Ways To Workout At Home



By Emmanuel Palmer


Everybody deserves to live a full life - and one of the things you can do to achieve this is to have an active and healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately not everyone can afford to enroll in a prestigious and fully equipped fitness center. It doesn't matter; all you need is the commitment and heart and we will give you the best ways to workout at home.

Working out at home will not cost you much and will be much more convenient for you. As such, it might be also a challenge to stay motivated and maintain a workout schedule. Ask yourself, what will inspire you to stay fit? Is it having a great physique? Maybe it's to increase your stamina and over-all strength. Whatever is your motivation, it will be a good idea to have a picture or a phrase that will drive you framed or tacked on to your refrigerator or medicine cabinet to remind you constantly.

To make your home training sessions more effective, you need to monitor your progress regularly with detailed workout sheets. You can download these on the Internet or create and print your own log yourself. Before anything, list down important information about yourself like your age, what weight you started with, your present measurements, etc. Make it as specific as possible and check up on it weekly or monthly.

Divide your sheet into columns and list down the exercise done along with the duration, and the corresponding reps, sets and weight load every training session. Put a comment space at the last column. Put in significant events that transpired, how you were feeling, what were the supplements and food you consumed on the given day. Many times people will recognize a pattern that came out of their eating habits, specific workouts or particular stressful issues at work or at home. You will find that workout sheets will help you zero in and improve on what needs to be dealt with in your life.

Cardiovascular exercises are the most cost efficient way to stay fit. You can do it anywhere, anytime and you don't need to pay for it. Take a 30 minute jog around the park twice a week. Run up and down a flight of stairs several times a day. Jump rope or just turn up the music and start dancing!

They say that the exercises that should always be a staple in every workout regimen are the crunches and the squats. Good for us because you really don't need those fancy equipments to execute these drills. Hold your waist and start doing lunges and squats in your bedroom. You can perform crunches on the floor or sit by the edge of the bed and perform 3 sets of leg raises for your abdominal exercises.

If you have no dumbbells around, use water bottles as weights to hold on to as you do arm curls for your biceps, triceps and shoulder muscles. If that's too light weight resistance is ideal to utilize. Do push-ups or knee-ups as well as chin ups if you have a sturdy high bar somewhere. Always stretch before and after training as this increases blood flow to the muscles and optimizes your body for the workout ahead.

With these simple ways to workout at home, you have no excuse to not look fantastic every time you step out of your house. Live well and be happy!
