Greetings all,

I often sit and ponder why some people find it difficult to be active and how can I make it easier for them to be active and exercise.

I understand that at times we are all busy and we are caught up in the day to day routine of life. Then we sit and relax. Hey! We are entitled to relaxation time aren’t we.

I have an idea. What if I made some suggestions of exercise/activities which yo can do without leaving the house. In fact, what if it was while you were watching your favourite TV show.

I am not sayng this is the be all and end all of your exercise routine, but if it helps kickstart you into further things and/or balances what you already do, I have helped you out.

So next time you are watching free to air or a program with adds this is what you can do:

10 pushups/25 star jumps 

25 squats/15 tricep dips

Plank 60s,rest 30s then repeat.

20 reverse crunches/ 20 alternate lunges

12 back Extensions/jog on the spot till the adds finish

This is just a start. It is a general program which only requires your bodyweight. Make sure you have been given the all clear from your GP before you participate in this program. You may need or want to modify thiss to suit your fitness level.

But in essence, you can do this program anywhere, anytime. Better still you it works perfectly well for interval training, which is a highly effective form of training.

If you work 80% of your maximum durning the adds and rest while the show is on(you might want to stretch) it gives you ample rest. The workout may be anywhere from 20-40 minutes which is perfect.

Have a Happy and Healthy Day,
