Body toning
To keep it really simple, you could do push-ups, walking lunges, and crunches/knee raises.
Pushups: Either boy or girl style. Start with 10 or so and add one each
Walking lunges: 15 on each side, work up to three times. Bring your back knee as low as you can comfortably.Body toning is very important for womens. Try to push off of the front heel so that you feel it in your glutes and upper leg. Upper body is straight. It's easier if you don't walk in a completely straight line. Don't do this exercise if you have any kind of knee injury.
Crunches: Make sure to tilt your
pelvis so that your low back is flat against the floor before you
start. Begin from there and do 50.
Get up and go sit on a hard chair. Lift your knees toward your chest and back down again 50 times.
(I've done as many as four sets of 100 each of the abs.)
There's always more, but those cover a lot of ground, and you can get them done at home quickly and without any equipment.
Let
me know if you need me to link to pictures of the exercises. I'm
figuring that you already know what they are, and I may have figured
wrong.
The easiest ones to do are to reach behind you and
grab an ankle and stretch comfortably and slowly (you can lean on
something for balance). Next, step forward and stretch out the back leg
and slowly pull down the calf muscle by pushing down on the back foot.
For
the arms, wrap your arms around your shoulders (hug yourself) and
slowly hug for about 5 sec, then release and do again a few times.
If
you are doing these earlier in the day, it isn't as important unless
you are sitting at a job for a period, then the same thing can happen!
I even got them driving my car!
