Easy, Effective Home Workout
Training from home will save you time, energy and money. And with an effective home workout you don’t have to compromise on the effectiveness of your workout, you just have to know what you are doing. There is no need to spend money on some fancy, expensive piece of fitness kit, just by using your own bodyweight you can get a great, fat burning workout.
The workout below is one of my favourites. It gives you a great resistance workout, a great cardiovascular workout and works every muscle in the body. Do the following set of exercises in a circuit format (i.e. one after the other) trying to keep your rest time between exercises to a minimum. Rest briefly at the end of the circuit and try to perform the circuit 3/4 ties depending on how long you have to exercise and your fitness level.
I have given an indication of the amount of repetitions or time you should do each exercise for, but obviously each person will have their own strengths and weaknesses so you may need to increase or decrease the reps/time depending on your capabilities.
Effective Home Workout;
1/ Squats – Stand upright, squat down until thighs are parallel to floor, then push back up through heels of your feet. 20 reps
2/ Press Ups – On all fours, lower your body towards floor, then push back up. 15 reps
3/ Leg Cycle – lay on back and cycle your legs. The lower and straighter the legs are the better. Must keep your back flat throughout. 30 seconds.
4/ Split Squats – 1 leg forward, 1 leg back, bend knees lowering back knee towards ground before pushing up. 15 on each leg.
5/ Stick ups – Back flat against wall with feet slightly forward. Run the arms up and down the wall, fully extending them, keeping everything flat against wall as you do so. 15 reps.
6/ Front Plank – Raise up off your elbows and feet (knees if too hard), keep back parallel to floor, engage core and hold position still. 20 seconds.
7/ Star Jumps – Jump out sideways with both legs, and as you do so swing both arms out. As your feet touch the floor jump back in and bring your arms back down. 20 reps.
This is just one example of how you can get a great fat burning, effective home workout without any equipment. You DON’T HAVE TO GO TO THE GYM TO EXERCISE EFFECTIVELY!!!
