The TTC Cricket Academy Guide: How to stay physically fit during the Second Wave

 

With India currently, in the middle of the second wave of the Covid 19, it is important for us to stay mentally and emotionally fit. At the TTC Cricket Academy, we believe you not only need to mask up, vaccinate and maintain social distancing but it is also equally important to stay physically fit and ensure your body is in the best shape.



The following exercises have been prepared in consultation with our resident coaches and experts at the TTC Cricket Academy and can be done by anyone. Parents and children, both can benefit from these exercises and they can be done at any point of the day. In these difficult times, it is mandatory to ensure we stay as healthy as possible and these exercises will go a long way to help you do just that.




So without further ado, let’s see what check out the suggestions from our experts:

1. Lunges

Forward, lateral and walking lunges are all-time favorite exercises for anyone who has taken fitness seriously, and our experts agree. It strengthens your hip and legs, improves flexibility, and is a boon to your spinal cord.

2. Squats

An all-time recommended exercise that goes great with lunges is the squat. Go with two-leg squats if you are a beginner, but there are loads of different squats to choose from if you are an intermediate or pro. It helps speed up your metabolism, which is critical to your immune system, and helps eliminate back pain.

3. Rope Jumps

A cardio exercise that is still a popular sport with youngsters, our experts swear by its efficacy as well. It helps improve your lung capacity, improves blood circulation, and greatly helps lose body weight.


4. Planks

No exercise works your body better than planks. A mandatory plank session is on the list of our academy fitness regime, and it should be on yours too. A challenging exercise to master, planks are especially great for your posture and for weight loss.

5. Burpees

Another great way to burn calories and improve circulation in your body, burpees are a great but difficult exercise to master. You can start with a non-jumping version of the burpees and work your way up.





Do try these 5 exercises out and let us know how you are feeling in the comments. In the meantime, everyone at the TTC Cricket Academy hopes you stay well, stay fit and we shall all come out stronger from this.
