No commute, no stress… who doesn’t love a good home workout? We certainly do!
And if you’re wondering where to start with strength training, doing bodyweight workouts at home is an awesome place to start. Here’s a super simple, yet effective, home workout for beginners you can do at any time!
1. Start with a 5-10 minute warm-up.
This could be a number of things including a walk/jog around the block (or around your house), going up and down stairs, jumping jacks, swinging your arms/legs, or dancing around to your favorite song! The goal is to get your heart rate up and your muscles ready to work.
2. Complete the following at your own pace.
20 squats
5 push-ups (elbows in close to your side)
15 crunches
10 lunges on each leg
5 push-ups (elbows out, arms spread wide)
15 sit-ups
10 step-ups on each leg (use a chair, bench, or any sturdy surface you can find)
10 triceps dips (use a chair, bench, or any sturdy surface you can find)
20 Russian twists
You can complete more than one round if you’re up for an added challenge!
3. Cool down – the HARD work is done!
It’s important to not go from 100 to 0. That’s where your cool down comes into play!
Walk around until you feel your heart rate and breathing come back down to normal. This is also the perfect time to stretch!
There you have it! Give this a try and let us know what you think! 💪🏼
