While many do change their routine, but for some women it's really hard to do so. The kitchen can be one of the best places to add some basic exercise as women, especially housewives, spend a lot of time in the kitchen, taking care of the food habits of the entire family.

7 Ways to Exercise While CookingCooking in itself is a good way to burn more calories than when you eat at a restaurant or order a take-out. While you cook, you usually lift heavy pots and pans, stand a lot and move around the kitchen. Here are some things that you can do in your own kitchen and turn cooking in to a good workout!

Store smartly: Keep the frequently needed items (like spices, salt and sugar jars or cooking utensils) either in the upper shelves or lower shelves rather than keeping them at hand and eye level. You would have to stretch as you reach up or squat down every time you need these items. While picking items from lower shelves, avoid bending over at the waist to protect your lower back. Instead squat down by bending your knees slowly while keeping your back perfectly straight. This will give a good workout to your upper leg muscles (quadriceps and hamstring) and buttocks. While reaching for the items in the upper shelf, stretch slowly and rise up onto your toes. This will give a good workout to your calves. You can also make it a habit to do 5 repetitions of these calf raises or squats each time you reach for something high or low.

Toss your food: Toss food instead of stirring it. This way you can spend more calorie as it takes a lot more strength than mixing the food around with a spoon. Also, it works out your arm and shoulder muscles. Pick up the pan by its handle and toss the ingredients in the air. But make sure that you don't toss it too high for safety purpose.

Avoid using electric mixer: Whenever possible, use a whisk instead of an electric mixer. Hand whisking (like when whisking egg or curd) is a great exercise for your arm muscles. Similarly, you can use manual grating rather than using a mixer grinder whenever possible, like while grating tomato for a vegetable puree. Again, it will be a good workout for your arm muscles.

Turn kneading into a workout: Use both your hands while kneading the dough or mashing potatoes. This is a good exercise for your arm muscles. Also, knead for a little extra time; the dough will be softer as well as you will spend more calories kneading.

Use heavier utensils: Use a heavier knife or a cleaver while cutting/chopping your vegetables to give your hands, forearms and wrists a good workout. Also, if possible, try using heavier utensils like cast-iron frying pan and soup pots while cooking as they are much heavier to lift, giving you a better workout.

Improve your balance: While cooking, try balancing on one leg by raising one foot off the ground and hold for 5 to 10 seconds. Repeat with other leg. If you don't feel much stable, hold onto the countertop.

Use the wait time: While you are waiting for the milk to boil or the pressure cooker to whistle, don't just stand there waiting. Rather you can do on-the-spot jogging or neck and arm rotation exercises. You can also do counter push-ups by positioning yourself about two feet from the countertop and placing both hands on the counter. While on this postition, slowly lean in till your chin is just above the countertop. Now, push with your arms to lift back up and repeat. This is just like a normal push-up but easier. Remember to keep the floor dry so your feet won't slip.

This would also eliminate the excuses of not finding adequate time to do exercises! This objective can be achieved with the use of exercise balls. Yes! Exercise balls have made their way right into your homes! And you can use them conveniently in any corner of your home or office. When you are using an exercise ball as a chair while doing other works such as studying or working on the computer, you are actually keeping fitness at your fingertips!

Why Use Exercise Balls as Chairs?Here are the reasons why you should replace your chair with an exercise ball:

