Exercise at home is a great alternative to going to the gym. Saving money on gym memberships and saving time is another benefit of home workouts. But how do you start a workout routine at home? Here are a few ideas to help get you started.
Exercise Routine for Home: Basic Bodyweight Exercises
Exercises at home are usually done using your own bodyweight. These exercises will target all of your major muscle groups. These bodyweight moves will not only strengthen and tone your muscles but also help you improve your posture and flexibility.
It is important to keep in mind that the best way to do a bodyweight training session is with proper form. It is particularly important to use proper form when you are performing an exercise which requires you lift your legs. Using proper form ensures that you aren't straining or injuring yourself while performing the exercise.
Bodyweight exercises should be performed for at least 30 seconds per repetition, but it is best to perform the exercise on repeat for up to two minutes in a row if you have the endurance to do so. This will allow the body to recover, and can help you avoid injury.
Beginners make a common mistake by trying to exercise too fast. In an attempt to finish too much in less time, beginners can burn out or lose motivation. They may then give up their exercise program.
There are simple techniques you can use to help keep yourself motivated and continue with your workouts. You can do this by changing your workouts, reps and weights.
Method 1: Increase your reps, decrease the rest time between sets, and/or add a new workout. These methods are called progressive overload, and they will challenge your body. If you are a beginner, you should increase the number of reps in a set by about 20 percent each week until you reach your full strength level.
If you do push-ups at your level of total body strength for the first week, then for the next three weeks, do 15 reps for each set: week 2, 25 reps and week 3, 20.
You can gradually increase the difficulty of your push-ups by doing this exercise in later weeks.
The best part about these techniques is that they are easy to implement and won't disrupt your day-to-day routine. Just add a couple more reps per week to your sets and you will start seeing results.
This home workout will get you moving and give you more energy throughout the entire day. This workout will help you burn calories, slim down and boost your confidence.
