Tai-Chi or Yoga

Tai-Chi and yoga focuses on slow movements or holding a pose and breathing techniques. Doing Tai-Chi or yoga helps you in three ways. Firstly, it improves your flexibility, keeping your muscles limber. Next, it gives you strength by allowing you to hold poses as they increase in difficulty. Lastly, it helps you refine and regain your balance with its slow, controlled, and repetitive movements. Tai-Chi and yoga can be done twice a day, weekly in 15 to 30-minute sessions.

Walking

The easiest form of cardio exercise is walking. It requires no training or any special equipment. Walking for 30 minutes a day daily is adequate for cardio exercise. Wear comfortable and supporting shoes to avoid leg and joint injury. Before going for a walk, always ensure that you’ve warmed up first. Remember to bring water with you to stay hydrated. Apply sunblock with an SPF of at least 30 when taking your walk outdoors. Take 3 to 5 minutes to warm up by doing lunges, calf stretches, and marching in place. If 30 minutes seem too much for you, you can split your walk into two 15-minute workouts spread throughout the day.

Here’s a simple walking workout routine you can do at home or outside.

Warm-up for 4 minutes.

Start marching in place for 60 seconds.
