Moderate Exercise
Five Everyday Exercises that Lead to
Fitness
Have you ever felt tired and stressed out from work and by the time you get home
you see your three children running towards you asking you to play basketball with them? You refused and promised
them that you will after you take you rest. Instead of disappointing your children, why not say, "yes" after all?
You will be surprised by the amount of energy you will have after that 30-minute activity with your
children.
Benefits of Moderate Exercise
Did you know that by exercising at a moderate pace for only 30 minutes, you would
feel a lot better, mentally? It has been proven that this improves the appetite and sharpens your style in problem
solving. Not only that. You will also feel that it is easier to sleep at night if you do moderate exercises even
for only 30 minutes every day.
What are the benefits of regular exercise?
It promotes self-discipline and has a positive impact how you perceive life. Exercise helps in lifting your spirits
and getting you out of any depression.

Walking is one of the most common and probably easiest
of moderate exercises,
which is beneficial to the body and the soul, especially if done with like-minded
friends. |
For first timers, it can be done for 15 minutes for 2 to 3 days a week. You can
increase the time you spend once your body gets tuned up for it.
DON'T you ever force your body! If you get hurt, then stop. You can take a break
from exercising for a few days and then you can start again but you need to start from day 1.
Everyday Moderate Exercises
Here are some moderate exercises you can do and enjoy:
1. Do the Walking
Make use of your surroundings. You can walk your dog, with your partner or child.
Encourage your family to do the walking exercise daily and you will find yourself burning calories while enjoying
the surroundings and getting enough sunlight that is also good for your body.
2. Discover the wonders of
Yoga
Yoga is one effective exercise that energizes not only your body but also your
soul. You may want to learn even the basic yoga positions that are not too complicated but proven effective. A
five-minute yoga exercise can perk you up and recharge your body with the energy you lost for the whole day. You
relax and at the same time you stretch!
3. Engage yourself into
sports
Play basketball, football, baseball, tennis or badminton. Many doctors have
recommended sports as an effective way to stay fit and healthy. Playing sports can also be done in moderation. Do
not take it too seriously. Shooting basketball with a friend is one moderate exercise that is also considered a
sport.
4. Join exercise programs at
work
If you still do not have exercises programs at work, then why not start it? You
can talk to your boss about it and start with your colleagues. You do not only lose calories but it is also one
good way to bond with them. This can be done 30 minutes, 3 times a week.
5. Exercise while doing household
chores
Gardening, raking leaves, lawn mowing, doing the laundry, vacuuming and car
washing are effective moderate exercises at home. Make use of these chores to sweat and burn calories. Instead of
using machines and gadgets to perform these chores, why not do it with your hands and lose some fats?
Making exercises as part of your daily routines will surprise you of how much
calories you will lose. Doing these moderate exercises of the same amount every day can burn 150 calories up to
1,000 calories a day!
