At home workouts

Exercise build up muscle, improve your strength and endurance and a corresponding decrease blood sugar, body fat, psychological stress, body aches, and fatigue.

Sadly, a lot of women fail to enroll in a gym for too many reason (no time, too lazy, financial constraint and so on.)  Your hectic sked won't allow a trip to the gym to get a dose of healthy exercise.  There is no excuse, however, not to be healthy and look fit.

Make sure you are doing your at home exercises in the proper way.  A good tactic is to exercise first thing in the morning so you can get it out of the way before things get too hectic.

Here, some quick and easy exercises you can perform without getting off your chair to stay in shape and relieve tension.  (Before starting an exercise regimen, consult your doctor.)

• Stomach- slimmer.  Sit up straight with your hands resting on the knees.  Exhale as you pull your navel toward your spine, and hold for ten minutes; inhale and relax your stomach.  Repeat 10-12 times.

• Arm-firming stretch. Grasp your hands behind your neck and press your elbows back as far as you can; hold for a count of five,  Return to starting position, slowly drop  your arms and repeat.

• Body-shaping twist.  Raise your elbows to shoulder level then slowly twists your body as far around as possible to the right, and then to the left.  Do 10-12 turns to each side.

• Calf-contouring lifts.  Lean forward, resting your hands on your knees, and lift both heels off the floor, contracting your calf muscles.  Lower your heels and lift your toes toward your shins.  Repeat 10-12 times.

• Back-relaxer.  Sitting in your chair, bend over and put your head as far can. Repeat 10-12 times.
