Work Outs To Improve Your Health Without Going To The Gym

Being an extremely busy person who works more than eight hours a day and six days a week makes your body weak and more prone to illnesses and diseases. You shouldn’t just sit there and do nothing about it. You certainly cannot stop all diseases from striking your body, but you can effectively mitigate such inevitable natural occurrences. With a clean and healthy lifestyle, you will gain a stronger immune system and somehow make the best of a bad bargain. Aside from healthy eating habits and a wholesome vegetable-rich diet, you should exercise regularly. There are a variety of work-outs to choose from.

Aerobics, Boxing or Kick Boxing, Jogging, Biking, or sports like Swimming, Badminton or Soccer are good cardio work-outs.

For a lighter exercise regimen, try Hatha Yoga exercise, which is very much like ballet dancing because of its slow, fluid and graceful movements. Hatha Yoga has yoga ‘asanas’ or poses which should be executed in coordination with proper breathing techniques. Categories range from easy to extreme asanas.

Among all work-outs, Hatha yoga is probably the most holistic exercise regimen. Aside from helping your body become flexible and your posture gracefully aligned, Hatha yoga also works wonders for your internal body systems. There are certain poses that will effectively help improve your digestion and elimination, your sleeping defects and discomforts, and your postural defects as well. It also includes core exercises that target your abdomen, which is the central and integral part of your body. A poor and unhealthy abdominal muscle tone is actually the root cause of lower back ache, a most common complaint in people of all ages. There are yoga asanas that target these neglected core muscles where the central seat of ‘chi’ or the ‘life air’ is situated. Hatha yoga allows proper circulation of chi around the body. Simply find a bona fide yoga instructor and enjoy the benefits of a healthy yoga lifestyle.
