Flab to Fab in 20 minutes


Flab to Fab in 20 minutes!

In India one of the fastest growing epidemics is obesity. The country is now in the grip of this problem which seems to be harmless but is a very severe condition due to its overall impact on health. Now is the peak time to spread not just awareness but also solutions to arrest this growing trend and promote good health. To be physically fit and maintain good health, one does not have to spend a lot of time. Spending just 20 minutes everyday doing simple exercises is good enough. The 20 minutes can be spent to do the following exercises and activities.





Jogging: To start the day with jogging is a very good and refreshing option. Jog early in the morning for 20 seconds and repeat with five sets. The gap between each set should be about 15 seconds.






 





Waistline: Stand straight with legs wide open. Lift the right hand above your head and rest the other hand on your left leg. Now bend to the left and lift your right heel. Count 16 and change to the other side in the same way. Repeat thrice on each side to reduce waistline.




Leg rise: Lie down and rest your hand on your sides. Now lift both your legs up slowly. Continue till you can do so and then bring the legs down slowly. Do four sets, 16 times each. This will help in reducing the lower abdomen.






Abs Cycling: Lie on your back and rest both hands on your sides. Start pedaling like you are riding a bicycle. Repeat three times sets of 16 each. 









With this article, I am making an effort to make people aware about how just spending 20 minutes can help them to maintain a fitter body and also a health mind. Happy exercising!! :)
