Exercises that will keep you ACTIVE throughout the day during LOCK DOWN.

In my previous article I’ve told on how a posture is important to for working from home professionals. 

In the second part I will tell you how small exercise will keep us active throughout the day.



Exercise Regularly
As all the gymnasiums are closed, people cannot go outside. But they should make sure that they work out regularly, stretching muscles, and keeping themselves fit and healthy at all times. It’s very important to get as much movement into the day as possible and avoid being sedentary. Try some freehand exercises and stretches. Do crunches, push-ups, squats, and leg lifts in the morning to feel energetic throughout the day. Not only will it help staying physically fit but also increases productivity by improving mental clarity and focus.

Try these 3 simple exercises at home to release the fatigue, strengthen your muscles, and maintain calm.


  • Shoulder Raises
This exercise is a great way to relieve the tension in your neck.

Step 1: Raise your shoulders up to your ear
Step 2: Hold for 10 seconds, and drop it down with a force
For an even bigger stretch, do it for just one shoulder at a time, and then alternate five times on each side.





  • Leg Planks
Step 1: Sit to the edge of your chair with your knees bent and feet on the floor
Step 2: Gently extend your right leg out in front of you until it's straight and parallel to the floor
Step 3: Hold the pose for 10 seconds, release, and repeat with your other leg
Do the exercise five times on each leg.



  • Chair Dip
Step 1: While seated, place your hands on the armrest of your chair/sofa/bed and move
your bottom to the front of your seat
Step 2: Slowly straighten your arms and lift your body off the chair, then hold for 10 seconds.
Relax and get back to the starting position




These are all the must do things for a person working from home to keep themselves  productive in their working hours. It’s in the best interest of ourselves to keep ourselves active and make sure that we are in good health by the time the lockdown ends.
