Daily Excerpt: Exercising in a Pandemic (Young) - Exercising at Home
excerpt from Exercising in a Pandemic (Young) - Exercising In the House Exercising at home doesn’t involve travel time to the gym, and it sets a good example for kids and other family members who might be parked in front of the television set or computer screen. Maybe they will get up and exercise with you. Maybe you can switch the television or computer to an exercise program and involve the whole family, or just leave the television on and exercise while you watch something the whole family enjoys. If the television is turned off, find some lively music on the radio to work out with. Stretch to classical or new age music. Work out to jazz or rock. Find whatever lively music your whole family likes if you are working out together. Working out to music you enjoy makes exercising more fun. You will be more likely to continue an exercise regimen. Start with basic exercises. Jumping jacks, stretches, squats, lunges and push-ups or knee push-ups are good starters.
