It has been proven scientifically that exercise has a good impact on overall health. Daily exercise or at least 5 days of exercise in a week is good for optimizing health. But we are all so busy with our work that exercise seems a tough task. Well, if you don’t want to go to the gym to try the kettlebell rack and you don’t feel like running on the treadmill then don’t worry because there are plenty of options that allow you to exercise at home without the need for much equipment.
1. Lunges: We will start off with the basic exercises that are essential for balancing an exercise routine. On our list, lunges are on top. Lunges are great when you want to promote functional movement and strength in your legs. You just need to stand tall with your feet wide open. Then take a step forward with your right leg and try to bend your right knee slowly in a normal way as you do so. Don’t push your luck when you are in the beginning phase. Stop when your thigh is parallel to the ground and your right knee doesn’t extend past your right foot. Stand back tall and try it with your left leg. Try doing that for both legs and do these at least 10 reps for 2 to 3 sets on daily basis.
2. Pushups
Another overall best exercise that you can do at home is none other than pushups. You just need to drop your body on the ground preferably on an exercise mat and make a plant position. Put down your hands on the ground and bend your elbows. Positioning of elbows is critical to do this exercise. Try doing these while taking some breaks. Doing this will allow your body to have core strength and it is very effective for overall muscle building. Try to do as many as possible for a better workout.
If you feel like you are not fit to perform these, you can use the form that aligns best with your body through different styles.
3. Squats
Another popular exercise to build muscles around the bottom area of your body is squats. Squats help you increase lower body muscles like thighs and buttocks. But it also allows you core strength and flexibility in your lower back and hips. To do squats, try standing straight and keep your feet wider apart and keep your arms at your sides. Now try to bend your hips backward like you want to sit in a chair. Make sure your knees don’t bow too much. You want to drop down a little and then stand up while keeping your hands in front of you and your chest and chin up. Try doing 20 to 30 reps of this as well.
4. Overhead dumbbell presses
If you are too busy but like to keep the balance of the muscles, order a few sets of FitnessAvenue dumbbells and try to do a compound exercise. You could lift up dumbbells in both hands and try to lift them from your arm’s length to over your head. This is great for shoulders.
