DLP Health LAS6 Simple Home Exercises
I. CONCEPT NOTES
Doing regular exercises at the comforts of our homes is one of the ways to keep our
health in check. Try to do the following:
(1) Getting in and out of a chair. The simple act of standing up and sitting down in a
chair requires you to steady your hips, engage your leg muscles and tighten your tummy.
(2) Walking up and down the stairs. Walking down the stairs requires balance and
knee stability and then going up the stairs build strength in your lower and upper legs.
(3) Standing up and down from the floor. The simple act of standing up again requires
full body strength, flexibility, and coordination and then sitting down on the floor.
(4) Sweeping the floor. The rotational movement involved in holding the broom and
sweeping it across your body works the slanted abdominal muscles along the sides of the
midsection.
