innovate EASY GATEWAY TO FITNESS As students, we can hardly have time of getting fit due to hectic schedule for passing of school and pa- per works. However, we need to be aware of the un- derlying circumstances if we do no keep our body fit. Exercises can help ward off illness such as unstable blood pressure, heart diseases and diabetes. Unfortunately, we set aside of doing exercise this is why we are going to help you through this arti- cle. The following are the basic steps in doing exercise which will not exceed up to 30 minutes and can be done at home. WARM UP It is common that stretching is the best warm up alongside with the usual inhale-exhale routine. However, many studies sug- gest that stretching can actually harm an ill-prepared body. Stretching before your actual routine may cause muscular strains instead of relaxing your muscles. The best and safest way to warm up your body before doing the exercise is by walking or jog- ging. You can jog in place if you have limited space but be sure that your arms are positioned as if you are really jogging out there. You don’t have to hurry; it is suggested to warm up slowly and steadily. 40 BASIC STRETCHES counts 1. Stand straight and start with the basic mountain pose. Legs slightly apart and arms and hands in praying position, looking up. (8 counts) 2. Stretch your neck to the left (8 counts) then to the right (8 counts). 3. Stretch your arms sideways, to the left (8 counts), to the right (8 counts). 4. Repeat the routine 2 times.

science TORSO TWISTS 1. Stand with your legs slightly apart and your arms relaxed at your side. 2. Raise your hands sideward at chest level and from that position, twist your torso to the right (8 counts) then to the left (8 counts). Repeat the whole step twice. HALF-BENT TORSO TWIST 1. Do the steps of the torso twist. But this time do the twists while your body is slightly bent backwards. Twist to the left, twist to the right. Repeat the routine twice. JUMPING JACKS 1. Stand while legs are slightly apart then jump while your arms are as waving in the air .

You can use a mat to make it more comfortable. Put your hands behind your head and raise your upper body to meet your legs. Add counts per day PUSH UPS BASIC PLANK 1. Assume a pushup position.

Insert 16 counts of inhale-exhale in between the steps. TIPS 2. Rehydrate. Make sure that you drink ample amounts of water before and after you exercise. You have to replenish the lost bodily fluids. 3. Rest and change clothes after the exercise. Do not let the sweat in your clothes dry while you are wearing it. Also, do not go straight to the shower after the exercise.
