What aerobic exercises can you do at home?

Outdoor sports and gym exercises are the exercise methods and places we think of when we want to exercise. However, when we encounter unfavorable weather conditions and cannot find a place to exercise when the gym is closed, we can only choose to exercise at home. Exercising at home is a convenient method for me. So what aerobic exercises can we do at home? Mainly you have the following types.

The correct way to do sit-ups: Lie on your back on the mat with your knees bent to about 90 degrees (straight-leg sit-ups will increase the burden on your back and easily cause damage to it). Place your feet flat on the ground. It is best not to fix your feet on flat ground (for example, have a partner hold your ankles with their hands), otherwise the thigh and hip flexors will join in the work, reducing the workload of the abdominal muscles. You can also try crossing your arms behind your head, but each hand should be on the shoulder on the opposite side of your body. Never cross your fingers and place them behind your head to avoid straining your neck muscles when exerting force. This will also reduce the workload of your abdominal muscles. It is better to use a slower speed when performing it, just like slow motion playback. As your abdominal muscles pull your body upward, you should exhale, ensuring that all the muscles deeper in the abdomen are working at the same time. After lifting your body 10 to 20 cm off the ground, tighten your abdominal muscles and pause for a moment, then slowly lower your body back to its original position. When your back touches the ground, you can start the next cycle of movement.

Rope skipping is the most practical way to combat obesity, prevent dyslipidemia and hypertension. It is also a good aerobic exercise for building endurance.

Doing push-ups can play an important role in developing balance and support skills. It can also improve the central nervous system, which is beneficial to the firmness of bones, flexibility of joints, strength of ligaments, thickness and elasticity of muscles. At the same time, it can accelerate blood circulation, increase lung capacity, promote growth and development, and improve athletic ability.

Lie flat on the mat and push your waist down. Stretch your legs up, bend your knees to 90 degrees, and then bring your knees toward your chest and hold for 5 seconds. Place your arms at your sides with your palms facing down. Straighten your legs and slowly lift them up, contracting your abdominal muscles and keeping your toes tight. Do two sets of 10 times each.

Standing in the corner requires that the head, shoulder blades, hips, and heels should all be pressed against the wall. Pay attention to tightening your abdomen and lifting your hips, and keep doing this for about 3 minutes. Once you get used to this posture, you can balance your whole body even without opening your eyes. If you are not used to this posture or it makes you feel uncomfortable, it means that your bones have been tilted or distorted to a certain extent. As long as you pay more attention to it and make timely adjustments, it can not only relieve the discomfort in your shoulders and waist, but also improve your metabolism. This free little trick is also very effective for new mothers to tighten their abdomen after giving birth.

These methods and actions are very suitable for doing at home without wasting any time. From an economic point of view, it is very affordable. It doesn't require a lot of financial, material and human resources. From the health perspective, it also plays an important role in our physical health that cannot be ignored.
