Active Women

Dear ladies, to be fit and smart, we recommend you to… As daily routine : Get off the vehicle one or two stops earlier and take an extra 15-minute walk every day. Use escalators and lifts less often and take the stairs instead. Go for a workout in the park after taking your children to school and use the outdoor fitness training equipment there to do some exercises. Take a 30-minute walk after lunch. Join some training classes or play-in activities at sports venues in the afternoon, such as yoga, aerobic dance, fitness multi-gym, dancing, ball games and hydro-fitness.

On holidays:

• Invite your family or friends to join in your favourite sports. This will not only foster your interest in sports but also enhance your communication with your family and friends.

At home:

• Do some housework to improve your mobility.
• Do stretching exercises while watching television.
• Use lightweight dumbbells or water bottles (1 to 2 pounds in weight) to do muscle training in your spare time.
• Move your joints and stretch your muscles regularly to relax the tense and fatigued muscles if you have been repeating the same movements or maintaining the same posture for a long period of time.
• Take deep breaths when having a warm bath to help you unwind after a long hard day and to sleep better at night.
