Easy At Home Workouts

For those of you who may not get to the gym, there are many things you can do around your own home to build up your fitness level and strength.

You can bring an exercise routine into your favorite television program(s). A one hour TV show is actually only 40-42 minutes of the show. That leaves approximately 20 minutes to get some exercise into your day. During the commercials you could challenge yourself to do the plank, which strengthens your core. Push ups (or a modified version), which also strengthens you core and upper body. Jumping jacks (or a modified version) which would give you some heart healthy aerobic activity.

While you are cooking or doing laundry you could do reverse lunges 10-12 on each side.

Although we are not always aware of it, we all do squats all day. What these simple squats are lacking are rhythm and challenge. So, the suggested 2 minutes we brush our teeth could include 2 to 3 sets of 15 squats.

You should track your progress and watch as you are capable of doing more as you get stronger.

As with any exercise program, you should consult your physician before beginning. Your health is my number one concern.

God Bless. See you next Sunday
