Good At Home Workouts For Losing Weight

By Maryanne Goff


The focus for many these days is on health and fitness. Whether it is to shed excess weight to look better or to simply boost energy levels. Many people have also adopted healthier diets in order to accomplish these things, and visit the gym regularly to increase their strength. For some, however, going to the gym is difficult due to time or money constraints. If you would like to increase your fitness level, but don't want to attend a gym, then you should pay attention to these good at home workouts that don't require expensive equipment.

One simple exercise that you can do at home is Plank Exercise. First, lie on the ground on your side. Your elbows should support your body as you rest it on them as you straighten your legs. Without bending the back or legs, raise the hips in a slow motion. Lifting one hand and resting the whole body on the other hand will be the perfect trial for you. This should be repeated 10-15 times in each set, as you do 1-3 sets.

Stairs within a house can be used to increase fitness. Climbing stairs strengthens the leg muscles, and is good exercise. Each day you could go up and down the staircase up to ten times or more depending on your current strength. If you don't have stairs, you could buy a stair climber for this exercise.

Another exercise that you can try in the house is known as crunches. This one is good for abs. It requires that you lie down flat with your hands at the back of your head and your fingers intertwined. Then, you will lift your legs up without bending your knees. The legs should be straight and then you would try to lift your head so as to touch your knees and hold it there for some seconds. You can do 1 to 3 sets of 10 to 15 reps of this exercise.

You can also do sit ups. It is ideal for eliminating belly fat. To perform sit ups, you will need to lie down flat on the ground with your hands at the back of your head and fingers intertwined. Then, you will raise your upper body without bending or moving your legs and hold it there for 1 to 2 seconds. For best results, do as many repetitions as you can.

If you are not fond of the above type of exercises, you may like to try aerobic dancing. This can be much more fun, and can be done according to a DVD that you purchase. Aerobics trains the whole body, and is therefore very beneficial. With a few friends, aerobics can be even more fun.

If you need to lose weight and keep fit at the comfort of your home, you have the above 5 exercises to consider. Of course, there are many others that you can still do at the place where you live. They include pushups, squats, pilates and even lunges.

Indeed, these are good at home workouts that can keep you healthy. You may do all of them each day of schedule each of them on different days. The goal is that you keep a healthy lifestyle by working out at home.
