Now to the next step of being active...REBOUNDING & YOGA! In my opinion, after walking, these are the two easiest and most effective forms of exercise! The great thing about these exercises is that you don't feel like you're "exercising"; plus they can be done by most anyone, at any fitness level and intensity.
What is Rebounding, you ask?! Well, it's basically bouncing on a mini-trampoline! You can purchase one at Amazon. If you need something to hold onto to help stabilize you, here's another model. They are as inexpensive as $30, costing upwards to $150. In just 15 minutes of jumping, "jogging", "skiing", side-stepping, or even gentle bouncing on the rebounder, you get a great workout, as noted in this article. Rebounding helps drain toxins from the body by increasing lymphatic system flow. For those of you with bad joints, from years of running or other high impact activity, rebounding helps improve bone density! Start with this trampoline workout from WebMD, here.
Now for Yoga! You may say, "Not for me...I can't get into all those impossible, contorting positions!" Well, I'm here to tell you that in order to get the calming, strengthening, meditative, and restorative benefits of yoga, you don't need to do all that! This link has a sample 15-minute beginner's class to try yoga out for free! The Yoga Studio app is great for anyone, since it offers beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes, with classes from 10 to 60 minutes, and a choice of focus. Yoga has so many benefits, from stress reduction to heart health, from flexibility to strengthening, as noted in this article here.
So take the next step! Incorporate these valuable exercises into your daily routine, reaping the rewards of improved physical and mental health! Enjoy these fun, relaxing activities, and as always, find what gives you joy in your life.
