Having a strong body is one thing, but maintaining it is the hard part. You probably have recently noticed that you are no longer as fit as you were. You are easily getting tired and can no longer cope with the exercises you used to do. There are some exercises that you can do to enhance or improve your fitness.
1. Taking walks
Walking is one of the simplest exercises that you can do. It is something that you do on a daily basis. How often and how long you walk can actually make you more fit. Walking adds strength to your calf muscles and to a small extent your quadriceps group of muscles. Supplementing walking with jogging or running also adds to the strength of the hamstring muscles.
2. Squat
Squatting is a great and simple exercise that you can do. Regular squats will build your lower trunk muscles including your gluteus, hamstrings and calf muscles.
3. Swim
Swimming is an enjoyable activity and it is also an exercise. This one usually increases the power of your bicep and triceps muscles as well as your leg and thigh muscles. It also builds up your cardiovascular system as it involves most of your body muscles.
4. Cycle
If you have a bicycle, use it to keep your body fit. Cycle around your neighborhood several times a day and you will have strong calf and thigh muscles which will keep you fit for long.
5. Kegel exercises
For women, kegel exercises are important in strengthening the pelvic muscles. These muscles usually support some internal organs and prevent them from protruding. They may also be useful if one has undergone plastic surgery like hymenoplasty because, these exercises also strengthen the vaginal walls. For men, they have proved to be important especially for those suffering from premature ejaculation, bowel or bladder incontinence.
6. Sit-ups and pushups
These exercises usually go hand in hand and they usually work on almost the same group of muscles. They strengthen the back, chest, arms and also the shoulders. Having saggy muscles as a man is a turn off for many ladies, so keep them firm for your own advantage and vice versa for the ladies.
7. Cardiovascular system
One of the important exercises that improve your cardiovascular system is the aerobic exercises. They build your heart muscles and make them firm, hence enhancing your health.
Some simple exercises can be done to remain fit, but there are others that are more sophisticated and expensive, as most of them will require you to pay for some gym memberships. Doing the above daily will keep you fit at a cheaper cost.
