Dont’ you Wish to be Fit and Healthy amid the Covid 19 Pandemic?

Here are the 10 Rituals which can be followed easily by all of us …

1. Small Portion size.. My sincere request to all of you to please keep the size of your meals small enough to keep extra calories at bay. You can have small bowls and plates to serve your meals in order to avoid eating more at once.

2. Exercise Routine…You should have daily schedule of physical exercises to be performed everyday. You can download any of the exercise apps from Google playstore…like 7minute workout, and other training app as per your liking and requirement.

3. Incorporate Yoga… You can add some Yoga exercises in your daily routine . These can be easily downloaded from You tube.

4. Rope Skipping… It is a very good Cardio exercise . It also helps in shaping the whole body. Also you can do it all alone without requiring anyone’s help.

5. Brisk walk… One can do briskwalk on the terrace during Lockdown. Doing it for atleast 40-50 min can keep us in good shape and will keep our weight in check.

6. Core strengthning exercises… You can easily do some brilliant core strengthning exercises from the comfort of your home. These include Squats, burpees,pushups, chair dips,planks etc.

7. Stair climbing… If you dont’ have access to a terrace for workout then stair climbing is a perfect exercise to do.It is also a very good cardio exercise.

8. Audio books and Podcasts … We can listen to some great audio books of our favourite personalities from different walks of life such as Athletes ,Cricketers, film stars, business tycons, social reformers ,spiritual gurus etc. This can keep us motivated in this tough time of corona pandemic.
