Oh! This is even better done on regular basis. It is far better than running a marathon round the city in the name of exercising the body.
Yes running a marathon is good for the heart and lungs because it is aerobic but it’s not strength resistance training like above workout which not only incorporates aerobic by jogging in place but also has strength training to become strong.
Thank you for this feedback from you. You are resourceful and W will always read your articles.
Nice article. I hate much and stressful work outs so i believe this could be much better for me to practice on a daily basis.
Yes this is very easy and light.
As a person who hates working out, most of this seems super doable fo me! I can't wait to give it a shot tomorrow after my morning meditation. Also, drinking water is a life problem for me.
If drinking water is hard, try to put some fruit infusion, or add tea. Hope that helps.
Very helpful article. I can try some steps in the home during this quarantine. Thank you.
Yes Piku. Do it. Thanks for dropping by.
A simple way of maintaining both physical and mental health. Good Job ✌️✌️

By maintaining this we can keep our body always fit. It also refreshes our mind when we are in stress. This is a good article.
Yes Munia it is. How’s your day going?
There are a lot of corona affected people around me, so I can't get out of my house. That's why I'm always tensed about it.
Exercise is important for our physical and mental health.. I do walking for 30 mins... I will try to do other exercise soon...i did squats once.i found it interesting.. I am going to start soon.. Wish me all the best 😀
Walking is good. Yes squats is good too. Thanks for dropping by.
I think it's better I find the spirit again and start mowing. In between or even in bed I can do muscle exercise (contractions). Great you do this. 👍
