Several Simple Exercises You Can Do in the Kitchen
Many housewives lack free time to go out for exercise for the sake of family, which undoubtedly has a great impact on women who love to exercise. So, below we introduce several simple exercises you can do in the kitchen for your reference.
Heel Raises
This action can be used in many times. Such as when washing dishes or washing vegetables, let your legs exert a slight force, tighten your feet, inhale, raise, exhale, and lower. Do 5 sets, 10 reps each. This can also stretch the calf muscles and relieve fatigue from long-term standing.
Single-Leg Standing
In the kitchen, do single-leg standing. You can also do this action during labor, such as when cutting vegetables. Place your entire body weight on one leg, step out one step to the side with your foot on the ground, straighten your leg, raise it to the side, hold for 20 seconds, and switch to the other side.
Chopping Exercise
Long-term chopping and kneading will make your hands feel sore, so take a moment to lower your arms and relax your muscles by quickly shaking your hands.
Stir-Frying Exercise
When stir-frying, you can take advantage of the opportunity to place your palms behind your occipital bone, and try to extend your elbows as much as possible; in the long wait time when making coffee, boiling soup, or baking pastries, do some side bends in the kitchen.
Forward and Backward Oblique Flexion
By the sink, due to long standing, your waist muscles will feel fatigued, so when you finish your work at the sink, spread your feet with your shoulders, and a step away from the pool, support your hands against the edge of the pool, and slowly bend your waist to stretch your back and waist muscles, and press down 5 times.
Squatting
You can design the kitchen to require you to squat to get the utensils. When squatting, combine your legs, and use the part of your waist above to straighten, which can exercise the strength of your waist and thighs.
Push-ups
The soup hasn't finished cooking, take one step back, put your hands on the refrigerator or table, bend your arms, and straighten your legs, allowing your upper body to move towards the refrigerator or table. You can usually do 15 reps of this kitchen 'push-up' during every meal.
