Many of us want to stay fit and active but might not have access to a gym, or perhaps prefer the convenience of working out from home. The good news is, you can achieve great fitness results using just your body weight and a little dedication.
I've been experimenting with various home workout routines for the past few months, and I've found some exercises incredibly effective for building strength and endurance without any special equipment.
My typical routine includes a mix of compound exercises. I start with squats, aiming for three sets of 15-20 repetitions. These are fantastic for leg and glute strength.
Next, I move to push-ups. If full push-ups are challenging, you can start on your knees and gradually work your way up. I try for three sets to failure, or as many as I can comfortably do with good form.
Planks are excellent for core strength. I usually hold a plank for 30-60 seconds, repeating it three times. Remember to keep your back straight and core engaged.
Lunges are another great leg exercise. I do three sets of 10-12 lunges per leg. They help with balance and isolate each leg more effectively.
For a cardio boost, burpees are my go-to. Even a few sets can get your heart rate up quickly. I try for three sets of 8-10 burpees.
Remember, consistency is key. Try to do these routines 3-4 times a week, allowing for rest days. Listen to your body and gradually increase repetitions or sets as you get stronger.
