Colleen Saringer: We all know that exercise is important for us and taking a walk in the park during your lunch break is a great way to get it in and release some stress as well. Well you are out here, why not working some exercises for your upper and your lower body. The great thing about these exercises is no special equipments required, all you need to do is start with the closest park bench.
The first exercise we are going to do is a squat. Start by standing with your feet shoulder width apart, hands on your hips. Begin by lowering yourself towards the bench, keep your chest lifted, stomach pulled in by weight on heels of your feet, and trying to let your knees go over your toes. Lower yourself closely to the bench and then stand back up, if you are only able to go down half way that's fine as well.
The next exercise we are going to do is the pushup, start by standing behind the bench. Place your arms nice and wide on top of it. Take two steps back so that your body weight is now in your lower and your upper body. Begin by lowering yourself down toward the bench keeping your chest lifted and your stomach pulled in. Once your chest is parallel to the bench, go ahead and push yourself back up. You should repeat this exercise and the squat anywhere from 12-15 times. Before you start an exercise program check with your doctor, remember no matter how busy you are, you can fit exercise into your day. Keeping you in the motion zone, I'm exercise physiologist Colleen Saringer.
