Exercise for Readers
Posted by admin on July 10, 2009
We all love a good book or even a great blog post but our bodies don’t appreciate being in one position for a long period of time and what’s happening to our back and legs? Reading doesn’t have to stop you from getting fit and it’s time to stop reading about getting fit and start exercising while we are reading. Our backs legs and arms can all be exercised with a book or even a laptop in front of us.
Buy a book or laptop stand to hold your book in place while you run on the treadmill. That’s the easiest way to be in a prone active position while reading. But even if you don’t have a treadmill you can be doing leg extensions and arm and neck exercises while reading. Ly on your side and do leg lifts then switch it up and exercise the other leg. You can even hold a book in one hand and a weight in the other to exercise your arms. Just find the most comfortable exercise for you and do it for at least the length that you read. You will notice a difference almost immediately.
