumbbells. It will work with any exercise. You can even mountain climb on the ground! Good luck with everyone's exercise programs! |

ProCW, thx for this great information! Anyone can do the exercises you mentioned. I would think even people who are physically challenged could take advantage of these techniques.
Terrific, thx again! |
