Top 5 Sedentary Exercises to Lose Weight
If you are totally averse to the idea of sweating it out at the gym, then you are not alone. The good news is - you can actually burn your calories while watching television by doing some simple exercises without using weights. Bodyweight training is a time-tested technique that has been used to tone your body, increase muscle power, and get rid of body flab. Listed below are top five sedentary exercises that can help you reduce weight and gain a perfect body figure.
a) Squats – Squats are very easy to do and extremely effective. They are especially good if you want to exercise your thighs and buttocks. If done properly and consistently, squats can help you shape your buttocks, increase your stamina, and strengthen the thigh muscles. To do squats, you need to stand up straight, stretch your arms so that they are parallel to the floor, and then bend your knees in a way that your thighs are parallel to the floor. You typically use your thigh and buttock muscles for doing this exercise.
b) Lunge - Static lunges are a great way of exercising all major muscles such as hips, glutes, and thighs and are much easier than weighted lunges. Instead of stepping forward or back, you simply drop your knee to lower your body towards the floor. You can start the exercise by keeping your right foot forward ensuring that it is behind the toes, keep the torso straight, and then slowly lower the other knee to bring it close to the floor. Depending on your fitness level, you can begin with one to three sets of at least eight – sixteen reps.
c) Step-Up - Most people wonder if they are actually burning any calories when they do step ups. But the truth is they work the glutes and the hamstrings and increase your stamina as well. In order to activate these muscle fibers you need to step up on a platform that is at least 15 inches high. The exercise is really very simple - just stand behind the platform, place your right foot on the step, come onto the step by moving your weight to the heel, and then step back down to repeat all reps for the right leg while using the left leg only for balance. Then repeat this exercise for the left leg as well. You may perform 1-3 sets of 10-16 reps but make sure that you do not exert yourself.
d) Push ups –Push ups can be performed to work all the major muscles of your body. You can work your chest, shoulders, triceps, abs, and back using push ups. In order to do push ups, you need to position yourself face down on the floor and keep the body in a straight line from head to toe while maintaining the balance using toes/knees and hands. The next step is to slowly bend your arms to lower the body to the floor and stop for a few seconds when the elbows are at 90 degrees. Then exhale and push back up and repeat the exercise.
e) Ab crunch - Ab crunch can be very easy though it is important to maintain the right body posture while doing it. All you need to do is lie down on the floor on your back, and position your hands behind the head while doing ab crunch. You can work your abdominals by bending your knees, and raising your shoulder blades one or two inches above the floor. While coming up, exhale and keep you chin up and neck straight.

Exercise Swarmer $124.27 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Exercise Swarmer was a military exercise conducted in the spring of 1950 by the United States Air Force, United States Army and United States Navy in the southeastern part of the United States, headquartered at Fort Bragg in the state of North Carolina. Starting on April 24 and running through May 8, the exercise was intended to apply lessons learned during the Berlin Airlift to battlefield logistics, the exercise took place over ten days and involved over 60,000 personnel. Although the achievements of the airlift were initially considered disappointing as opposed to projections, by the time four days of the exercise had passed the results were considered to be the biggest step forwards since World War II by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. However, the United States Air Force determined that existing transport aircraft were inadequate for the cargo needs of the Army, General James Gavin calling for an increase in the supply of C119 cargo aircraft.

Exercise for Mood and Anxiety $17.95 Exercise has long been touted anecdotally as an effective tool for mood improvement, but only recently has rigorous science caught up with these claims. There is now overwhelming evidence that regular exercise can help relieve low mood-from feelings of stress and anxiety to full depressive episodes. With Exercise for Mood and Anxiety, Michael Otto and Jasper Smits, well-known authorities on cognitive behavioral therapy, take their empirically-based mood regulation strategy from the clinic to the general public. Written for those with diagnosed mood disorders as well as those who simply need a new strategy for managing the low mood and stress that is an everyday part of life, this book provides readers with step-by-step guidance on how to start and maintain an exercise program geared towards improving mood, with a particular emphasis on understanding the relationship between mood and motivation. Readers learn to attend carefully to mood states prior to and following physical activity in order to leverage the full benefits of exercise, and that the trick to maintaining an exercise program is not in applying more effort, but in arranging one's environment so that less effort is needed. As a result readers not only acquire effective strategies for adopting a successful program, but are introduced to a broader philosophy for enhancing overall well-being. Providing patient vignettes, rich examples, and extensive step-by-step guidance on overcoming the obstacles that prevent adoption of regular exercise for mood, Exercise for Mood and Anxiety is a unique translation of scientific principles of clinical and social psychology into an action-based strategy for mood change. |

Exercise for Mood and Anxiety (Paperback) $24.99 Exercise has long been touted anecdotally as an effective tool to raise spirits or reduce tension, but only recently has rigorous science caught up with these claims. Now there is overwhelming evidence that regular exercise can help relieve everything from common feelings of stress and anxiety to full-blown depression. With Exercise for Mood and Anxiety, well-known authorities Michael Otto and Jasper Smits bring their clinically tested exercise program to the general public. Written for those who need a more effective way to manage everyday low mood and stress--as well as those diagnosed with more serious mood disorders--this book provides readers with step-by-step guidance on how to start and maintain an exercise program geared towards improving mood. Equally important, the book sheds much light on the all-important issue of motivation. Most Americans quickly fall off the exercise wagon. This book helps demystify the traps of good intentions and the pitfalls that derail exercise attempts. How can you get yourself to exercise when you are tired, distracted, or stressed? What should you pay attention to during a walk or a run? How should you prepare yourself so that getting out for a run is not harder than the run itself? In answering these questions, the authors not only provide readers with effective strategies for adopting a successful program, but also introduce the principles that will help them keep with the program for the long haul. Providing rich examples and practical advice on overcoming the obstacles to a regular exercise program, Exercise for Mood and Anxiety will help readers feel happier and less stressed now--and, as they stay with this program, improve their fitness and health in the future. |
