5 Simple Workouts to do at Home

We all know that regular exercise is beneficial to our health. However, with so many alternatives and seemingly endless information, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by what works. Check out these 5 simple exercises you can do for ultimate fitness from the comfort of your own home if you cannot make it to the gym.

  • How to do Lunges
  • Begin by standing shoulder-width apart with your arms down at your sides.
  • Bend your right knee and take a step forward with your right leg, pausing until your thigh is parallel to the ground. Make sure your right knee doesn’t go beyond your right foot.
  • Return to the starting position by pushing up with your right foot. Reverse the process with your left leg. This is one repetition.

A well-rounded fitness plan should include challenges to your equilibrium. Lunges accomplish this by fostering functional movement while also increasing leg and glute strength.

  • How to do Pushups
  • Begin by holding a plank position. Your core should be firm, your shoulders should be drawn down and back, and your neck should be in a neutral position.
  • Begin lowering your body to the floor by bending your elbows. Extend your elbows and return to the start until your chest grazes it. Throughout the exercise, maintain your elbows tight to your body.

Because of the number of muscles that are worked, pushups are one of the most basic, yet effective, body weight moves you can do.

  • How to do Squats
  • Begin by standing with your arms at your sides and your feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart.
  • Push your hips back and bend your knees as if you’re going to sit on a chair, while keeping your chest and chin up.
  • Drop down until your thighs are parallel to the ground, bringing your arms out in front of you in a comfortable position, making sure your knees don’t bow inward or outward. Pause for a second, then extend your legs and return to the starting position.

Squats improve lower-body and core strength, as well as lower-back and hip flexibility. They burn a lot of calories since they employ some of the largest muscles in the body.

  • How to do Burpees
  • To begin, stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms at your sides.
  • Start squatting with your hands out in front of you. When your hands reach the ground, return to a pushup stance by straightening your legs.
  • By bending at the waist, jump your feet up to your palms. Bring your feet as near to your hands as possible, landing them outside if necessary.
  • Jump while standing up straight and raising your arms above your head.
  • Once returned to the starting position that is one repetition.

Burpees are a high-intensity whole-body exercise that gives you a lot of bang for your buck in terms of cardiovascular endurance and muscle strength.

  • How to do Side Planks
  • Stack your left leg and foot on top of your right leg and foot while lying on your side. Place your forearm on the ground, elbow directly under your shoulder, to support your upper body.
  • Form a straight line with your body, contract your core to tighten your spine and lift your hips and knees off the ground.
  • Slowly return to the beginning position. Switch sides and repeat the process

A strong core is essential for a healthy body, so don’t overlook core-specific routines like the side plank. To make sure you’re doing this technique correctly, concentrate on the mind-muscle connection and regulated movements.

Start the new year off with this easy yet effective fitness habit, something that I can almost guarantee you’re not doing. By making this small change to your daily routine you’ll quickly find those unwanted pounds coming off quickly and easily. ***Warning: This fitness habit is going to sound so easy that you may be inclined to simply dismiss it. My advice is to try it out before writing it off as too easy.*** The simple fitness habit that you’re not doing is to drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water daily. Now I know that sounds boring but take a moment to calculate your water intake over the past few days. Did you even get close to the minimum of 64 ounces? Really, for optimal fat loss, you want to be drinking closer to a gallon of water each day. Why is water such a big deal? Here are 3 serious reasons why drinking a minimum of 64 ounces of water a day will help you drop pounds and achieve a stunning transformation… #1) Water Helps Fat Metabolism in the Liver When it comes down to the technical process of losing fat, your liver is where the action is. The key to having a highly functional liver, one that quickly removes metabolic waste and built up toxins, is to be properly hydrated by drinking a minimum of 64 ounces of water each day. Your liver is a filter for your body. When you aren’t drinking enough water, your liver accumulates a buildup of waste product that slows the process of fat metabolism down. #2) Water Helps Balance Hormones Without getting too technical about the science of fat loss, it’s important that you understand that your hormones play an important role in your body’s ability to lose fat. When your body enters a state of dehydration, your organ and digestive functions are compromised, which in turn negatively impacts hormonal balance. This stress, brought on by dehydration, impacts your adrenal glands, signaling the need for an increase in cortisol, which encourages your body to begin storing fat, rather than burning it. #3) Water Reduces Calorie Intake By drinking a minimum of 64 ounces of water daily, your desire for high calorie, sugary drinks like soda and high fructose juices will diminish. This decrease in fattening calories really adds up! In addition to weight loss, drinking water has an infinite number of benefits – including improved skin complexion, boosted immune system, cleansing toxins out of the body, etc. While it’s important to drink plenty of water in general, be sure you’re increasing your amount before and after your workouts. The more you sweat, the more water you lose, and it’s important to replace that lost water to avoid dehydration. Does this make sense? Remember: Drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water each day. I hope that you find this simple fitness habit to be helpful in your quest for a new and improved you in 2025! Remember that participating in a challenging and consistent exercise program is absolutely vital when it comes to getting into great shape. I’m here to help you on your fitness journey.
