Since this lockdown has begun, pretty much everyone who lifts is facing issues. Lack of gym made people lazy & most of us are losing interest in working out. However, I don’t feel that lack of amenities should stop a person from achieving their goals.
Wanna know how I am going out nowadays ?
I am losing gains faster than my hair growth. So don’t be like me & workout.
Below are some of the exercises you can do at home without any equipments.
- Jumping Jacks
This is one of the best cardio exercises you can do to get your blood flowing. If we talk about the benefits of this exercise, there are myriad. It makes your heart stronger, builds muscles stronger, helps in weight loss, builds stronger bones and uplift your mood instantly and helps relieve stress.
How to do it:
Stand straight with both the hands on the sides of your thighs. Jump along with raising your arms above your head & bring your feet apart like v-shape. Reverse the movement & come back to the original position. Increase the speed as the body progress.
2. High knees
This exercise targets your inner thighs & outer hip areas. Apart from that, its a good belly fat burning exercise.
How to do it:
Stand straight with your legs apart with your hips. Raise you right knee high & simultaneously raise your left arm. After that reverse the move. Continue pulling knees up quickly.
3. Planks
Most of the beginners don’t even know about this exercise. While most of the other think it only target your abs. Apart from the abdominal muscles, this exercise is very important to have a strong core. It also strengthens your shoulders, arms & back.
How to do it
Get into the position like you do while having a pushup. Now bend your elbows in 90 degrees keeping your body weight on your forearms. Make sure that your body forms a straight line from head to toe. Hold this position as long as you can.
4. Squats
Talk of the devil & he is here. I have already told about the myriad benefits of this exercise. If you want to build your legs, then you can’t ignore this exercise.
How to do it:
Stand straight with your legs at the width of your shoulders. Bend your knees & squat down keeping them in line with your feet. Then come back to starting position. Do this movement as many times as you can. I suggest to start with low repetitions & then increase as the body progress.
5. Step ups
If you lack stamina, if you feel that your lower body is not that strong. Then this one is a must for you.
How to do it:
Take a low height bench or a box. Place your right foot on the bench with your left foot directly under your left hip. Step up, straightening your right leg, bringing both feet completely onto the bench. Slowly bend your right knee, lowering the ball of your left foot back to the ground, keeping your right thigh engaged.
I hope you all will do all these exercises & it will benefit you. I promise.
