5 Types of Light Sports That Are Suitable for Beginners

Exercising is one of the ways to achieve an ideal body shape. It doesn't require strenuous workouts that leave you exhausted. For beginners, it's sufficient to start with light exercises. Once you get used to it, you will experience the benefits. Not only will your stamina improve, but you will also feel more energized throughout the day.

Here are five types of light exercises you can try daily to increase your stamina and energy:

1. Yoga

Some basic yoga movements are relatively easy for beginners to perform. However, despite appearing simple, this exercise can enhance flexibility, strength, and balance. Yoga is also beneficial for maintaining good posture and relieving stress.

The equipment needed for yoga is not too complicated. You just need to prepare a yoga mat as a surface for your practice. For comfort and safety during practice, choose one that is cushioned and non-slip, such as the Alph Yoga Mat Weave.

This mat has a thickness of 3 mm with anti-slip material to avoid the risk of slipping during practice. The double layer on the bottom surface also makes it more cushioned, stable, and durable for use.

2. Jump Rope

Jump rope, or skipping, is an easy and enjoyable exercise. This simple workout is a form of cardio that can strengthen your heart, increase stamina, maintain body balance, and of course, burn calories.

You can make skipping easier with the Champs Digital Jump Rope. Unlike regular jump ropes, this digital jump rope can count the number of jumps and the calories burned. You can view all this information on the LCD screen located on the grip. You can also set the time and adjust the alarm on this jump rope.

3. Jogging

When you're feeling bored or tired of exercising indoors, jogging can be a great option. If there’s no jogging track, park, or open space nearby, you can jog around your neighborhood. Choose the morning hours for the best results.

Jogging in the morning has many benefits. You can enjoy the fresh morning air while also getting a dose of vitamin D from the sunlight. For those who don’t have much time, jogging for 15-30 minutes is also sufficient to burn calories in your body.

Jogging will make you sweat a lot. To stay comfortable and avoid unpleasant odors, choose workout clothing that wicks away moisture, such as the Alph Cotton T-Shirt. Not only does it absorb sweat well, but its texture is also soft and smooth. Additionally, the material is elastic, providing extra comfort while exercising.

4. Cycling

Cycling has become a popular sport for many people over the past year. Besides being enjoyable, cycling is a cardio exercise that can improve stamina and maintain heart health. You can cycle around your neighborhood for 30 minutes in the morning. If possible, choose routes with less motor vehicle traffic for added safety.

To make it easier to transport your bike from one place to another, you can use the Airwalk Folding Bike. This 16-inch folding bike can easily fit in the trunk of a car and is lightweight to carry.

5. Weightlifting

Weightlifting is excellent for training the muscles in your arms and shoulders. You don't need to use heavy weights to do this. You can use small dumbbells weighing between 1-5 kg. However, make sure the dumbbells you choose are comfortable to use.

The Neoprene Dumbbells from Kinetic could be your best choice. Equipped with a neoprene layer on the grip, they provide more comfort and are slip-resistant. Additionally, this layer helps minimize scratches when placed on the floor.

Although they may seem light, the five types of exercises mentioned above can keep your body fit, even when you're active all day long. You can find the entire range of these products at the nearest AZKO Indonesia store. Additionally, you can also shop from home through AZKO Online.
