Indoor Exercises for the Rainy Season

Indoor Exercises for the Rainy Season.

It has rained heavily across the country for several days.

Especially in July and August, with many rainy days, outdoor activities like walks and strolls become difficult, inevitably leading to a decrease in physical activity.

So, let's explore some indoor exercise methods you can do during this time.

This is a posture commonly known as the ‘bridge’.

This exercise can be done lying down and is excellent for building muscle strength.

While lying down, bend both knees to hip-width apart,

and place your arms comfortably by your sides. Then, inhale first, and as you exhale, lift your hips.

Hold this position for a certain period, then slowly lower your hips back to the floor.

This exercise can strengthen your thigh and gluteal muscles.

However, it’s crucial to remember that you should absolutely not strain your body or lower back while holding this pose.

‘Side leg lifts’ are another exercise that can be done indoors.

You can strengthen your gluteal and thigh muscles by lying on your side.

First, lie on your side on the floor, supporting your head with your bottom arm,

and place your other hand on the floor to stabilize your body and prevent it from shaking.

Then, keep your bottom leg straight and repeatedly lift your top leg as you exhale.

The key is to inhale when lowering the lifted leg.

Also, lift your top leg only to a height where your waist doesn't move,

and it's important to check if you feel the stimulation in your gluteal muscles!

And if you have a stationary bike at home,

it can be a great cardiovascular exercise.

Stationary biking not only helps with weight management and preventing muscle loss but also aids in preventing diabetes, according to research.

It is an indoor exercise method that contributes to overall health.

Furthermore, everyday activities like cleaning and washing dishes can also count as exercise.

Using a vacuum cleaner for 30 minutes burns about 90 Kcal, which is similar to 15 minutes of kickboxing.

Cleaning a bathtub for 15 minutes can expend about 100 Kcal, demonstrating that housework can also be an excellent form of exercise!

I hope this information is helpful for those looking for indoor exercise methods. ^^
