身体活动形式多样，可以做的简单运动有很多。在这里就为大家推荐一些。

An effective walking workout at home will help to tone up your legs, while getting some low impact aerobic exercise. If you don’t have any stairs available, just walk around the house a few times.

在家里走步锻炼有助于强健你的双腿，还是一种低强度的有氧运动。如果家里没有楼梯，就在家里来回走几次吧。

Jumping Jacks are also a great cardio exercise and are good for warming up the body.

开合跳是很棒的有氧运动，而且有助于热身。

Pushups may be not the most favorite exercise for many people, but you can modify them to suit your fitness level. When doing push-ups, you can support yourself on your knees instead of your toes. You can also do them standing against a wall, which strengthens your arms and builds your chest muscles.

俯卧撑应该不是许多人最爱的运动，但是你只要用适合自己的方式就可以啦。你可以在做俯卧撑的时候膝盖着地而不是脚趾。也可以对着墙壁做，这样可以强健臂力，并锻炼胸肌。

Crunches are the best exercise for building up and strengthening abdominal muscles. So long as keep going up until you feel the stretch of the muscles, you will see some benefit.

卷腹是强健腹肌的最佳运动。只要你坚持做到肌肉有感觉，你就能见到效果。

Leg lifts are great for building up strength and muscles in your legs. If you find it hard to do the exercises with your legs straight, try bending them slightly.

抬腿有助于锻炼腿上的肌肉，增强腿部的力量。如果你觉得绷直腿做抬腿运动很难，那么可以让腿微曲。

Squats are wonderful exercises for your legs and buttocks. You can even try these by sitting and standing up again from a regular chair, if you’re finding them to be too difficult.

深蹲运动对你的腿部和臀部都很有好处。如果你觉得深蹲太难，甚至可以坐在椅子上再站起来。

Light weight lifting. You don’t need to go out and buy expensive weights for this! Just use whatever you can find in your house. Start out with something lighter, such as a can of peas, and work yourself up to heavier items.

轻量举重。你不需要为了做轻量举重而出门买昂贵的举重设备！只要在家里随便找一些东西来用就行。最开始可以举一些轻的东西，比如一罐豌豆，然后慢慢练习举更重的东西。

Dancing is also a wonderful exercise, which is great for your heart. It can lift your spirits as well and give your overall mood a boost.

跳舞也是一项很棒的运动，对你的心脏有益。还可以振奋你的精神，让身心都愉快起来。
