Learning to take care of ourselves is so important every day, especially these crazy days! And so I want to make sure you are feeling healthy + happy at home! As one of the ways we all can do this, is by keeping our bodies active.
I don’t about you, but I have never walked so much in my life! Because of that, I have found a new appreciation for my home, neighborhood and I actually take the time to “smell the roses”, or shall I say the desert. But, I still make sure that I get some strength training, stretching and heart pumping workouts done too! So, I have compiled for you, some of my best home workouts that you can do with little or no exercise equipment.
Walking + Hiking Amped Up
Now that we all are walking and/or hiking more; here is a great way to amp it up! These extra exercises is a fabulous way to intensify your walks and get more lower body strengthening & toning. And with so many other people outside, maybe you will be the trainer/motivator for other’s too. Just make sure you keep your distance . . . . 6′ or more!
Ab / Core Strengthen
These exercises can be done with or without equipment. So, use what you have (or not have) to keep your abs & core strong, especially since we all have a tendency to sit around our homes more often nowadays. Can you say Netflix? Hulu? Amazon Prime videos?
Cardio + Heart Pumping Moves
You might not have a medicine ball or dumbbell weight, but I know you have something around your home to use as a weight. Haven’t we all have been doing more baking at home? Even more reason to do this workout . . .wink – wink! So I am sure you have a bag of flour or sugar to use instead. Did I say anything about “no excuses”? Well . . . let’s get going!
Body Weight Only Booty Building
Yup, the only thing you need is your booty! And who couldn’t use a little booty building and strengthening? No one, I say! Because keeping your lower body strong, is always a win-win to me! Now I have done this workout in many hotel rooms (as you will see in this blog post) and every time I can feel it in my booty the next day. Yippee!
Banded Upper Body Workout
If you have some exercise bands for this workout; you are in luck and probably someone who travels like me (well not right now!) and takes their workout on the road! As these are my favorite items to keep my exercising going, no matter where I am. But don’t worry yet if you don’t have them! Because you would be surprised that you can still tone your muscles without any resistance. Do the same moves in this workout; but concentrate on really (I mean really!!!) isolating the muscle and pretend you have the heaviest weight in your hands. Trust me, it will work!
Body Weight Express Workout
Only your body weight is required, that’s it! And you can do a quick lower body, upper body and ab workout all-in-one. Also, play some great upbeat music (think fast tempo) to get yourself moving quickly through each exercise as that will also increase your heart rate too. And if you have more time (which most of us do, nowadays) do the routine 2 or 3 times for a more extensive workout.
