With summer fast approaching, all you would want to do is laze around the house, slurp on ice lollies and juices, watch TV… basically, anything that saves you from the scorching summer heat. However, becoming a couch potato, in order to stay cool, isn’t the best option. But it’s too hot for exercise outside, you say?
Well, here are some fun exercises, that you can do, within the comfort of your home. While getting to know how to do them, also try your hand at the shuffle puzzle, to see an example of each workout.
Squats
Put your feet apart (as wide as your shoulders), put your arms out at shoulder level, and bend as if you’re sitting down on an invisible chair. Repeat multiple times. Make sure your knees don’t extend past your toes.
Side plank
Start by lying on one side (left or right), resting on your forearm. Keep your legs straight at a 90 degree angle. Finally, push your body off the floor.
Lunges
Take a step forward with either your right leg. As you do, your left knee should touch the floor. Make sure your right knee doesn’t extend past your toes. Repeat with the other leg.
Mountain climbing
Start in a push-up position. Then, alternate bringing one foot at a time forward toward your armpit and then extend it back out.
