The 5 Elements of Fitness:
According to Manerowski, an
effective fitness program has five components, all of which you can do at home:
1. A
warmup.
2. A
cardiovascular (aerobic) workout.
3. Resistance
(strength-building) exercises.
4. Flexibility
moves.
5. A
cooldown
A warm-up could be an easy walk
outside or on a treadmill,
or a slow pace on a stationary bike. For the cardiovascular portion, walk or
pedal faster, do step aerobics with a video, or jump rope -- whatever you enjoy
that gets your heart rate up.
The resistance portion can be as
simple as squats, push-ups and abdominal crunches. Or you could work with small
dumbbells, a weight bar, bands or tubing.