Makes you change positions frequently: You need to change your positions while sitting on an exercise ball in order to maintain your balance. For instance, when you turn 45 degrees to receive a phone call, your body needs to readjust to a new position. These movements would try to negate the harmful consequences of sedentary jobs. Improves the health of the spinal column: The body needs to balance itself on an exercise ball because it is not a stable seat. In this process of adjustment, the body assumes the proper posture. This boosts up the condition of the spinal column and diminishes back pains. Improves your sense of balance: You have to adjust your balance on an unstable surface for the whole day. This activity would enhance your balance sense apart from causing improvements in your muscle reactions. Strengthens the abdominal muscles: The frequent changes in the balance are handled by the body by making use of the abdominal muscles. So when you are sitting on an exercise ball, you are actually getting an abdominal workout. You are spending many hours on the exercise ball while at work and so the abdominal workout gives better results in these long hours. You would experience strengthening of your abdominal muscles. Keeps fitness at your fingertips: You do not have to find extra time for doing workouts. While sitting on your exercise ball, you need to spare just 2 minutes to perform mini-workouts and stretches. This is a very convenient workout plan and you would want to do it again and again. Improves circulation: Since you need to make movements to adjust yourself continuously on an exercise ball, your body's circulation process improves and blood flows to all the body parts. But normal chairs bring down circulation in some parts of the body. Makes you more energetic: When you sit at one place, you feel very tired. But when you need to change positions continuously, you would feel more energized. When you use exercise ball as a chair, you make more movements and feel active at the end of the day's work. Makes you lose weight: When you make movements while maintaining your balance on an exercise ball, you burn calories and this can meet your weight loss objectives. Brings fun and enjoyment: Who does not want to involve him in fun and playful activities with a bouncy exercise ball? These balls, with components of fun and excitement, are excellent substitutes for chairs! Does not make a hole in your pocket: Exercise balls are really cheap and the prices vary from 650 to 3,500 rupees. This is a highly economic option in comparison to the ergonomic chairs which might cost you several thousands of rupees. Sitting on an exercise ball and doing your work is a very exciting idea. Bouncing around on an exercise ball for the whole work hours not only adds fun to your stressful schedule, but also helps you in sticking to your fitness goals.

But it is important to be limber for a successful game of golf. Tense limbs and tight muscles are sure to disrupt your game and your physic. Exercise is necessary to play better golf as if you are physically fit you will be able to execute the necessary golfing motions more easily. You will also have more stamina out on the course.

Exercise Tips for GolfersMost golfers know that the swing plane is important. A golfer is always looking to improve their golf swing power, distance and golf swing speed in a search for longer drives. In order to do that, you need to focus on 2 areas

Core strength/stabilityFlexibility exercisesCore Strength/Stability ExercisesThe most important area to improve strength and flexibility for longer drives and more power is your core. A strong core is also imperative to maintain stability in the body during times when your balance is challenged. Good core strength also allows you to have more endurance so your short game is more precise, fresh and controlled.

Here are a few tips on establishing a good core:

Hold your club chest high with both hands shoulder-width apart and arms straight out in front. While keeping feet and hips fairly stable, rotate club to the right and then the left. Repeat each side 10 times.Sit on exercise ball in upright posture. Now take medicine ball or single dumbbell in both hands and bring it to chest height with arms straight. While looking straight ahead, rotate slowly to the right and then to the left. Go both sides 6-8 times, rest and repeat one more time.Lie on your back with your arms stretched out to either side. Slowly pull your knees to your chest. Roll your legs to the left then the right while keeping your shoulders flat on the ground. Lower your legs back to the ground. Repeat 8-10 times.Hold a medicine ball with both hands and mimic the motion of the club's swing. This exercise uses the resistance provided by the medicine ball to build up the muscles involved in the club's swing and leads to a much better hip rotation during the swing. You can also use a dumbbell instead of a medicine ball, but instead of holding with both hands, use your lead hand.Address the major muscle groups of the legs, chest and upper back by dumbbell squat, the dumbbell bench press and the dumbbell bent row.Do the dumbbell lateral raise for your shoulder muscles; the bodyweight trunk curl for your abdominal muscle; and the bodyweight trunk extension for your lower back muscles.Consistently doing weight training exercises that targets both the upper body and lower body will help to build and maintain strong muscles that can only help you become a better player.

Flexibility ExercisesFor a better golf swing, you need to have flexible muscles and adequate joint range of movement. Flexible muscles, ligaments and tendons are also extremely important in the prevention of most strain and sprain injuries. If your muscles and tendons are tight and stiff, it is quite easy for those muscles and tendons to be pushed beyond their natural range of movement causing strains, sprains, and pulled muscles. So stretch at least three times a week, paying particular attention to your back, shoulders, and arms. Here are a few stretching exercises for Golfers:

With your feet shoulder-width apart, extend your arms overhead and clasp your hands. Looking forwards, slowly extend your hand down toward the top of your feet. You will feel a stretch in hamstrings and lower back. Hold for a second and return to the starting position. Now, rotate your shoulders, arms, torso and head to the right, and slowly extend your hands downward to the outside of the right foot. Hold for a second and return to the starting position. Repeat it on the left side. Repeat this exercise 10-15 times.Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, then slowly bend to the side and reach over the top of your head with your hand. Do not bend forward.Place your right arm straight across your chest and push it to yourself with your left arm and hold. Repeat with your left arm.With a club behind your neck and a hand on each end of the club, you can execute a few side bends.Wrist ExercisesFinally you need to focus on your wrist. A strong wrist leashes out the power generated by your body for a powerful golf swing. Here are a few wrist exercises:

