Routine Workout

Start the day with stretching to activate your muscles and increase flexibility. Take breaks throughout the day to do light exercises like squats, push-ups, lunges, etc.
End the day with dedicated workout sessions, calm your mind and body before bed with a yoga or meditation routine.

Minimal Exercises

Activities like cleaning, gardening, and washing cars are a decent way to stay fit and active. Seated leg lifts and desk push-ups can be done while working or studying without extra effort.
