How to incorporate more exercise into your everyday life

Sport in everyday life: "I don't have time for sport" - this excuse no longer applies. Why? Because you can now integrate simple workouts into your everyday life - it's really easy, especially in spring and summer temperatures.

A little strengthening and toning can be so easy. I have 10 tips for you on how you can incorporate a little exercise into your daily routine. Ready? Go!

1. Climb the stairs
Yes, yes, it's a bit trite, but you can never say it often enough: kids, take the stairs instead of the escalator or lift. You'll see: This is the best way to simply work on your fitness on a daily basis.

2. Balance training
When cooking or waiting in general, stand on one leg and lift the other slightly into the air. Hold, then switch to the other leg.

3. Squats
Bored of standing around while brushing your teeth? You can also do it with power! A few squats during the morning ritual don't hurt and work wonders!

4. Six-pack training while sitting
Here's how it works: Sit up straight, place your legs hip-width apart and hold your thighs and lower legs at a 90-degree angle. Then lift your feet a few centimetres off the floor and stand up again - repeat this exercise 5 to 10 times.

5. In the car
Please only do this at red lights: Press your elbows against the backrest, straighten your upper body and hold briefly.

6. Forearm support when boiling water
Until the pasta or tea water is ready, you can integrate a very simple exercise: Support yourself on the table with your forearms, tense your body, move your legs backwards until your whole body looks like a plank, stand on your toes and hold.

7. Tighten your thighs while blow-drying
Yay, it'll soon be summer & we won't have to blow-dry our hair - until then, wall sits are the order of the day: simply lean your back against the wall and squat down until your legs are at an angle of around 90 degrees. Hold this position for as long as you can!

8. Getting abusive on the phone
But not what you might think: instead of walking back and forth during a call, try lunging! Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart. Now take a big step forwards and bend your knees with your back leg (to just above the floor) and then back up again. Repeat ten times per side - if the phone call takes longer, you can do it more often ;).

9. Butt squeeze in front of the TV
Sit upright on the couch and tense your buttocks firmly, hold for 15 seconds and then release. Repeat this exercise about 20 times.

10. Enjoy the journey home
It's clear that time is always very short in the morning and passes much faster than during the rest of the day. Therefore, simply get off the train one or two stops earlier on the way home and walk home. So beautiful!
