Cooking while doing it has such a magical effect

It's really easy to keep fit, you can do it while you cook, for example. So what should we do? Please see the detailed introduction in the article below.

1. Stand on tiptoes

Exercise area: Legs

This movement can be used in many situations, such as when washing dishes or vegetables, use your legs to exert a little force, stand on tiptoes, inhale, lift up, exhale, and put down. Do 5 sets, 10 times each. This can not only stretch the calf muscles, but also reduce fatigue from standing for a long time.

2. Stand on one leg

Exercise area: Legs

Stand on one leg in the kitchen. You can also do this movement while working, such as when cutting vegetables. Put the center of gravity of your whole body on one leg, take a step to the side with the other leg, put your toes on the ground, straighten your leg, lift it to the side, hold for 20 seconds, and switch to the other side.

3. Bend your waist forward and backward

Exercise area: waist

Standing for too long at the sink will make your waist muscles tired, so when you finish your work at the sink, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, one step away from the sink, hold the edge of the sink with both hands, slowly bend down, stretch the muscles of your back and waist, and press down 5 times.

4. Squat

Exercise area: waist, thighs

The kitchen can be designed so that you have to squat to get the cooking utensils. When squatting, keep your legs together and straighten the part above the waist. This will exercise the strength of your waist and thighs.

5. Push-ups

Exercise part: Arm

If the soup is not ready yet, take a step back, put your hands on the refrigerator or table, bend your arms, straighten your legs, and slowly move your upper body towards the refrigerator or table. I usually do 15 of these "push-ups" in the kitchen every time I cook.

6. Waist rotation

Exercise area: waist

Exercise your waist more when washing dishes or vegetables. Don't put the washed items next to your hands. Instead, keep your feet where they are, use the strength of your waist to turn your waist, and place the washed items behind you.

7. Neck rotation

Exercise area: Neck

While waiting to cook, stand by the pot and move your neck and shoulders, moving your head alternately left and right. When you are operating with full concentration, your muscles will inevitably tense up unconsciously, so you should move them around at any time.

8. Side bend

Exercise area: waist

Do side bends in the kitchen during long waits for tasks like brewing coffee, making soup, or baking pastries. Although this movement is not large in amplitude, it can effectively stretch the whole body.

9. Arm stretch

Exercise area: Arms

When picking up seasonings or cooking utensils from a higher position, don't just pick them up casually. In fact, this is a good opportunity for you to exercise. Stretch your arms hard and pass the energy to your fingertips. At the same time, use force with your legs and stand on tiptoes.

Although kitchen fitness is not very intense, it can effectively stretch the whole body and eliminate fatigue. Moreover, combining kitchen fitness with washing vegetables and cooking can not only maintain your body shape but also increase the fun of cooking.
