How to Exercise at Home

Colleen Saringer: There are many ways to fit exercise into your daily routine without even leaving your house. Just open up your pantry and reach for some cane goods. What's great about cane goods is they rate anywhere from one half to three pounds in weight. Here are two exercises for your upper body, start by having a seat in a comfortable chair. The first exercise is the shoulder press. Begin by raising your arms up parallel to the floor with your chest lifted and your stomach pulled in, raise your arms up towards the ceiling until they're almost straight and then lower them back down.

The second exercise is the shoulder raise. Start with your arms down exercise with your chest lifted and your stomach pulled in, raise your arms up until they are parallel to the floor and then lower them back down. Both of these exercises should be done anywhere from 12-15 times. Be sure talk to your doctor before beginning an exercise program. Remember no matter how busy you are you can fit exercises into daily routine. Keeping you in the motion zone, I'm exercise physiologist Colleen Saringer.
