Easy Home Workout

Exercise doesn't have to be difficult or expensive. It can be easily incorporated into your every day life. Just begin by doing 30 minutes of light walking or running 3 times a week and slowly add resistance training. Try walking the kids to school or work, take them for a walk or a run around the park after dinner or go to a family swimming session once a week. Follow this simple plan and see if you can get results.

Cardiovascular workouts raise your heart rate and really get the blood and sweat flowing. After 20 minutes of cardio your body starts to burn fat. By ensuring that you do 2 hours or more a week you are helping your body to burn fat and improving your lung capacity, heart health and bone density.

Cardio includes- walking, running, rowing, cycling, skipping, dancing, swimming, aerobic classes and rowing.
