Very often when hearing exercise our mind goes straight to the gym. However, this is not the only way to include physical activity in our daily life. Recommendations suggest at least 30 minutes of exercise, 5 days a week. Below is a list of alternative ways of exercising to increase our daily burns
Swimming
Perhaps the best aerobic exercise that improves flexibility, burns calories and is good for various ailments. It is the best choice for people with increased weight and joint problems as it does not burden them.
Bike
Cycling is a good alternative to aerobic exercise, especially for people who do not live in large urban centers. It helps to strengthen the muscles in arms and legs and strengthens the lungs, as well as improving endurance.
Exercises at home
The best option, especially after the outbreak of the corona virus and the closing of gyms, but also the most economical. Now on the internet there are many videos that can help us exercise at home, from which we can choose the one that suits us best.
Yoga-pilates
Both are good alternatives to physical activity. They offer muscle strengthening and are ideal for people with joint problems, bruises, etc. as their exercises can be performed with many alternatives adapted to the needs of each. They are ideal forms of exercise even for pregnant women.
Dance
Dance is the right way to escape from the classical methods of fitness. Depending on the nature of the dance and its type, we train the different muscle groups of our body in specific movements.
Sports (tennis, football, basketball, etc.)
We can choose the sport that suits us best and meets our tastes. Joining a group with specific training times helps us stay true to the fitness program. We can still play sports with our friends to make this process even more enjoyable.
Walking
Walking is the ideal exercise for people who are just starting to exercise. It is ideal for almost everyone (with the exception of e.g. people with knee problems). It is ideal for older people, for pregnant women and for people who want to lose weight.
