Washing clothes, buying stove, mopping the floor... These small chores may sound simple but are quite tiring to do, but please do not ignore the effects of these small movements on the body's muscles. Housework basically does not increase your heart rate. Blow dry your hair while trimming your calves: Action instructions: When using a hair dryer to style your hair, spread your feet forward and backward and raise your heels off the ground. Key point: Keep your balance. Say goodbye to butterfly sleeves by watching the ad: Action instructions: It's commercial time again, so we will cross our straight legs, support our bodies with our arms and slightly bend our elbows. The deeper the elbows are bent, the greater the load they will bear. Key point: Understand your own tolerance. Vacuuming exercises the lower limbs: Action instructions: When using a vacuum cleaner, bend your waist and arch your back, which adds burden to your waist. You can avoid bending your back by taking a step forward. When recovering, push the ground with your feet, hold the vacuum cleaner in your hand, and do stretching exercises forward and backward. Key points: The upper body should be perpendicular to the ground. Washing vegetables to exercise your waist: Action instructions: Turn your body sideways to the sink, twist your waist and tilt your body slightly toward the sink. This action can train your abdominal muscles, back, and side abdomen. Important: Be careful to prevent slipping. Hanging clothes to show off a slim waist: Action instructions: Place the clothes basket on the ground, turn your back to the clothesline, bend your waist and elbows to take the clothes, twist your body in place, and hang the clothes up, alternating left and right. You can also lean your body back slightly when twisting to increase the exercise load. Key point: Straighten your waist when bending. Mop the floor to tighten your chest: Action instructions: Lie on the ground with your knees on the ground, hold the rag with your hands straight, and drag the rag towards your knees while arching your back. This movement is similar to push-ups and can firm the chest and beautify the back and upper arm muscles. Key point: Do not extend your hands too far forward, otherwise the shoulder joint will be overloaded. Washing dishes exercises the front of the thighs: Action instructions: When washing dishes, do not bend over, and command yourself to half squat as if you are sitting on an air bench. Keep your upper body upright and bend your knees slightly. The deeper the knees bend, the greater the load on the thighs. Key points: Keep your chest up to prevent your waist from being overloaded, and take a break every 3-5 minutes. The best time to do housework exercise: Physical exercise is most relaxing 1-2 hours after a meal. For example, 9:00 in the morning, 15:00 in the afternoon, and 21:00 in the evening. Especially after dinner, after doing housework and exercise, you can take a hot bath to relax your muscles. |
