Most people think they need a gym to get their workout in. It all depends on your fitness goals and level but you’ll be surprised at how effective an at-home workout can be. Let’s get your body moving!
Here are a few steps to take as you’re making your home exercise:
- Choose your workout
- Whatever your goals may be, tailor your activities to that. Cardio, strength training, or a combination of both.
- Choose ten different exercises
For cardio, focus on exercises with varying levels of intensity. This can be an alternation between a high-intensity workout, like jumping jacks and burpees, with a more natural move like marching or jogging in place.
For strength training, choose pushes, pulls, front-of-leg, back-of-leg, and core movements like squats, lunges, pushups, and dips.
Choose the length of each exercise.
If you’re a beginner, you can start with 10-30 seconds or 8-16 reps. If you’re an intermediate or advanced exerciser, you can go for 60-90 seconds or 20 or more reps.
Get ready
Set a timer or stopwatch on your phone, turn on some music, and start with an easy warm-up.
Workout time!
If you’re a beginner, do 1 circuit. For a more intense workout, you can do 2-5 circuits.
