If you want to move more in everyday life, small exercise programs can help. How it works is reported by the journal "Naturarzt" (issue 2/2016). A news agency dpa says that for most of the exercises listed, it is important to repeat them five to ten times each and then do it three times with a ten-second break in between. Let's start with a good start in the morning. Already in bed you can start:
Playing the piano in bed
First stretch both arms over the head and both feet towards the foot end, then together stretch the right arm and the left leg and the other way around. When stretching is exhaled and in the relaxation phase. Another exercise that you can do under the covers is to do with your fingers and toes as if you were playing the piano. Then the blanket is beaten back and you bend your legs alternately - similar to cycling. Then put your legs up and turn the trunk from side to side. And in order to get the spine moving a bit, the legs are dropped on the opposite side.
When brushing your teeth, stand on your toes
Even for the time under the shower, the journal "naturopath" has an exercise ready: first roll the shoulders forward and back, then slowly turn the head from one side to the other. And when you shave or brush your teeth, you can always stand on tiptoe and hold the position for a few seconds. Then turn the trunk as far as possible without pain from one side to the other. Other easy-to-use exercises recommended by other experts at home include squats, which can sometimes be completed on shaky ground such as a rolled-up towel.
Movement in the office everyday life
Also in the office one can provide by movement for a better health. While working at the desk you should get up and walk around once every hour for two to three minutes. In addition, it is good to sit and relax the buttocks muscles six to seven times and let them relax. Even for motorists, the magazine has a tip: Who in the car in a traffic jam or at the traffic lights, squeezes the steering wheel for a few seconds and then pull it apart - this is a good exercise for the shoulder and neck muscles.
