It’s a common misconception that in order to have a good workout, you need expensive, specialized equipment in order to make the most of the time that you set aside to exercise. This is far from the truth, a good workout session can be completed with very little equipment all in the comfort of your own home
What Exercises Can I Do At Home Without Equipment?
It is easy to find ways to break a sweat at home without any specialized equipment, all while addressing each of the reasons that many people have for working out.
When you work with our expert trainers, they will prescribe you with a routine that you can complete in the comfort of your own home with minimal to no equipment. Your routine will be entirely personalized based on your fitness goals and built according to your capabilities and ambitions.
Cardiovascular Exercises Without Equipment
Cardiovascular Exercise, or “Cardio” for short, focuses on elevating your heart rate, and moving at a steady, continuous rate. Any exercise that gets your large muscle groups moving for a sustained period of time is considered cardiovascular exercise.
Without any equipment, cardiovascular exercise can be completed by doing sets of movement-focused bodyweight exercises with minimal rest period between.
Strength Training Without Exercise Equipment At Home
Strength training is all about pushing your muscles to their limits safely, building up power as well as stamina. When you work with our trainers, and your goal is to improve muscle strength, we will provide you with a set of exercises focused on building strength and endurance, as well as instruct you on correct form and necessary areas to watch out for to ensure you’re making the most of your training sessions.
To build muscle strength at home without equipment, consider a routine built around performing vigorous bodyweight exercises like lunges, sit ups, and squats while safely carrying heavy objects. In place of a weighted vest or free weights, try performing squats or sit-ups while carrying a manageably heavy object such as a stack of textbooks. Full-body exercises like burpees, crunches, and planks are also proven to improve strength and endurance when integrated into a workout routine.
Always be sure to give yourself adequate space and a safe environment when performing high-intensity exercises to reduce your risk of injury or damage to things around you.
Best Exercises Without Equipment For Weight Loss
When it comes to exercising with a focus on weight loss, it is important to work closely with a fitness professional, such as our in-home personal trainers, in order to come up with a safe, and effective strategy to manage your weight. Our trainers will also prescribe specific exercise routines that you can complete at home between sessions, as well as nutritional guidance in order to help you along your weight loss journey.
Generally speaking, a fitness routine that blends cardio with strength training can provide a well rounded variety of exercises to make weight loss interesting and engaging. Body weight exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, squats, and jumping jacks are simple, effective exercises that anyone can do all on their own without any equipment.
Weight loss is a complex process, and everyone’s journey to their desired weight is different. While exercise is a key contributing factor to weight loss, it’s important to remember that other lifestyle choices also impact one’s ability to lose weight. Ending your day with a healthy caloric deficit and consistency in your exercise routine are the most powerful tools to get you on track to reach your fitness goals with the careful guidance of a professional personal trainer to lead you to success..
