Exercise Tips For The Day

Experts say that just about the best exercises for the time-constrained office rat are squats, which work the glutes, quads, hamstrings and calves; and push ups which strengthen the chest, shoulders, triceps, back and abs.

For the squat, stand with feet hip-width apart and toes straight ahead. Bend the knees to the
floor, keeping the torso straight and abs pulled in tight. Keep your
knees behind your toes. Do not go lower than 90 degrees. Do 10 reps a day.

For  push-ups, face the floor, balancing on
your toe and hands. The hands should be wider than shoulders and the body in a straight line.  Neither sag nor stick your tail in the air.

Bend your arms and lower your body
to the floor, stopping when your elbows are at 90 degrees. Exhale and
push back up. Do 20 and take a 60-second break. Then do 20 more on your knuckles. You can vary this by putting your feet on a chair.

Now, if you are the type of person who tries to do wheelies on a bicycle at age 50 you’ll have probably broken your leg by now. Feel free to ignore this advice. You cannot do these exercises with a broken leg.
