Going to Gym or a Health center might be an issue, specially for housewives and working women. So does it mean that you can’t stay fit ? Does it mean that your body-weight continues to shoot up and you can’t do anything ?
Aerobics is what you need! And the best part is, you can do it at home with a limited space and absolute little or no guidance.
What you need ?
1) Some good music. Play tracks as per choice that makes you feel energetic and high on Adrenaline. The music tempo depends on your body flexibility and agility.
2) A bottle of water and a towel
3) Light weight pair of shoes with good grips
4) Dumbles (each weighing up to 3 – 5 kg)
Thats it! Now you can get started. Aerobics includes different actions like, bending movements, stretching, strength training, flexing your muscles. You can do it solo or in a group. Usually, doing it in a group of 2 -3 takes the boredom away and makes the whole exercising fun!
