Are you a woman in your twenties, thirties or forties? If so, you need to exercise. Why?
Exercise is essential in the prevention and management of numerous diseases and
ailments. Consider how these indoor and outdoor exercises can help you improve your
health. Your body will thank you later.
Go Outside and Get Fit
Body-weight Squat: While standing upright, your feet should be positioned shoulder-
width apart. The arms should be held straight in front of the body at shoulder level. The
arms should be parallel to the floor. Lower the body in a squatting position to the floor while
keeping the upper torso upright. Push the body back up to the starting position. These
motions characterize one repetition. Fifteen to 20 repetitions are recommended for the
maximum benefits
Side Plank: While lying on your right side of your body on an exercise mat, keep your legs
and knees straight. Then, use your right elbow and forearm to prop up your upper body.
Breathe in and hold the stomach in position. Continue to breathe normally and raise your
hips until your body is aligned with your ankles and shoulders. Hold the position for 30
seconds. Switch to the other side and repeat
Floor Y-T-I Raises: This exercise looks peculiar initially, but the three-exercise combination
move is quite effective. With this exercise, you will lie on an exercise mat face down. The
arms should be resting on the floor, should be completely straight and form a 30 degree
angle with the body. If someone is standing above you, your body will look like a “Y.” The
palms should face each other, and the thumb should point upward. Next, move the arms
perpendicular to the body to form a “T.” Lastly, move the arms overhead to form an “I.”
Get Fit While Staying Inside
While there are numerous gyms you can attend; a home gym is more convenient during
the autumn. If you don’t have a home gym, consider purchasing home gym equipment.
Ellipticals and treadmills are the most popular choices. If you have joint or knee problems,
you may want to consider elliptical machines. If not, ellipticals and treadmills are effective
for cardiovascular exercise. Treadmills are harder on the joints than elliptical machines.
Both are good choices for exercising in inclement weather.
Women Need Exercise to Remain Healthy
Women need exercise more than men to prevent certain diseases such as osteoporosis.
Often, women neglect to exercise, and their bodies deteriorate, as they get older. Instead
of visibly aging and causing unnecessary stress on the body, take time to try out some new
and fun exercises this season!
