Lazy Ways To Improve Your Health And Wellbeing

Let’s get one thing out of the way at the outset of this article.

When it comes to your health and well-being, you do need to put some kind of effort in. You won’t achieve very much at all if you are forever sitting on the sofa with your favourite comfort food, wishing and hoping that your health will improve. You do need to DO SOMETHING!

However, appreciating the fact that many of us are quite lazy when it comes to taking care of ourselves, I have some ideas that require little effort if you consider caring for your health a chore.

Interested? Sure you are, especially if you are reading this and have already fallen by the wayside with your fitness goals.

Tip #1: Workout in front of the television

If you can’t be bothered going to the gym, consider working out at home instead. You might want to download the fitness app by exercise guru Jillian Michaels, or buy one of her DVDs, and commit to daily workouts in your living room.

If you have space, why not invest in a treadmill, exercise bike or rowing machine? If you don’t want to go to the gym, and/or want a cheaper alternative, then working out at home is a reasonable alternative.

Using a simple skipping rope can give you great cardio benefits & a yoga mat doesn’t take up too much room in your home, there are hundreds of yoga DVDs available.

Tip #2: Play Active Video Games

Instead of traditional sedentary video games, opt for active games that require movement, like Wii Fit, a dance mat or virtual reality games that involve physical activity.

Tip #3: Order healthy food online

If you can’t be bothered to cook, it might be much easier for you to order a takeaway, or at the very least put a processed meal in the microwave. Quick and easy yes, but not very good for you, no matter if there are a few peas included with the meal!

Therefore, get online, and order some healthy food for a change. Start with your local supermarket and do your weekly shopping on the Internet, getting them to deliver food to your door. Then look for any takeaways near you that offer healthy food options, and/or sign up with a monthly subscription box so you get a regular supply of items that are both delicious and good for you!

Tip #4: Get some shut-eye

Something you do every day is sleep, this is the laziest way of staying healthy of them all, but it’s also necessary, as sufficient sleep (about 8 hours a night) is good for lowering your stress levels, burning body fat, and improving your cognitive abilities.

Don’t jump for joy just yet, however, as too much sleep is bad for you, so don’t assume you can spend extra hours in bed. Here are just a few reasons why. Still, provided you get to bed at a decent time and don’t overdo your sleep pattern, you are benefiting your health by doing very little.

So, should you be a bit of a lazybones, there are things you can do today to improve your health. Let us know what you think, and if you have any other lazy ideas, be sure to let me know.
