Health News: Simple Routines to Improve Health
Diseases from an unhealthy lifestyle are some of the most common issues around the world and while some exercises and workout routines may be very difficult for some to achieve, there are various ways to up one's health through simple practices.
Whether man likes it or not, exercise is still the safest and most effective way to stay fit but with the many routines that put the human body on a stressed state, a lot of people decide to put exercise off the list of healthy living.
One of the most common exercises include the legs and while some may think it takes a lot of effort to build up the legs, there are easy exercises that can improve the health in no time. According to Medicine News, Evoke Fitness owner and Healthy Tracks partner Mena Spodobalski said, "The stronger your legs are, the stronger your whole body is going to be."

Some of Spodobalski's simple routines include walking up and down the stairs, side-stepping, bending one leg forward followed by the other, and power walking.
Another exercise she recommends for those who don't want to put a lot of strain on themselves through walking up and down stairs is bending the knees. However, this routine requires the person to have his chest up, with feet forward at shoulder's width apart. One also needs to sit back as low as he can, putting weight on the heels.
The NHS U.K. also suggests some sitting exercises that are both easy to follow and easy to remember. Not only are they good for older people but they are also recommended for those working in offices and employees who sit for a long period of time throughout the day.
The upper body twist is one routine that some may have tried though there is a proper way of performing the exercise for best results. First, sit upright with both feet flat on the floor. Cross the arms and reach for the shoulders, then slowly turn the upper body to the left as far as possible for five seconds. The hips shouldn't be moving and the routine should be done for about five seconds on each side for five times.
Hip marching is much easier as it simply requires the left knee to be lifted up as far as comfortable, followed by the right knee. Keep repeating the procedure for about five times and remember to sit upright and avoid leaning on the chair.
