Functional exercise program to decrease overweight in housewives
Keywords:
Housewives, Functional Exercises, Overweight, Obesity, Mammoth Hunters ApplicationAbstract
Physical activity has gained significant popularity these days, and thousands of people around the world are flocking to gyms to exercise, maintain good health, and improve their personal appearance. Perhaps those at a disadvantage are housewives, who have limited time due to their daily activities at home. The need arises, then, to establish the first objective of structuring a functional exercise program that can be implemented at home and contributes to weight loss, regulating overweight, and preventing obesity. Functional exercises are versatile and very simple, and can be performed at home since they do not require a large number of implements or tools. Through exploratory research, we were able to discover the Mammoth Hunters app, which is a great alternative for housewives to exercise and avoid health complications. The instructors of this methodology are highly qualified fitness professionals who know how to guide the implementation of the exercises, and their recommendations are also aimed at boosting the self-esteem and motivation of housewives.
