Exercise is an important part of our lives. Staying in shape is one way to increase your
life expectancy. Weight bearing
exercises are important also for increasing muscle mass and bone density as you
age. Most of us have learned what to do when it comes to exercising. The problem is where and when to get the job
done. With a busy lifestyle, making time
for exercise is a challenge. Weight bearing exercises aren’t just for
bodybuilders. As you age, especially
once you hit the age of forty, you begin to lose muscle mass. For women especially, bone loss becomes a
problem. When the body is in need of
calcium it can rob it from your bones.
Building muscle not only increases their mass but your strength.
Here are five easy toning exercises that can be done
anywhere and whenever you have time. At
home, at the office, or on vacation, you can do these easy yet extremely
effective exercises.
1. The Bridge Butt
Lift – Sounds like a plastic surgery technique but it is an easy way to
tone your buttocks. Lay down with feet
flat on the floor, legs shoulder width apart.
Place your hands, palm side down, on either side of your body. Pushing with your feet, squeeze your gluteal
muscles and lift your butt off the floor.
Hold the position for a count of five to ten and release down to the
floor.
2. Squats –
Squats work the butt, the hamstring muscles and the quadriceps. If you aren’t sure of proper form, you can use
a chair. Stand with feet shoulder width
apart and feet firmly planted. Push your
butt back as if you were preparing to sit in a chair. Keep your abs tight and your upper body
straight. Once you reach chair level
stop and hold the position for a count of two to five and release. At the lowest point, place all of your weight
on your heels for balance and maximum toning.
3. Reverse Lunges – Lunges work the
quadriceps muscles. They can be hard for
people with knee problems. A reverse
lunge still tones the right muscle groups but with less pressure on the
knee. Stand with feet together and arms
at your sides. Take one leg and move it
backwards until you are in lunge position: front leg bent at a 90 degree angle
and back leg extended until you are on the ball of your foot. From this position lower yourself down until
the back knee almost touches the floor.
Hold for a count of two and return to starting position.
4. Pushups – This
is a classic toning exercise that works all areas of the arms plus the chest
muscles. If you aren’t comfortable or
strong enough to perform a pushup on your toes, lower your body to your
knees. Be sure your arms are tucked into
the body and your back straight as you lower and lift your body.
5. Crunches –
Abdominal muscles can be worked every day to build strength and muscle
tone. Lying on the floor in sit up
position, lace your fingers behind your head.
Squeezing your abdominal muscles, lift your upper body until your lower
back is about to come off the floor.
Hold for two to five counts and return to starting position.
These five exercise moves can be done whenever you have
time. The best thing about exercise is
that its effects are cumulative. Even
five or ten minutes at a time will work to your advantage.
