4 Quick & Easy At Home Exercises

Quick and easy at home workouts

We all know how important it is to stay active, but sometimes we don’t feel like leaving our house! These exercises can get you moving in your living room or bedroom, with no additional equipment needed.

1. Body Weight Squats

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Lower your body down as low as you can, keeping your weight in your heels and not letting your knees go over your toes. When you come up, come up fast; pop your hips and squeeze your butt. Do 2-3 sets with 10-12 reps each.

2. Reverse Lunges

Start with your left foot planted on the ground, while you bring your right leg backwards into a lunge. Lower your right leg until your knee almost hits the ground. Come back up and alternate legs. Keep your core tight during these lunges. Do 2-3 sets with 10-12 reps each.

3. Push-ups

Get in a push-up position, with your arms and hands slightly below your shoulders. Fingers should point forwards, push your shoulders away from your ears. Keep your glutes engaged and lower down until your chest only a couple inches above the floor. Keep track of how many you can do and aim to continuously beat your own goal!

4. Abdominal Twists

Sit on your butt and lift your heels off the ground while leaning slightly back. Put your arms straight in front of you with your palms together. Twist side to side until your hands are almost hitting the floor for 30-60 seconds.
