6 Best Home Exercises Without Equipment

Sometimes like in recent days, it’s just difficult to go to the gym and work out. So home exercises can be a good choice to keep fit. But what can we do at home? 

Here are 6 ideas for ways you can exercise indoors at home for free or on the cheap.

#1. The Plank

If your room space is limited, but you want to exercise your core muscles, then flat support is very suitable for your exercise. First of all, you need to do a position similar to push-ups, but with your palms on the ground, but on your forearms, and don't bend your arms down toward the floor like push-ups.

You need to keep your arms outstretched in the same position. It will be difficult at first, the first challenge to maintain the posture for 50 seconds, and then increase the duration of exercise according to your situation. Let's see how long you can hold on.

#2. Lunges

If you have ever attended a fitness class, you may have been exposed to this exercise: doing lunges in the field. Turn back and forth and keep lunging until you are exhausted. Then you will feel a strong burning sensation on your legs.

This is a sport that doesn't need equipment, and you can do the same thing at home. You can do this from the bedroom to the living room or from the living room to the kitchen. If this is too easy for you, but the weight in your hand to make the lunge more challenging.

#3. High Knees lift

Running is a great sport, but when the weather is bad, it becomes very difficult to run outdoors. Running in place at home is an option, but running in place is awkward and looks silly unless you have a treadmill.

If you don't have a treadmill, a high knee lift is a good choice. It really makes your heart beat faster, especially if you speed up the range and frequency of your movements. To do this exercise, lift your knees as high as possible. This will be very tiring. You should be prepared.

#4.Jumping Jack

Jump Jack is a very interesting exercise, it will not be as tired as those mentioned above, but after this exercise, you will feel comfortable, because you have moved a lot of muscles in your body. It seems that every part of the body is breathing fresh air.

#5. Stair Stepping

Stair stepping is a great exercise to do in your home, even if you don’t have a set of stairs available. Find the biggest book you own (or a sturdy chair), put it in front of the TV, and step up and down while watching your favorite show. You may not work up a sweat as you would with a jump rope, but you will be keeping your body active and healthy.

I have to say that stair-stepping is also a good way to exercise. If you can step the stairs as fast as running, the effect is better than running. Your body will be awakened in a short time.

If there are no stairs, then you can find a stool and go up and down the stool as if you were taking the stairs. This way will not be as tiring as stepping the stairs, but it will keep your body energetic and healthy.

#6. Rope Skipping

I have to recommend rope skipping. I always thought rope skipping was for little girls, but God, I was wrong! When you try, you will find that after skipping rope for about a minute, you are almost out of breath. It only lasts a few minutes, and the next day you will find that your calves are already sore. If you want to do aerobics in a few minutes, try skipping rope.

Others

If none of the above exercises are suitable for you, you can search on YouTube, where there are many exercise tutorials on YouTube. You can search with keywords such as "exercise", or you can search based on the specific type of exercise you want.

For example, you want to do traditional push-ups, squats, and sit-ups, but you are not sure how to do these types of exercises correctly. YouTube is also very helpful. There are piles of videos showing you how to use the right form when exercising.

Parting Words.

Exercise at home is a very convenient way, but you should also choose sports clothes that are suitable for you. You can find a lot of beautiful sportswear at FIRM ABS, which can show your figure very well.
