Easy At Home Gym
1. Stability Ball: These inflatable balls come in different sizes in order to accommodate your skill level. They are great for building core muscle strength while also developing a better sense of balance. If traditional crunches are easy for you, lay with the stability ball in the small of your back. With your knees bent at 90 degrees, crunch upwards. The ball forces you to engage your core and focus on the correct technique.
2. Cardiovascular Workout: While there might not be a treadmill in your home, there might just be a dog. Take Fido for a brisk walk or slow jog to get your heart rate up. Other easy at-home cardio workouts include riding your bike to the grocery store, or running the stadium stairs at the local high school.
3. Exercise/Yoga Mat: A good exercise mat can serve so many purposes. Aside from toting it to your regular yoga lessons, keep it in your home for a quick abdominal workout. Lay it in front of the television so that you can stretch while you watch your favorite program.
4.Resistance Band: These bands might not look like much, but they will help develop your muscles without bulky weight machines. Stand on top of the band, with legs shoulder-width apart. Hold the handles in your hands at shoulder level. Squat down, and as you return to a standing position, push your hands up above your head. Repeat for 2 sets of 12 repetitions.
5. Dumbbells: Dumbbells are an investment since you usually have to buy more than one weight size. With these stackable weights, you can add weight increments as needed. They not only save space, but money too. As you become stronger, you can adjust your weights accordingly, without having to purchase another pair of dumbbells.
