You Need 10,000 Steps A Day

Do you know that in order to keep your heart healthy and your weight under control, you need to walk at least 10,000 steps each day? This may sound daunting but many activities you're doing everyday such as running errands or doing household works can add up to a few thousand steps for you.

To make sure you achieve the 10,000 steps each day, this lens will provide some simple and easy exercises that you can do at home. These exercise routines work on specific muscle groups which will help to tone your body. They are much more effective than the general exercises such as running errands and doing house chores.

Easy Home Exercises - Part 1 

NOTE: Always do some stretching to warm up before starting any exercise routine to prevent injury.

Here are the exercises you can easily do at home:

- Abs workout. I have found a great 8 minute video showing you how to do abs workout at home. You can watch the video at "Best Abs Workout At Home - Only 8 Minute".

- Curl is very easy to do. Just lie on your back with both hands behind your head and raise your upper body. Repeat this move for 15-20 times.

- Leg exercises can be done by lying down on your side and lifting each leg repeatedly for 15-20 times. You can also stand and hold on to the back of a chair and lift your legs backward repeatedly.

Easy Home Exercises - Part 2 

NOTE: Always do some stretching to warm up before starting any exercise routine to prevent injury.

- Stretching exercises. Stand with both of your hands against a wall and move your left leg back so that your foot is flat against the floor. Hold for a few seconds; then repeat this move with the right leg. Another great stretching exercise you can perform is to lie on your back, use both hands, bring up your right knee to your chest and hold it for a few seconds. Repeat this routine with your left leg.

- Arm exercises. This is important to improve muscle tone. For arm exercises, you can use an exercise band. Place both feet on one end of the band, hold the other ends with each hand and then repeatedly raise and lower the band (in an up and down motion for 10-15 minutes). If you have a pair of dumbbell, you can also use them to exercise your arms.

- If you are working at home and sitting in front of your computer most of the time, try to press down on your toes in an up and down motion frequently. This activity will help to keep the blood circulation flowing in your legs.

- Put on a CD and dance for about 20-30 minutes. This is a great cardiovascular workout. You can also incorporate sit-ups, jumping rope and push-ups into your daily home exercise routine.

Regular Exercise Can Help To Prevent Breast Cancer 

A study has shown that women who exercise for 6 or more hours per week have reduced the risk of invasive breast cancer by as much as 23 percent compared to sedentary women.

Regardless of your age, it is never too late for you to begin a regular exercise program. A woman's hormone levels will fluctuate throughout her life. Study has found that those women who exercise regularly are more likely to have a stronger immune system against breast cancer regardless of their age.

High levels of estrogen (a steroid hormone, produced mainly in the ovaries, that stimulates estrus and the development of female secondary sexual characteristics) have been linked to a higher risk of developing a breast cancer. Women who exercise regularly tend to produce estrogen in a shorter period of time and therefore reduce their risk of exposing to the hormone over their lifetime.
