No Equipment At Home Exercises
Time and excuses are usually the two common reasons people don’t exercise. The third reason is not having the proper equipment. There’s no reason people can’t make use of what they already have at home even if there is nothing.
- Skipping Rope
It’s a childhood favourite and skipping ropes are low cost. It improves strength and endurance, coordination and agility. It’s a good aerobic workout.
- Jumping Jacks
Targets your back, shoulders, and calves. It’s a great stretching and warming up exercise. It’s also a good cardio workout. You can do 3 or 4 sets and 10 to 20 reps.
Another variation of the jumping jacks is a burpee. A burpee is much more strenuous and you will feel the benefits of doing this exercise within a few minutes. Start in a standing position, squat down with both hands on the floor and thrust both legs back and then bring both legs back in and in one motion stand and jump in the air.
- Hula Hooping
Is a great exercise that targets the waist, hips and knees. You can burn up to 200 calories every half an hour.
- Lunges
There are a variety of lunges you can do and they all benefit the buttocks, calves, outer and inner thighs.
