3 Simple Routines To Make You Fitter in 2010

Maintaining your health is the basis of all the other activities in life. If you are not healthy you would not be able to enjoy what life has to offer us. Many of us have the excuse that we do not have the time. The routine I am suggesting is a quick routine which should take less than an hour. This is a good way to maintain minimum fitness if you do not exercise regularly (Or none at all) or unable practice yoga. I would suggest you practice these three short routines which help you to become healthier.

Start the day with these activities and finish it off as the first thing in the morning. Within a few days you would be able to see the difference in how you feel. So here is the list.

1. Water Therapy
   Starting the day with Water Therapy is very beneficial and I cannot over emphasize this. I have written a post on how to do it earlier. You can follow that. I would suggest mix around two spoons each of Amla and Aloe Vera juices to the slightly warm water. Start with 1 liters and increase to 1.5 liters. This will kill constipation, help you lose weight and detoxify the body and in turn increase the clarity of mind.


2. Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations)
   Practice 16 rounds of Surya Namaskar. It will be complete exercise for the entire body including muscles, ligaments, nervous system and glands. Start this 10 minutes after finishing the water therapy. You will sweat and it should not take more than 15 minutes if you do it slowly. Take rest in Shavasana (Corpse pose) for 5 minutes.


3. Pranayama Practice for 10 Minutes
   Practice yogic breathings for 10 minutes. Practice Kapalbhati for 5 minutes and Nadi Shodhan for 5 minutes each. This will help your to relax you, oxygenate the entire nervous system and soothe them. To lean about these find the links below.

So here is the break down of the activities. As you can see you can finish it in less than an hour.
Water Therapy - Warm the water and have it in 10 minutes.
Relax for 10 minutes.
