Winter workout

Chest presses

This simple exercise, which can even be done sitting in front of the TV or computer, trains the pectoral muscles. It’s also very practical after breastfeeding. First, sit up straight. Press the palms of your hands together in front of your chest with your elbows pointing outward. Take a little break after 10 seconds before repeating the exercise.
If you train regularly, press-ups are particularly good for exercising not only the chest muscle, but your entire upper body. 

 

Upper arms

Many people don’t like waiting in traffic jams or at red lights. You could take the opportunity to exercise your upper arms. Hold the steering wheel tightly with both hands. Tense your upper arms until the lights turn green. This way you can do a little workout on your way to work, particularly if you work in a city. 

If you want to combine the upper arm exercise with a whole body exercise, try the armrest with shoulder taps. Put yourself in the armrest position and tap once with the right and left hand on the other shoulder. 

 

Carry your shopping home

If there’s a supermarket near your house, you should take your shopping home on foot rather than in the car. The important thing is for both arms to be carrying the same weight, Either put your shopping in two bags or in a crate. Bend your knees when you lift them up to look after your back. When carrying things make sure you have a straight posture. If you need a break, put your shopping down for a few seconds before picking it up again. 

If you want some extra exercise, you could add some squat jumps to your daily routine or workout. In a few seconds they increase your heart rate, boost your metabolism and fat burning. 

  

Crunches

You can also do some exercises on the sofa. Sit sideways with one arm on the back of the sofa. Now lean back a bit, keeping your back straight. Now lift your legs up, so that your body makes a V shape. Hold the position only as long as you can. Stretch out your legs alternately, then raise them again. You can also do classic crunches of course. 

 

Low plank 

You can use the time it takes for the water to boil by doing a low plank with a chair. It is a very effective exercise for your legs, stomach, buttocks and back. Stand facing a chair and rest your forearms on it: Now move your legs back until they are completely stretched out and you’re on your tip toes. Hold the position until the water comes to the boil.
A classic plank during your workout is just as effective. Try to hold the position as long as possible. Make sure you don’t strain your neck muscles and hold your head in a spine extension position. 

  

Balance training 

If you have long hair it takes a while to blow-dry it completely. You can use the time to do some exercises. Stand on one leg for a few seconds, then on the other. This will train your balance and your buttocks.
During your workout you can train your balance and your legs with a standing sideways leg lift. Shift your weight to one leg and lift the other leg until it’s parallel to the floor. Repeat the exercise 20 times each side in 3 sets.
