Fitness Anywhere Series: Indoors and Active, From Seniors to Children
Maybe you're a senior who doesn't leave the house very often or you have a disability that prevents you from getting out; or maybe you're a parent or babysitter who wants to keep energetic kids active on a rainy day. Whatever the case may be, you don't need to be outdoors to get a great workout. Here are just a few ways to get your body moving while you're indoors:
- Walk around the house as many times as possible.
- Throw and kick a large rubber ball.
- Do some jumping jacks and/or run in place.
- Sit down and stand up. Repeat several times.
- Find a spacious area on the floor and do a few push ups and sit ups.
- Walk up and down the stairs in repetitions.
- Do yoga and stretch and bend legs, arms and back.
- Lift light weights (such as soup cans or milk jugs).
- Hold on to the back of a chair and raise and lower each leg.
- Lift weights attached to legs.
