At Home Workouts Made Easy

Introduction

Working out at home can be a great alternative to the gym. When you're on your own, you have more control over what you do, how much you do it and when. Plus, working out at home is less expensive than joining a gym or hiring a personal trainer—and there are plenty of options that will help you lose weight or build lean muscle mass without spending money on costly gym memberships or personal trainers!

Before you begin, check with your doctor.

Before you begin a home workout program, it's important to check with your doctor to make sure you're healthy enough for exercise. Your doctor can help you assess your fitness level and determine whether you need to start slowly or should go all out from the beginning. You'll want to avoid injury by starting slowly, but if your doctor tells you that there are no health issues preventing exercise and gives you the go-ahead, then it's time to get moving!

Designate a safe space for your workout area.

Make sure you have enough space for your equipment. If you don't, rearrange your furniture or find another room in your house to work out in.
Keep all of the equipment that you use for working out in this designated area of the house. You'll be more motivated to get up and go if there isn't any reason to go far beyond the door of this special gymnasium of yours!
This workout area is your "gym." Get focused, and get after it!

Set up a proper schedule for exercise.

It’s important to establish a routine that you can stick to in order to stay on track. Take some time every week -- say, on Sunday evening or Monday morning -- and schedule your workout in advance. Make sure it's something you know won't conflict with any scheduled events or appointments during the week so that you'll be able to devote the proper amount of time (and energy) to each session.

In addition, consider how long it takes for you to complete each exercise and whether or not there are any additional elements involved (like warm-ups or cool downs). If you only have 10 minutes to workout, then make the most of those 10 minutes! ANY activity is better than NO activity.

Check on form and safety first, then add weight.

The first thing to do is check your form. You should be able to lift the weight with proper form and not put your body at risk of injury. Always practice good form with no or light weight first. Watching tutorial videos from an experienced coach is a good place to start. Some workouts will require more rest time between sets or rounds while other workouts may be more beneficial to have minimal rest time. Do your research and figure out what type of workout is best for your goals!

Never push through pain—this could lead to

serious injury! Sharp, shooting pain is bad: if you feel this type of sharp pain during an exercise, stop immediately and consult a doctor or coach before continuing any exercise program or activity. Breathing properly while lifting can also help prevent injury by ensuring that there's enough oxygen circulating throughout the body during each lift (and also improves performance).

Make sure you're using the right equipment and getting fresh air when possible.

When you're working out from home, make sure you are using the right equipment. Bands, dumbbells, kettlebells, and exercise balls are great for at-home workouts in smaller rooms. It is also possible to get a wicked workout with using your bodyweight alone!

If you have access to outdoor space or a treadmill that faces the sun (which helps with vitamin d production) that is always a plus! Getting activity in outside is very beneficial for our mood and stress levels. You could also use an elliptical machine or stationary bike if you have one available! If all else fails: jump rope!

Find ways to infuse motivation into your workouts even if you're on your own.

A great way to get motivated is by finding a workout buddy. A friend, family member, or even your dog can be the perfect way to keep yourself going when you don't feel like it. Having someone there makes it more likely that you'll stick with your plan and get in a full session of exercise.

If your job keeps you busy throughout the day and you don't have much time to search for new friends, consider hiring one! There are many professional fitness trainers and coaches who will help create an individualized routine based on your goals and needs.

Another option for staying motivated at home is joining an online community through social media or groups that brings people together to share their experiences! This gives people the opportunity to interact directly with others who share similar interests without having to worry about meeting up in person first each time they want some extra motivation from their peers!

If you have trouble staying focused when working out at home, consider other strategies you can use to keep yourself motivated and on track.

It's important to stay motivated when working out at home. If you're not motivated, it's very easy to give up on a workout or skip it all together. But if you don't have the motivation, how are you supposed to get the results that will make your life better? Remember, a better word for motivation is grit!

To keep yourself "motivated" while working out at home, consider these strategies:

Listen to music that inspires you—this can help keep your mind focused on what matters most and get you excited about getting in shape.
Remember that motivation is fleeting. Focus more on discipline and realize you HAVE TO DO THE WORK TO GET THE RESULTS (that's true every day of your life).

Add more challenging exercises as you master easier ones

As you get stronger, try adding more reps or increasing the difficulty of one thing.
Try adding in fitness bands to use with dumbbells or other free weights that will help target specific muscle groups during workouts. For example, if you're doing bicep curls, a band can be looped around the foot and pulled toward your chest as an added resistance to increase the effectiveness of your biceps workout.
Instead of doing 3 sets of 10 reps of everything, try different workout routines.
Try 2 sets of 20 reps. Or 20 minute AMRAP (As Many Reps As Possible) 5 different exercises in a row without resting between each set! When this gets easy for you, switch it up again and go for 40 seconds on/20 seconds off until failure!

There are many options for home workouts that will help you lose weight and build lean muscle mass without spending money on costly gym memberships or personal trainers

If you are looking for an exercise routine that will help you achieve your fitness goals, then a home workout is perfect for you. Here are some reasons why:

They can be done in the comfort of your own home
No more traveling to the gym just to find out that the equipment isn't working properly or the class is cancelled!
You can do them whenever you want and as often as is necessary. If life gets crazy and there's no time for a trip to the gym, don't worry about it! Just stay consistent with your workouts at home so that when things start calming down again, you'll still be on track toward your goal weight or fitness goals (or both!).
