Lindsay Weiss of babycenter.com presented an article about simple exercises and directs it at women whose self-care schedules and bodies have changed due to childbirth and raising children.
Her approach embraces the changes in her life and does not demand a large time commitment or daily regimen. Her five suggestions for including exercise in every day life tasks are as follows:
1. Do calf raises while brushing your teeth.
2. Do leg abductions or extensions while washing dishes.
3. Do squats while moving laundry from machine to machine.
4. Do sitting abdominal squeezes while on the computer.
5. Do kegles while reading a bedtime story.
Key Takeaways:
- The best way to ensure these exercises get done is do them each and every time you do certain regular activities.
- Leg abduction and/or extensions are ideal exercises to do while standing and doing the dishes.
- Ab stretches are a perfect workout to do while one is sitting at the computer.
“And it’s important to listen to my body and not demand that it keep up with the running and boot camps that I’ve done for so long, especially if it hurts.”
