If you are one of those that do not have time to go to a gym, then planning and doing all your workouts at home might just be the best option for you especially if you’re on a low budget. Working out at home could require you to set up a mini gym at home or buy a few portable exercise tools to help with your workout. But what if you could still maintain a healthy workout routine without necessarily owning any equipment, wouldn’t that be great?
This approach is even more useful for those who have to make short or long trips away from home every once and again. When you imbibe exercise routines that do not require any equipment, then you can easily take your workouts with you everywhere you go.
After doing some research, I found that there are actually a good number of workout routines that are very effective and can help you achieve great results with your body and health without you having to spend a dime buying gym equipment. I would be revealing 5 of these workout routines to you today and hopefully, help make your workouts more flexible and also save you some money.
- Jogging or Running
Jogging or running is one of the best exercises you can adopt into your workout routine and it’s one that does not require any sort of equipment, only your legs, a willing heart, and a pair of running shoes. Running is probably one of the best cardio exercises anybody can engage in as it provides numerous benefits to your entire legs and body at the same time.
Running is known to improve cardiovascular health, build muscular strength, increase bone density, reduce stress, burn calories, boost confidence, improve mood, and generally improve all the other markers for good health for anyone. So taking 20-30 minutes each day to engage in running or jogging will go a long way to your health and you wouldn’t need any equipment to achieve this.
- Crunches
Ab crunches are one of the best and quickest ways to develop the perfect abs for anybody who’s dying to have one. To do this, just lie on your back and bend your knees to come up with a 90-degree angle. Afterward, place both your hands behind your head, then tuck in your abs and start the crunches while keeping your lower back flat on the floor all the time.
Crunches help to build muscles. They work on the abdominal muscles and are also ideal for strengthening your core, which includes your lower back muscles and side abs. Crunches are very popular with those trying to get six-pack abs, however, they also help with improving balance and posture and reduce your risk of having back injuries later in life
- Lunges
Lunges are also one of the best exercises at home without equipment, as it works your entire hips and legs. While doing this, make sure to stand upright when performing this exercise and start by taking a big step forward using your left leg, while bending your right knee at the same time. Afterward, push yourself back up in order to go back to a standing position, and then take the next step by alternating both your left and right legs.
Lunge exercises are very popular with those looking to strengthen, shape, and tone their bodies, and help to enhance athletic performance and improve overall fitness. It’s also a very useful exercise if you’re trying to strengthen your back, hips, and legs, and improve mobility and stability.
- Jumping Jacks
Jumping jacks is one of the most enjoyable exercises that anyone could easily engage with alone without the use of any equipment. This fun-filled exercise is guaranteed to work your hands, legs, and your thigh muscles. It begins by first standing on both feet, pacing both your arms on your side hips, and then jumping as high as possible while tucking your abs in and bending your knees.
- Rotation exercises
This exercise routine involves rotating your wrists in both clockwise and anti-clockwise directions. Afterward, you then rotate your feet in the same way while still placing both of your hands on your shoulders, and rotating your shoulders in the same direction as well. You can also do this while lying flat on your back. You achieve this by lifting your left leg and rotating it clockwise and subsequently raising the right leg and rotating it in the opposite direction.
There are numerous exercise routines besides the ones mentioned above you can practice alone, from the comfort of your home, and without the use of any equipment. Exercises like push-ups, squat jumps, step-ups, mountain climbers, pull-ups, flutter kicks, and a whole lot more.
