@fitinmidlife: Let’s bite the bullet. You’ve been thinking of exercising for a while. You know it’ll improve your body, energy, alertness and health. But there’s still something getting in the way. I liken it to standing at the side of a swimming pool dithering about getting in. So let’s do it. Let’s get it started. And to help here’s 3 simple moves you can do at home, without equipment that will work muscles, burn calories and most importantly, get you moving. 1. Alternating Lunges - These will elevate your heart rate, quicken your breathing and strengthen your legs. The real life benefit is finding it much easier to climb stairs or hills. 2. Squats. These will improve mobility and strengthen your legs. In real life these will help you get off a low seat or the floor without using your hands for assistance. 3. Push ups. These will strengthen your entire upper body, especially the chest, shoulders and triceps. Real life benefit is getting off the floor or lifting heavy things high up with ease (think Grandkids). It’s easy to discount simple bodyweight exercises but they are all incredibly effective, especially if you haven’t exercised for a while. So, take a deep breath and let’s get it started. 5 minutes every day is all it takes to start a new habit that will massively enhance your life. 💪 #fitover40 #fitover50 #fitinmidlife #midlifefitness #getfit
