Snow is falling, so I am
beginning to feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and getting an inexplicable urge
to wish goodwill to all men. I love this time of year, but it is having a
terrible effect on one thing – my exercise routine. My morning jog has become
an essential part of my fitness routine, but I’m afraid I am not hardcore
enough to run in the snow. Therefore, for the winter season, I have been
focusing more on indoor cardio routines. I have been tinkering with a few
different exercises and am gradually figuring out what I like and what I never
want to do again.
I began by trying out some of the exercises
and I can feel my muscles working extremely hard when I do these exercises and
hope they deliver on the promise of keeping away cardiovascular disease.
If you are a beginner, it’s
important to start slowly. According to Healthline,
the CDC recommends starting with just 20 minutes and then gradually building up
the time and intensity. I started with a little more than this because my body
was already used to a certain amount of exercise, but I guess it’s just about
listening to your body’s needs.
I am really keen on increasing my heart health and avoiding
any nasty diseases in future, and I have grown into a fan of this exercise in
particular:
The Pelvic Tilt
- Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor
- Pull pelvis and ribs off the floor for 10 second
- Slowly lower back to the floor
I like this one because it is easy to do if I am short on
time and really keeps my abdominal muscles working – even if it might not be so
great for those who have back problems. Just play around and see what works for
you and your body.
