Exercise at Home

Don’t sweat if your local gym is closed. There are tons of options for at-home workouts that don’t require any fancy equipment. With a little creativity and research, you can put together a routine that you enjoy and that holds your interest. Make sure it touches on both strength training and cardio for a wholesome workout. Doing a combination of both helps with building muscle, improving lung capacity, preventing cardiovascular disease, reducing stress, and becoming fitter. Now let’s discuss some popular options that can give you some inspiration to create your own routine.

1. Running Stairs

This is a very accessible workout that targets muscles that are often neglected. It requires a combination of endurance and coordination that is a level-up from running on flat ground. Start with walking if you’re a beginner and then progress to quick light steps while going up on your toes.

2. Jump rope

The benefits of jump rope are endless. It has a lot of scope for variation, targets the whole body, and doesn’t require much space and it’s super cheap. They say it can burn more than 10 calories per minute— don’t know about you but we’re sold! Remember that top boxers do this to maintain a spring in their steps.

3. Cycling

Indoors or outdoors, high resistance or low resistance, fast or slow, it’s a great low-impact option that you can explore.

4. Burpees

No cardio workout can be completed without burpees. It combines jumping, squats, and planks in one connected movement. Much loved and much hated. Try it and see which side you are on. Don’t let the hips drop when you go down and build the numbers gradually to avoid lower back strain.

5. Abdominal Crunches

The basic crunch should be in everyone’s workout arsenal. When performed properly, it strengthens and tones the abdominal muscles. Exhale forcefully when you come up and inhale while going down. Hold for a second on top and use five seconds to come down to make the most out of this move.

6. Planks

Like the burpees, no routine is complete without a few planks. An isometric core strength exercise, requires you to hold a position similar to that of a push-up for the maximum amount of time. But instead of resting on the palms, you rest the elbows down to change the angle while maximizing abdominal load. Start with 10 seconds and slowly build up. Don’t worry if you can’t hold it for long. You can reap its benefits just by trying your best.

7. HIIT

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts combine short bursts of intense exercise with periods of rest or lower-intensity exercise. The above exercises and countless more can be followed using the HIIT format.

8. Yoga

You should be pleasantly surprised (or not) to know that your workouts don’t have to stop during your menstruation cycle or pregnancy. Yoga offers a gentle practice that can help you during these times. Look up asanas on YouTube specifically for easing menstrual pain or performing prenatal yoga.

Conclusion

We hope you enjoy the workouts recommended here. Mix it up, keep trying new exercises, and remember to stay hydrated. Usually home is the first place where everyone starts their fitness journey. Especially, people who have doubts and do not want to spend any money on a Gym membership. However, doing exercise at home can be boring as you have no one to motivate or refer to. There are motivational songs for workout on the internet that you can listen to while performing the daily exercise.
