Fitness Routines

Here are some Best Fitness routines for you. If you’ve been visiting this health and fitness blog for fitness tips, over last couple of weeks you’ll know by now all about how to get fit and healthy by following my free fitness routines.

For those of you who are new to this, I’ve been giving advice about fitness routines and fitness tips and how to make great improvements in your diet without making any major changes to the food you eat, and how to have a good exercise workout without taking any time out to exercise in a gym.

We’ve talked a lot about healthy diet, but last week we focused on exercise, and I’d like to continue with Fitness Routines and exercise tips this week.   The great news is that you can get an essential minimum amount of exercise in daily life without going to the gym, and without even setting aside time to exercise at home.   Refer back to last week’s article about exercise at home to get a couple of great workouts  for your legs and abs.

You probably drive to work, and even if you don’t, then you probably spend some time in the car going to the shops or wherever.   And isn’t it frustrating and boring when you get stuck at the lights, or caught in the peak-hour traffic!   Well, here’s a way to make it not so boring, using my system of fitness routines in your daily life while you are driving.

Next time you have to stop at the lights, put your hands on the wheel in the “quarter to three” position.   Now, pull outwards as though you were trying to stretch the wheel out to the sides.   You don’t have to strain, just use about 70% of your strength.  You’ll feel a very pleasant stretch in the muscles of your shoulders and your back.    Pull like that for a slow count of 5, and then relax. This kind of stretching fitness routines helps you do your stretching exercises while doing other chores.

If the lights have changed, then that’s passed the time for you, but if you’re still at a standstill, hold the wheel again, in the same position, and this time push inwards, as though you were trying to compress the wheel flat.  This time, you’ll feel a very nice stretch in your pecs. You may also notice a good stretch in your lats – these are the big muscles that run down outside of your back from your shoulders down towards your waist. Remember by following these fitness routines, you will be able to motivate yourself to go at a next level of your fitness journey. Just hold this squeeze for a slow count of five, and that’s all you need to do.   Probably the lights have changed now so you can go with this great workout and your daily fitness routines while driving.

You had to stop at the lights anyway, and instead of getting frustrated and filling your bloodstream with all those anger-chemicals, you’ve actually had a little workout or a nice and easy exercise that comes under the fitness routines it helps tone up your upper body, and worked off some of that traffic frustration !

Here’s another one of the easiest  fitness routines for you.   Next time you have to stop, put the handbrake on and try this.   Put your hands on the wheel and push yourself back into your seat to hold you steady, and just lift your feet off the floor.   Just a couple of centimetres is all that’s needed, as soon as your feet aren’t supported on the floor any more you’ll get a really good stretch on your abs, your stomach muscles.   Just hold your feet like that for a slow count of 5, and then put them back down.   If the traffic is still stopped do it once more, then put your feet back on the pedals and get ready for the traffic to move again.   This is a great one, it’s one of the excellent fitness routines and stretching workout for your abs, and it only takes a few seconds.

The beauty of all this is that you don’t have to put aside half an hour of your precious home-time to exercise, because you‘ve done one of your fitness routines while you were driving home!   These 3 exercises or you can say your fitness routines will help to tone your body.

Exercise without exercise, that’s the secret.  Now, like I said last time, these fitness routines will give you more energy, and might motivate you to actually take it to the next level of your fitness journey and start going to a gym, and if that happens then I can give you some seriously good fitness routines to follow in the gym.
