Between assignments, exams and winter, curling up on the couch in front of TV is the most desirable thing to do, however, maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle is the most desirable outcome. We have researched and found 5 easy exercises to do in the comfort of your home during winter to get the blood pumping!
plank
Start on your hands and toes, see if you can hold it for 30 seconds - with no lower back pain. Then progress your plank by touching to your opposite shoulder while keeping your hips perfectly still and parallel to the ground.
squat
Start by sitting and standing on a chair without using your hands, as this gets easy, progress the depth of the chair.
To increase the difficulty of your squat, see if you can sit down and stand up on the chair using only one leg. Place your hands out in front of you to help counter balance your weight.
lunge
Start with an in place lunge, if you feel unbalanced on your feet, place your hands on a bench to keep you stable. Progress this to a steeping lunge.
push up
Push ups are the best upper body exercise to build strength and tone. Start with your hands on a raised surface, such as kitchen bench, as you get stronger you can progress this to 10 military style push ups with hands and feet on the floor.
...now you can curl up and watch TV...after those assignments!!