Take a pair of dumbbells. While standing straight with the dumbbells to the side, simply curl your wrists slowly up and then back down.With your arms hanging at your side, hold a golf club in one hand towards the end of the grip. Now, raise the club only by cocking your wrist and keeping your arm at side. Raise it as high as you can. Lower the club and repeat 15 times. Switch arms and do the same exercise.Adding the above exercises to your golf conditioning program will not only improve your game, but will likely improve your overall fitness as well.

How to find time to exercise?

Being physically inactive is very damaging to health. We all know that, but we still don't bother to pursue. We try to make excuses to avoid going to the gym. We try to show that it is not our fault that we're so busy and you don't get the time to exercise. But these are mere pretext with no substantial support.

How to Find Time for Exercise?

It is undeniable that a majority of our lives is spent juggling relationships, meet deadlines and meetings and trying to fit everything in. Everyone loves to be fit and look good. But very few of us actually find time to exercise. Exercise can help you achieve a healthy weight. It may delay or prevent diabetes, certain cancers and heart problems. And adults only require about 30 minutes of exercise per day. You'll be surprised (and delighted) to know that regular physical activity is easier to adapt as you may think!

Here's what you can do:

get up early: Yes I know, sounds a bit like say what your MOM. But if you think rationally, literally get more time in the day. Once you're up, put your shoes and clothes and running and just go for a 30 minute Jog. Experts say that those who work in the morning is more likely to have others to stick with it. However, if you are not a morning person then your best time is what works for you. Goal for the noon or lunch workout time if you're more active from 12.00 to 13.00.

do what you like: The main reason, why are made up of excuses for not exercising is because we don't like to lift weights or to run on the treadmill. But if you do what you like then there is no reason why he shouldn't do it. If you like playing basketball, play basketball. Exercise is not just weight lifting and doing cardio.

music makes everything better: Your workout may seem boring, if only you hear the elbow of the treadmill or the beats of weights. Why not invest in an MP3 player and swing up to some awesome music. It is also possible to load it with audiobooks or podcasts to make sure that you are interested in the course of the session.

Team up: Exercise can get a bit tedious, if you are the only one to do it. So why not get the whole family involved and even your friends. Everyone needs to exercise and in this way you and your family can be as healthy as can be. Also, when your motivation is low in some days, are more likely to stick with the exercise program to avoid disappointing your mate. You can also get your pet involved-taking him for a walk, play some frisbee; the options are endless.

is never all or nothing: Most people skip their workout routines because they go to the all or nothing approach. If conditions prevent you to do everything that expected for the day, do what you can and don't worry. You don't have to always be drenched in sweat. Something is always better than nothing. You can also try more delicate forms of exercise as Pilates, yoga or Tai Chi.

Fill your day with a lot of movement: The majority of our training also should not be a workout. You can include various activities into your daily routine to get more out of it. Activities such as:

Do domestic work at a rate fast enough to get your heart pumping.Walk or bike to your destination.Park a block extra from your destination so you can walk more.Skip elevators and take the stairs.Take advantage of the speaker phone and get up and walk during calls.Forget the remote control; Get up to change channels on your TV.Instead of hanging out in the cafeteria, take a short walk.

Divide: Another option is to split your exercise into two or more sessions doing some exercise in the morning before work, then more after work. Experts believe that in this way your metabolism remains high throughout the day and you can get much the same benefits when working out in a single block of time ...

plan in advance: Nothing works like a charm, if you have your full day planned for you. You can schedule a whole day before and make sure the tutorial sessions are included in your day. Keep this schedule as a ' to do list ' so that you will follow religiously every day.

Establishing any behavior that does not necessarily make you feel like optimization requires continually connect to what matters to you in your life. You need to care for your lifestyle, work and family responsibilities, but at the same time you can't ignore fitness. You need to know how to reorganize your life so that you have some time stress of exercise.
