Workout for Couch Potatoes


There is good news for those who want to maintain their weight while watching TV. It is become necessary to develop new workouts for couch potatoes and people who think they are too busy to find time to keep fit.

Over time, at a premium, many Americans are looking creative way to exercise. In a recent survey conducted by Harris Interactive for the North American Spine Society, three out of four people say they use the stairs instead of elevators in the workplace, 58 percent said they began parking cars in the parking lot and walk about half were reported, while on the phone.

At the same time, however, 46 percent described themselves as couch potatoes - the main reason for excess weight. Many adults say they have delayed the work to perform other tasks such as watching television, sleep, do chores or work.

About three in four adults say they exercise more if they get in their daily activities, however, most adults say they exercise more often if you can make your home. Noncouch are potatoes, 80 percent want to exercise more, but said he had no time.

Meanwhile, more than 4 million Americans suffer from disc problems. One in four Americans over 30 will have recurring back pain, and one of every 14 will seek medical treatment for back pain or neck of this year, amounting to nearly 14 million visits a year. Back pain is the second most common reason people visit a doctor. Back and neck pain cause lost work days than any other condition. Due to absenteeism, medical expenses and related costs exceed                           $ 80.000.000.000 for back injuries each year in the United States. Exercise is a way to prevent back problems.

That's why it's important to find time to incorporate exercise into your daily routine. Besides things like climbing stairs and park further away, there are some fun ways to make your daily routine a chance to use:

• Alphabet foot. This exercise can be done, no matter where you sit, unless driving. It should not be difficult to find a place. Just write the alphabet in the air with each foot and ankle. You can make uppercase or lowercase, and in this case, in any language you want. Do this two or three times on each ankle ankles begin to strengthen and maintain or improve the movement.

• Make circles dishes neck. This exercise is easy to do when performing the task of washing the dishes is always unpleasant. When you stand at the sink, slowly turn the collar in a position to the right, trying to extend the tip of the head as far as possible. After three or four rotations, repeat the exercise in counter-clockwise position. Remember that this rotation should be done slowly and without pain, range of motion. In addition to increasing flexibility of the neck, this exercise can be overcome, while washing the dishes.

• Draw laundry costs. Put a laundry basket directly in front of you and have a washer or dryer directly behind you. Take a slice or two of laundry, get over your head and slowly dropped the clothes in the washer. Again, start with dry clothes, and then build on the wet clothes from the washer to the dryer.

• Lift the wrist away. This can be done every Sunday afternoon watching a football game a few. Easy to take control (with the largest battery you have the remote control) and while I was sitting watching your favorite team or a movie in the arm and pointing toward the TV, with the aim of the vertical clearance , moving only the wrist. Keep it there for 10 seconds, then put it on the ground, once again, just move your wrist. Repeat 3-4 times for commercials. Be careful not to accidentally change the channel when doing training or it can interfere with people who watch TV with you.
