Home Workouts on the Go

No matter where you are, you can give your body the workout it needs with just a few effective exercises. It doesn’t matter if you’re at work, the movie theater, your grandmother’s house, in the living room watching trash television, or even a walk down to your local gas station. Okay, okay, so I got a little carried there for a bit. As long as I get my point across, that’s what matters. Plain and simple, you can workout anywhere. So what if you’re not in the mood to workout, getting just a small workout in can boost your mood and relieve a lot of stress, and plus it’ll do your body some good. Check out these applicable workouts for at home exercises:
1. Sprinting: When you are going somewhere from point A to point B, rather than walking, try to sprint instead. So let’s say next time you have to do an errand or going over to a friend’s house, try to spring the whole way there to build some muscular endurance power. When you step on the athletic field, you’ll definitely see the carryover, and plus you’ll probably get more errands done with this way. Nothing better than getting errands done while getting your workout in all at the same time!
2. Push-ups: One of the best exercises to build upper body strength and overall core are push-ups. You can virtually do this exercise pretty much anywhere, even in the bath tub while taking a shower. If you want to work more of the chest, position your hands wide. If you want to target your triceps, position your hands closer inwards. For added difficulty and resistance, elevate your feet such as on a chair while you’re doing this exercise. A great way to get push-ups in is when you’re watching television. If you’re watching a football game or movie, do 30-40 push-ups every time a commercial comes on. If you’re going to watch trash TV all day, do it with a productive pace all at the same time will you.
3. Lunges: Although you might look a little goofy to the neighbors when you do lunges around your yard or inside your house, your quads and glutes will be thanking you after a good leg workout. With your torso in a erect position, take a long step forward and softy land, and then continue with your other foot. With this exercise, form is everything. Until your thigh is parallel with the ground, continue to drop your leg until then. Do not let your knee position past your toe. With this exercise, you want to work at a moderate pace, so slow and stead is key. The tempo at which you want to do this exercise is two seconds up and two seconds down. Working up to more sets as you advance, start out with one set of ten reps on for each leg.
