Body and mind exhaustion can be treated to a number of factors like a heavy day at the office, sleep deprivation, full stomach, stress, anxiety or mood swings. Bit of self-exercise or joining a small session of health and fitness classes is a great way to re-energize your body and mind.

PROACTIVE MEASURES: Intake of oral rehydration salts, natural juices or a bit of water can relieve you from mind-body exhaustion before you actually set out for a workout on a lethargic day. Take small amounts of these liquids to help boost your mind and body. Also having deep breaths can refresh your lungs and mind. It activates your system. It’s kind of rejuvenating. You don’t have to go for circuit anaerobic exercises. You can do it on your bed or on your couch.

EXERCISES THAT RENERGIZE YOUR BODY AND MIND

Zumba Dance: Dancing exercises with your favourite music can vitalize you on a sluggish day. Do a full body lazy dance by stretching your body. If you feel sick of doing it all alone, call a friend. Social media has tons of such dance videos. It would be exciting and energizing to do it in a group.

Laughing Exercises: Laughter therapy is the most unacknowledged form of exercise. They excite both mind and body. But what are these types of exercises exactly.? Again, there are many ways of doing it. Pick your favourite comedy program and try to laugh as much as possible. As a group, in a health club, get in front of a mirror and try to laugh as funny as you can and ask your group mates to imitate the same. This may sound a bit unconventional, but trust me it works in reenergizing you.
