So, some ways that you can stay in shape are:
Exercising daily
And
Eating right
Exercises
Some good exercises that you could do are stretches, push ups, sit ups, and much more.
Stretches
Here are Some really good stretches for your legs.
- For this stretch you will sit on the floor and spread your legs apart. Then you will lean to one side and reach for your toes. You could try to stay in that position for about 10 seconds. Once the 10 seconds are up, lean to the other side and do the same thing. After that you should lean forward in between your legs for another 10 seconds.
If you are looking for a stretch for your legs and torso muscles, then you'll probably like this stretch.
- First, stand up, and then spread your legs apart.
- Next, lean to one side with your torso in an arch-like shape. First with your finger pointing up, and then over towards your toes.
- While you are in the arch-like shape, bend over and reach for your toes for about 10 seconds.
- Do the same thing while leaning to each foot for about 10 seconds.
- Once you are finished bending over to your feet, bend in between your feet and try to touch the floor.
Here is a quick and fun stretch for your arms.
- First, put one arm out straight in front of you.
- With the arm that is out in front of you, bring it across your chest.
- Then, use your free arm for then next step. Reach out your arm straight out and make an L shape with it. once you have done that, then pull for about 10-15 seconds.
- Once you have done that, you switch arms and do exactly the same, but with the other arm. Both arms switch turns.
Push ups
If you are new to push ups, then you should start out slowly and only do about 5 to start off.
Sit ups
When you are doing sit ups, I think that it is easier when someone is holding onto your feet.
