The no-equipment workout you can do at home


Getting back into shape is a daunting
task to maintain. Crafting a routine that
avoids the usual barriers, like paying for
a gym membership or expensive
equipment, will help to decrease the
likelihood that you will drop out. You
can get the results you want, and be a
healthier you, using your body weight for
targeted exercises at home.
When choosing a new workout routine,
make sure that you pick one that you can
stick with and can gradually make
harder as it becomes less challenging.
The video in the article will show you a
total body workout that you can do at
home with no equipment that can be
made as hard or as easy as you want it.
To make the specific exercises more
challenging, do more repetitions, or hold
for longer time periods. Do this work out
several times in a row to make it the
most challenging. If you feel that you
want to add weight, start with a weight
vest, which is safer and more
challenging than hand weights or kettle
bells. To reduce the intensity of the
workout, you can remove any of the
jumping moves. You may also tailor the
speed of the movements, whether it be
slower to make it easier of faster to make
it harder.
To add a high-intensity component to
this workout, mix in cardio intervals
between each of the exercises. This can
be two minutes of jumping jacks,
running in place, etc. The point is that
you get your heart rate up and keep it
there for at least a minute.  You should
aim to perform a workout like this for
30-45 minutes so keep repeating the
exercises until you reach that desired
time.
When starting a new workout, whether it
is this workout or any other, do not go
overboard. If you have never worked out
or haven’t done so in over a year,
jumping back into the swing of things
with improper form or an unattainable
amount of weight will make injury
inevitable. Most people in a gym cannot
do a proper body weight squat yet, they
are the ones that have loaded their back
with weight.  Moreover, I often see many
people take exercise classes doing
multiple repetitions of weighted lunges,
yet had they just done a few with correct
form, they would have gotten a better
workout and not needed to add the hand
weights.
Push yourself but do exercises that are
sustainable. These exercises may cause
you to feel uncomfortable because they
are working muscles that are not
regularly. So while you may experience
some discomfort, you should not push
through any pain. The most important
thing to understand is that you have to
listen to your body.
