In Flight Fitness ! Exercises to do on a Plane

Good Morning REVEllers , you must think i have gone completely off my rockers :-) It was just last year while i was en route to Tennessee , i saw a lady doing some crazy moves . Being as inquisitive as i am , i asked her what she was doing and she told me she was exercising . In the travel industry , December is described as "Peak Season" , more people travel during this time than any other season. People are travelling to be with loved ones or go on vacation . Today, i would like to share with you exercises you can do ... while in flight :-) These tips will be extremely beneficial to most of you who will be having those long connecting flights where you are sitting for hours.




Exercise #1: Leg Lifts

Sit on your seat. Close your feet. Now pull your knees up and then down without touching the floor with your feet. Up, down… Repeat at least 8 times! This is great for your abs! Extra points for those of you who wear jeans, as jeans add extra resistance and make the exercise more difficult.

Exercise #2: Circles

Sitting on your seat, lift your knees like in the previous exercise and do circles without your feet touching the floor. Repeat at least 8 times, and then do it again circling your knees in the other direction.

Exercise #3: Crossover Lift

As you are sitting, place the ankle of your left leg on top of your right leg. Now push your right leg up. And down. Repeat at least 8 times, and then do it again switching legs.
Again, your foot should not touch the floor.

Exercise #4: Tri Lift

Now place your hand on the bars of your seat. Make sure that you don’t annoy the people that sit next to you, and that your elbows point toward the back instead of outwards. Now lift yourself up using your triceps (the muscles in the back of your arms). Up, and down, up and down…Repeat another 8 times.
Your feet should touch the floor for stability. However, don’t use them to help yourself get up. This is an upper body exercise!
These are just some fun , quick exercises you can do on a plane . A bit of a warning , be sure to ONLY do these exercises when the "FASTEN SEAT BELT" sign is off . Also , in case you are wondering if people will think you are a freak ... they will . But! You will be a healthy freak :-)
