Too busy with work to exercise? Lack motivation for physical activity and just can’t get moving? Long periods without exercise not only lead to weight gain but also lower your immunity, and exercise becomes even harder. So what should we do?
Exercises Suitable for Between Household Chores and After Bathing:
Morning Bed Exercise Routine
- Ankle Flexion
People sometimes experience dizziness, insomnia, stiff neck and head muscles, and poor blood circulation to the head, resulting in insufficient blood supply. After waking up, while lying in bed, rotate your head left and right 8-10 times to help reduce dizziness. Additionally, flex your ankle joints 10-20 times to activate your lower limbs. - Stretching
During sleep, the body often maintains a curled position. After waking, cross your hands and stretch them above your head while pointing your toes, extending your body. Combine this with deep breathing exercises, repeating 4-6 times. This helps eliminate fatigue and speeds up the waking process. - Lying Side Bends
Lie on your back, raise one arm and bend your upper body sideways while stretching your lower limbs. Perform 6-8 bends on each side. - Leg Extensions
After the previous exercises, sleepiness may decrease and legs might feel flexible. With one foot planted on the bed, straighten your knee until it touches the bed. Alternate legs, performing 10-15 repetitions each. - Leg Raises
Lie on your back with knees together. Raise your straightened legs until they form a 90-degree angle with your body. Then, engaging your abdominal muscles, lower your legs to a 45-degree angle, flex your ankles at right angles, and keep your tendons straight. Maintain this position, then return to the raised position. Perform this movement slowly, repeating 15-20 times. This helps relieve constipation and strengthens abdominal muscles.
