Simple Exercise and Your Cell Phone

Exercise should be an important part of your daily life. In order to truly reap the rewards, you must keep your exercise routine consistent. True, any exercise is good exercise, but if it’s done sporadically, you may not see the results you desire fast enough. For those of you out there that feel like you are too busy for exercise, think again. Believe it or not, you can do simple exercises while you talk on your cell phone! You don’t have to let having a conversation keep you from staying in shape any longer.

Simple Exercises for the Talkative Adult

  • Sit on an exercise ball instead of a chair. This will strengthen your back and your abs. It will also help improve your posture. The results are great and the effort minimal.

  • Walk. Walking is one of the simple exercises that bring the best results. Step outside to talk on the phone. Walk laps around your apartment complex or neighborhood. It doesn’t have to be an overly brisk walk, just strap on the headset and go!

  • Stair climb. If you live in a two-story house, or a multi-level apartment complex, use the stairs to your benefit. As you climb each step, put your weight into it, lunging forward to stretch your leg muscles. Walk back down and start over.

  • Purchase a hand gripper. Squeeze the gripper while talking with your left hand and then alternate to the left. This is an excellent and easy forearm workout.

  • Lunges. Stand upright with your feet shoulder width apart. Take a big step forward, planting your foot firmly on the ground. Keeping your upper body vertical, dip your lower body straight down until your back knee comes close to the ground. Hold the tension in your front leg and then raise your body up to the starting position. Repeat with the other leg. Do repetitions until you become tired.

  • Bicep curls. Use your free hand for a dumbbell, palm up. Keeping your elbow stable and close to your body, slowly raise the dumbbell toward your shoulder and then bring it slowly back down. Only do what you can handle. When you’re done with that arm, switch to the other arm.

  • Work your abs. Pull your abs in tight and hold for roughly 10 seconds and then release. Continue repetitions until you become tired. This is something that can be incorporated while walking for even better results.

  • Squats. This is one of the best simple exercises you can do. Stand with your feet a little wider than shoulder width apart. Squat down, sticking your butt out while simultaneously rising up on your toes. Doing 15 to 20 repetitions is a great workout for your inner thighs and gluteus.

  • Seated leg raise. Sit in a chair with your knees bent. Exhale as you raise your right leg. Hold the position for 30 seconds as you breath regularly. Inhale as you bring your leg down. Repeat this with your left leg. Do as many repetitions you can until you feel tired.

If you feel that you are one with the phone and putting it down just is not an option, then give these simple exercises a try. There is no excuse for not adding continuous exercise into your daily routine—phone, or no phone. Just stay active so you can stay healthy.
