What are some aerobic exercises that can be done indoors?

Some people are more active and like to do aerobic exercises such as playing ball and running outdoors. However, sometimes when it rains heavily, they can only be cramped in a room and cannot go out. At this time, they will feel unable to exercise and feel uncomfortable all over. In fact, there is no need to be too frustrated when facing such a situation, because you can also do aerobic exercise indoors. If you don’t believe it, just read on:

Climb stairs

Climbing stairs can be said to be a simple and easy aerobic exercise.

When climbing stairs, the body consumes a considerable amount of energy because it has to do extra work to overcome gravity. Climbing stairs consumes more than 50% more energy than jogging, and up to 10 times more energy than sitting still. For example, a person weighing 60 kg can burn about 100 kcal by climbing stairs for 10 minutes. However, you can't just go upstairs without going downstairs. Does going downstairs mean that you won't burn many calories? Of course, the energy consumption of going downstairs is less, but it is comparable to the energy consumption of walking. So overall, the energy consumption of going up and down stairs is still slightly more than jogging.

pedal

Maybe you find it inconvenient to climb up and down the stairs, so you might as well buy a step, which is equivalent to moving the stairs into your home. You can use this pedal to do some basic movements.

The first is to face the pedal, step on the pedal with your left foot, step on the pedal with your right foot, then step on the pedal with your left foot, and then step on the pedal with your right foot. After doing this for a few minutes, change your right foot to step on the pedal first. The rest of the movements are almost the same as before, except that the left and right are opposite. Then switch left and right and do it for 10-20 minutes.

The second way is to stand on the left side of the pedal, step on the pedal with your right foot first, then step on the pedal with your left foot, step down the pedal with your left foot, and then step down the pedal with your right foot. After doing it for a few minutes, switch to the right side of the pedal, and repeat the previous movements alternately. Repeat this process for 10-20 minutes.

Climbing stairs and doing pedal exercises are both aerobic exercises that do not require outdoor exercise. If it is not convenient to exercise outdoors, you might as well try the above-mentioned exercise methods, which can also play a good role in exercise and have a very good weight loss effect! In addition to these two exercises, you can also skip rope, lunge squats, etc. indoors, which are also aerobic exercises and can be chosen!
