What Kind of Exercises Can I Do At Home?
Stay active with bodyweight exercises to pass time while at home is a great tool because it allows one a distraction while giving back to the body\’s health.
Using apps like Zoom, Skype, WhatsApp for video calls can keep you in touch with others for friendly completions such as a pushup challenge.
We ,as trainers, are following suit so that our clients still feel connected and do not lose track of accomplishing their goals.
Here is a sample 15 minute workout [3 rounds of 5 minutes each]
45 seconds of effort with 15 seconds of rest for each exercise
Pushups
Towel Rows
Glute Bridges
Squats
Bicycle Crunches or Burpees
Pushups: Place hands on the floor about shoulder width distance. Perform push-ups on your knees instead of your feet to ease the difficulty on your upper body. Once ready perform them on your feet to really challenge your upper body strength.
Towel Rows: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Push your hips back so that your body is in a firm position. Grasp a towel firmly in both hands. Pull the towel towards your chest and extend the arms back to start.
Glute Bridges: Lie flat in your back with your knees propped up and pointing to the ceiling. Keep your heels close to your bottom. Raise the hips up until there is one line from the knees to the shoulders, and lower back down to repeat.
Squats: Have your feet shoulder-width apart. Pushup your hips back as you lower yourself down as if sitting in a chair. Raise yourself back up to standing to repeat.
Bicycle Crunches or Burpees
*You can alternate these moves between rounds to keep things challenging*
Bicycle Crunches: Lie flat on your back and reach an elbow to an opposing knee. Repeat the motion back and forth until time is complete.
Burpee: Perform a slight hop, tuck yourself down into a deep squat, kick your legs behind you as you brace yourself as in a pushup position on the feet. Reverse the motion to come back up to standing.
Modified: Extend your arms up to the ceiling while performing a calf raise. Tuck down into a deep squat and walk one leg out behind you at a time until you brace yourself as in a pushup position on the feet. Walk your feet back in and stand back at the starting position.
